I think the thing that most impresses me about this post is how you just completely neglected to mention forgein policy in your list of things like at all. The Democrats and Republicans being the same regarding supporting the US Empire (besides one side or the other pretending to be anti-war while being in the opposition sometimes, but not following through on that once in power) is a huge factor here lol. Really shows your priorities and that you just do not give a single shit about the global south.
You could just choose to shut up do whatever you want. I have been doing actual political work and mutual aid work and defending my local comrades from pigs and liberals as well as fascists for over 20 years so kindly just quit this smarmy self important crusade you are on nobody gives a shit what you think.
They already are. Under Biden. They did under Obama too. When are you liberals going to get over your great man theory and learn that it's not Trump and it isn't just Netenyahu. The US and Israel will be the same regardless of which party is at the helm.
You don't give a shit about any of the things you mentioned because Democrats don't either.
There will be more after Trump and Netanyahu, and I will fight them as well. I will fight every fascist at every opportunity every time.
Why aren't you fighting the other half of the exact same fascist machine then? Instead you insist on carrying water for the fascists that put on a civil facade. That's not fighting fascism, that's aiding it.
Why won't you?
Oh fuck OFF. Nakoichi just fucking told you they have been doing REAL work to fight fascists for over 2 decades, but you completely ignore that. Such obvious bad faith.
The Democratic party doesn't even have a fascist wing.
They have been arming, and providing every possible cover for a fascist regime committing a genocide for the last 8 months. Just this week they were glad-handing the monster in charge of carrying it out. Shut the fuck up, you absolute ghoul.
Why don't you care about any of the people in America?
As a disabled person living off federal benefits, with a transgender girlfriend living in a red state, I'm literally got skin in the game personally, so don't tell me that I don't care about people living in America. The problem is there is an active genocide going on and the Biden adminstration, including Kamala, are supporting it.
If you think the parties are the same on foreign policy but the Democrats are better on all the thing I mentioned, doesn't that still mean the Democrats are less terrible?
I dont think they are materially better on the things you mentioned on the federal level as I mentioned in another post. The best they've done is nice sounding words. Another thing you forgot to mention btw is immigration, on which Biden has somehow managed to be materailly worse than Trump lmao. So theres that too.
and I would very much like to have an option that wasn't, but I don't, do I? I have to chose between the options given, and as bad as they are they're clearly the less bad option.
You have options that aren't that and they all involve doing literally any political thing other than voting. I literally don't care if you decide to vote for Kamala, especially if you live in a swing state. Just please, god, take your eye off electorialism because it won't save us.
And serious, how can you not understand even after RvW that doing nothing is still better for you than what the Republicans will do.
The republicans do it anyway!! The republicans do what they want, the democrats allow them to while raking in donations by telling everyone how mean the republicans are! It's not that the democrats are better because they don't do bad things but republicans do, it's that they are both parts of the same machine that does these things, playing their respective roles! How can you be so fucking blind as not see the blatant "good cop/bad cop" routine for what it is?? And yet you are calling other people morons (ableist language by the way, asshole) for trying to get this very obvious reality through to you!
Doing other things than voting doesn't stop you from voting. It takes 5 minutes every couple years. It is literally the least you can do
Voting for someone abetting a genocide (Biden, Harris) is endorsing that genocide. If the democrats win an election after funding a genocide, what kind of mesage is that sending all politicians, whether you like them or not? It's telling them that they can commit genocide without repercussion, they can commit genocide and still have the support of the voting public. Voting for genocidaires (let alone defending them and trying to get others to do the same) makes you complicit in the current genocide as well as the ones that are sure to follow due to green light given to those who perpetrate them. You're telling Democrats and any other politicians "as long as you give lip service to the things I care about - no need to follow through on them btw - then you can go ahead and murder entire nationalities and ethnic groups the world over, it's ok, I'll still vote for you." Fucking disgusting.
What a laughable deflection. Politicians give a shit what the voting public in aggregate does, dipshit. If they don't give a shit what you think, why are you advocating for one half of them? Why are you trying (and failing so bad it's funny) to argue that people should vote for one team of them that you think are "less bad"?
but I'm not so far up my own ass that I don't care about the consequences of my actions.
Like, do you really not care that you completely contradict yourself from one comment to the next, or hell, from one sentence to the next?
More people will die if Trump wins, and that is all that matter to me.
Meanwhile Biden & Harris fund a literal, undeniable genocide. You are such a clown I'd think it was impressive if it weren't so disgusting.
If you think that's supporting genocide then you can take you sick bizarro logic and shove it up your ass.
Yeah, refusing to vote for genocidaires is "sick, bizarro logic" but sending them your approval by voting and stanning for the genocidaires is "fighting fascism." Nah, you can take your sick, twisted, fascist-apologist illogical rationalizations and shove them up your ass, you sycophantic loser.
