      the complete full-pedal commitment towards killing local minorities characteristic of the Republican Party

      My city of Houston has had Democrats at national and local governments all firmly committed to dumping as much money and manpower as possible into the Republican-controlled police forces inflicting these harms upon their constituents. The current mayor is entirely in bed with the GOP police establishment. His singular claim to fame during his legislative tenure was stripping death row victims of their last meals. "Ah, but Trump will be worse" constantly overlooks the persistent harms inflicted by compliant Democrats.

      Do not vote for the bad cop, please.

      I can't vote for the "good" cop either. They're both working to the same effect.

          Are you trying to vote-shame me into voting for Trump instead of Uncommited?

          Yes. This is exactly what I'm doing

              they're not being literal. you're misreading the tone. it's a backhanded way of saying you misunderstood them the first time.

      anyone posting agitprop for voting for the Rs deserves an instant ban for fascism. I would be shocked if they don't immediately receive one. I'm pretty sure what people are saying here is that they're ambivalent to who wins the election and contrasting the harms of the Biden administration with the harms of a second Trump admin. it's not an endorsement, it's just analysis.

          I don't think anyone disagrees with that? no one is talking about voting for them. they're engaging in analysis about the effect the Trump admin had on the USian empire.
