Trump in many ways is less bad than Biden but he isn't what the nation needs. The nation needs to understand that this system enslaves us. Keeps us in fear and believing the lie that we need rent seekers like Biden and Trump. We do need each other but instead of focusing on controlling others, stealing from others, and using the military to prop up the dollar American's need to live and let live. Focus on innovation. Trump says many good things but based on his prev term he will screw it up. He's a clown. Next to Biden he does look good but that just shows how much of a clown Biden is.
I see the US in the midst of decline. Trump may slow it a bit but honestly I'm not sure that's a good thing. Trump is a false hope for many. They actually believe what he says he will do. Been watching this stuff for most of my life and I've heard it all before. Don't put you hope in these clowns. Bitcoin is hope, not the political system. It will provide a real check on power and abuse.
You may be right but what other options do you have?

The truth is for half of my life I voted and was "engaged". The second half I have been the opposite and much happier. From where I sit I see very little change regardless of who is in power in the U.S. Both sides work for the elites. They are more similar than they are different.
You are in another country no? I REALLY don't get why people outside of the US get wrapped up in US politics. I'm not trying to be mean but many years ago I realized that the media profits off of getting everyone all worked up. Its a form of mind control. I stopped following the news. I never read it. I never watch it. Others tell me about it so I can't escape it. I don't get stressed about politics anymore. The politicians really feed off of fear and its the only tool they have left. They have run out of ideas long ago. Now its all about stopping the other guy. Preventing some dark future. Its not about a bright future. Its about controlling others. I reject that. Don't want to be about that.

I like your perspective.
I get wrapped up in US politics not because of media but because of my personal interest in a great democracy with libertarian values. I also don't read an watch news. And, for my/your country and for all the world, I can surely say that your views are 100% correct.

That's interesting. Do you believe the US has libertarian values?
Might I recommend reading Democracy: The God That Failed | Mises Institute. If you are interested in libertarian values and democracy you will probably enjoy it or at least find it thought provoking.

Yes they are true options but I wanted to know about your options of people becoming POTUS. I mean , do we have a real poltician who can be better than Trump or any other options.

That 'we' is there only to suggest that I also can't see any better option and the system is definitely screwed, not only in US but everywhere else, barring a few barren lands.
