    The parties are not the same. One is an openly fascist party and the other is full of meek center-right neoliberals trying to keep the status quo for their wealthy donors. However neither is trying to “fix the damage” or “make it good again”, except perhaps for the top 0.001%. Most working-class people are shafted either way. If the republicans get their way, most non-whites will be deported on enslaved in prisons, women will be enslaved at home, and the remaining working-class white men will struggle to sustain themselves and their (non-working) wives and families under the christofascist dictatorship of the capital. If the democrats somehow claw back from that, there will be less abject racism and sexism but the working class will still struggle to survive in an increasingly monopolized dictatorship of the capital.

    Ask yourself this question: which democrat policies from the last decade directly benefit the working class? I can name maybe 3 very compromised policies that are about 60 years behind most of the world.

    To paraphrase an old meme, republicans want 100 rich white men to rule over the entire world with an iron fist; democrats want 30 of those people to be LGBTQ+ women of color.

    Are democrats better? Sure, a bit better. But it’s not like just electing them will save you.

      Your daily reminder that western liberals don’t consider foreigners human and would happily exterminate all of Palestine without a thought.

          Yeah, but only if it’s no inconvenience to you and other westerners. You certainly don’t care about them enough to remember that the Democrats are all in on their wholesale extermination.

              everyone.

              Yup, another reminder that you literally don’t consider foreigners to be human.

              And how about you explain how - even if we accepted it as true - “the other choice was worse for everyone” justifies you just completely not even bothering to remember the Democrats committing genocide, or you being more concerned with the comfort of domestic Americans than with your country committing genocide?

                Netanyahu wanted Trump to win and it wasn’t because he was going to start treating Palestinians better.

                The situation in Ukraine and domestic affairs are much worse.

                  ???

                  How the fuck are you going to justify this one without straight up admitting you only care about white lives (which is the answer, of course, but I thought you’d at least try to hide your monstrous bigotry)
