What? If you mean Trump, I think it’s pretty dishonest or at best ignorant to liken them to each other. He absolutely has his flaws, tons of them, but categorically excluding him from the discussion isn’t justified.
I mean both. I feel like Trump's flaws, crimes and Project 2025 [0,1] should exclude him from discussion. Like, he should be politically radioactive at this point. Set all of that lunacy aside and Trump is just a mainstream Republican.
Not that I like Biden, mind you, I just hate him less than Trump. They're both imperialist, capitalist bastards but Biden is at least less fascism-adjacent.
The problem is that our first past the post, two party (in practice) system means most of the "discussion" we could have is meaningless. The candidates and most of the votes were already locked in well before any campaigning even took place. Biden vs Trump 2 Electric Boogaloo was a fait accompli. Most people will vote red pill or blue pill.

This is incredibly based. Letting tens of millions of illegal immigrants be counted towards appropriating congressional seats/electoral votes is literal insanity.

No, it isn't. Those people hold residence in the US, they work and they pay taxes, they exist as the persistent underclass in the American economy. If we're going to allow and maintain that underclass - which, despite rhetoric to the contrary, we clearly will, then they deserve to be represented.
Also, the allocation and funding of government services - which undocumented immigrants also take advantage of - depends on a count of actual persons, not just citizens.
Insanity would be pretending those tens of millions of people simply don't exist.
They should be deported immediately. Imagine believing they're actually seeking asylum and not just opportunistic economic migrants. Every nation in the world has a secure border but for some reason the US can't. Wonder why.
