That really depends on if the Democrats are actually ride or die on this whole genocide thing.

[-] anarchost@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

Democrats are more likely to waver on the Palestinian genocide then the Republicans. But even assuming that they have the exact same positions, Republicans still have measurably worse positions on pretty much everything else.

I enjoy enough privilege to not be troubled by Republican policies, but many of my comrades do not enjoy that same privilege. I vote on their behalf too.

Republicans are worse on everything else, but at least when they're running things into the ground democrats are actually motivated to take action- as opposed to when its their guy doing it and they all act like their shit doesn't stink.

Biden eliminated all the supports + eviction protections from covid. If Trump was trying to "end COVID" with 9/11s of deaths happening every month do you really think the Democrats would just be going along with it?

You aren't explicitly saying a Trump presidency would be better for America, but do you understand that most people will take your comment to mean that?

Edit: ... And that's what she meant.

Most people are so into the team sports that anything critical of team blue is treated like a religious heresy.

There's a large subcategory of leftists who refuse to say whether Trump or Biden would be a better president. If you feel you aren't treated with sufficient charitability, you should put the blame squarely on their shoulders.

I don't really care about people I don't like treating me charitably, I want democrats to stop being absolute dogshit and I don't see how rewarding them with a vote does that.
