Actor and comedian Russell Brand said he finds it difficult to understand why any freedom-loving American would choose to vote for President Biden over former President Trump in the upcoming election.

“In a straight choice between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, if you care about democracy, if you care about freedom, I don’t know how you could do anything other than vote for Donald Trump for precisely the reasons that they claim that you can’t,” he told Pipko.
“They act as if a vote for Donald Trump is almost like you’re directly voting for Armageddon, like you see hysterical performances outside of courtrooms, endless MSNBC bombast,” Brand continued.” But I’m starting to think that no, a greater threat to democracy is this kind of technological feudalism, that tells you that it cares about you and that it’s protecting vulnerable people, all the while increasing censorship, increasing the funding of wars, increasing the division between ordinary Americans.”

“For a long time, Elizabeth, I’ve been concerned about the snobbery and the contempt and condemnation in which people that support Donald Trump are plainly held by his detractors,” Brand said. “And this is while you have an administration that’s emulating his policies, plagiarizing from Donald Trump, while simultaneously criminalizing him from the weaponization of the legal system.”
“The idea of this…Orwellian nightmare continuing all the while they’re telling you that they’re helping you, is a far greater threat than their constant portrayal of Trump as a mad strongman figure, a kind of twenty-first century reiteration of the despotism of the last century,” Brand added. “For me, what we are facing now is a bigger threat than that.” ***

However, I think that the Democrats will replace Biden with someone pretending to be more palatable to the voters.
Wonder how long it will take before Russell hears banging at his door at 3 a.m.?
More palatable for you maybe, not for me or anyone that doesn't want the boot of tyranny kicking their face forever.
“However, I think that the Democrats will replace Biden with someone more palatable to the voters.”
They want Newsom, but can’t pass over Harris without paying a heavy price. Harris might be one of the few people on the planet that would poll less support than FJB.
They have been trying to cancel him for a while now.
Good points. The Democrats have got themselves in a pickle. Perhaps Harris will be “offered” a different position such as Senator or Governor.
And, exactly, how do we, successfully, get around all of the cheating that will happen, this November?
That is the $64 question. If Biden is replaced, the Democrats won’t have to cheat…as much.
Russell Brand has almost 7 million subscribers on his YouTube channel, many of whom may be persuadable.
Good one!
I like your version better than mine.
Thank God people are starting to see what's happening... it's been getting scary being a 'deplorable'... Thank you Russell Brand ...
SCOTUS justice Kamala Harris...
Now, I shall have nightmares. Ugh
I saw on some other news channels that Brand said NOT to vote for Trump. What am I missing here? Need to do some research.
