Both are bad. If they were campaigning in the UK, the public would be laughing bollocks. I only see Bernie as a reasonable candidate. I would definitely vote him if he runs for PM here.

A thing called constitution and laws and democracy. We cant put Bernie on the ballot just because you want it.
It would be cruel to vote for Biden given his obvious dementia, but i think (and hope) he might just resign and let his VP run things. So yeah i would go with Biden.
At this point though, i would vote for 9/10 republicans over trump.

I don't know how voting works in the US. but in the UK, I can just not mark anyone and write anything I want. That way I can spoil the vote in a fun manner.

How comes David Tennant is not prime minister then?
Elections get worse and worse in the USA.... it will soon be like picking the class delegate in school...

Don't ever look down on someone unless you're helping him up. Don't ever treat someone else the way you wouldn't want others to treat you.
We're all people.

Yeah same thing in netherlands. You can vote blank. If blank vote wins the election has to be redone. However i dont think that is how things work in usa. You will either have a republican pres or a democratic president.

I just want opinions from americans themselves.
Wait wait, do americans really have only 2 parties? only 2 candidates? There is no option for someone else to pop in?

Has your country developed the program "Google" yet? Google for two seconds and you would know that we have hundreds of parties, but only two have dominated American politics for the past 150 years, since the end of the Civil War, with some exceptions: Republicans and Democrats

Thanks for the advice. Two major parties for 150ish years, and several minor (3 were given as example).
The ignorance on this thread astounds me, and I am appalled by the sheer amount of support that you've all thrown behind candidates other than Trump. I am seriously disappointed by what Sid, Boywind, Zoella, and Steve Aoki wrote in this post, and I am here to dispel some misconceptions surrounding politics in the United States that you all clearly possess.
In this post, my argument will be bifurcated to address why you should support Trump and why you should not support Biden or any other candidate.
To begin, I should disclose that few Republicans I associate with prefer Trump over any other Republican, and I share these thoughts as well. But, at the same time, rarely is our preferred candidate ever chosen for the presidency, and even more rarely does any candidate deliver on true-to-life Republican principles or true-to-life Democratic principles. But, even while considering the multitude of flaws that engross the Trump candidacy, I would still support him not only on a relative basis, but on an absolute basis. In other words, I genuinely support Trump because of what he stands for as a candidate and what he brings to the table of public policy.
I support Trump on an absolute basis because of his domestic policy, which includes his attitude and policy effectuated in support of small businesses, which have the lowest top marginal tax rate in more than 80 years. Furthermore, had it not been for the Senate, the Affordable Care Act would have been repealed on Trump's order. Only one Republican senator blocked this effort: John McCain. Nevertheless, Trump managed to get rid of the Individual Mandate, which the Supreme Court should have done to begin with, seeing how it does not pass constitutional muster under either the Commerce Clause or any other Clause in the Constitution. This lends itself to yet another crucial element of my support for Donald Trump: his capacity to nominate Supreme Court justices who adhere to traditional notions of Constitutional Law, including Textualism and Originalism. Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch are fine additions to the Supreme Court, and because Trump has so much control over the Supreme Court, in this respect, I would be obliged to never support a Democratic president.
I also support Trump's foreign policy, and especially his policy towards Israel, Iran, Venezuela, the European Union, and China. For far too long, the United States supported the isolation and implicit destruction of Israel. Israel is a land of hope, a hedge against Middle Eastern tyranny, and a nation that must be supported in light of Iran's support of terrorism and in light of the actions it takes to undermine not only Israel, but also the United States. In light of the reasons I support Trump, some reservations I have include his unwillingness to pursue entitlement reform. Trump refuses to reform welfare programs such as Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. I also think Trump is unprofessional and conducts himself well below the status that the presidency would usually require of its occupant.
Now, why would I not support Biden or any other candidate? First of all, on the Republican side of the spectrum, no other candidate is able to win, since the Republican primary is essentially complete. This same logic applies to the Libertarian Party. Even though I share more in common with the Libertarian Party, they have no chance at winning the presidency and I am satisfied with Trump, anyway. On the Democratic side of the spectrum, every candidate would expand the welfare state, expand the scope of government, politicize the Supreme Court, permit the funding of Planned Parenthood, overhaul federalism, and in doing so destroy the Constitution that the president must swear to obey. They would also fail to lasso the administrative state, they would fail to treat the United States as a world power, and they would fail to reform entitlements, which are a threat to our national security.
With respect to Biden, he is a pawn of the progressive movement. In fact, Biden swore to install a female for his Vice President, which illustrates the type of intersectional politics that are not only part and parcel with his candidacy, but with his administration, as it would not be run by him but by his progressive subordinates. This, compounded with his mental deficiencies, should write him off the ticket of any rational American.
This post only briefly touched on many of the issues surrounding foreign and domestic policy and politics overall in the United States. I would gladly delve deeper into this topic depending on any comments or questions I receive. I understand that some of the information is not readily digestible to many non-Americans, but hopefully this enlightened some of you regarding the political landscape abroad.

Never, because we aren't a democracy and democracy is a tyrannical form of government.
The United States is a republic founded on republican ideals. The Constitution divides government into three distinct branches so that no representative of the people is equipped with too much power. The Framers knew that majoritarian rule is a form of tyranny, which is why the Supreme Court is supposed to act as a hedge against majoritarian rule by impartially applying the Constitution and its unenumerated principles to the daily functions of government and the daily conduct of citizens. The 17th Amendment was never included during the Founding era because the Framers knew that the Supreme Court must not be responsive to the people, but rather to the Constitution. As soon as the 17th Amendment was ratified, the Supreme Court became increasingly more responsive to public opinion. Before, state legislatures, which were elected by the people, elected Senators who would, in turn, appoint justices to the United States Supreme Court. Today, Senators are elected by the people, who in turn appoint Supreme Court justices. Two barriers formerly existed between the people and the institution that is charged with protecting the republic from popular incursions. Today, only one barrier exists, which threatens the Republic and puts us on the road towards democracy.
If you would take the time to read the Federalist Papers, you would know that democracy is an evil concept, and there is a reason the framers installed a form of government that would undermine majoritarian rule.

Trump is a moron, Republicans are nothing but a bunch on rednecks.
Meanwhile Democrats are educated people who can actually do stuff unlike republicans smh.
The USA looks like a third world country, from an Island that's basically a one city nation and is split into two and governments constant failings and taxes
I don't know how Americans can handle it with the two party system and haven't asked for anything new or a change.
The way the media over there is presented is also so strange and absurd to most Europeans. You can really see the divide in that and how it fuels two party systems

*War in Europe again isn't good for anyone... that's why the EU Needs to Evoke and Become the EEC once more, as an International, Nationalist Union Long Live The Realms! Long Live the Europeans!*
JOE BIDEN WILL WIN 2020 the trump administration is corrupt bro look at the news see whats going inspector general fired and the supreme court going to vote releasing trumps tax returns we all remember as well trump dated a porn star why you guys look up to a corrupt leader like this you know how many people are dead almost 100,000 Americans and yet trump points the blame game instead of doing stuff he should lead by example and were a mask listen to DOCTOR FACUI IF YOU OPEN SCHOOL KIDS WILL DIE. more people will die before this gets better thats a fact.
It would be cruel to vote for Biden given his obvious dementia, but i think (and hope) he might just resign and let his VP run things. So yeah i would go with Trump
