    Drag voted for less genocide. You voted no preference on genocide. And you think that gives you the moral high ground, because less genocide is still genocide.

      You can’t kill people twice. It’s the same amount of genocide and you’re just deluding yourself so you feel better about your choices. Instead of demanding better candidates, since you and the rest of the vote blue no matter who crowd has been out to brunch for the last four years.

        This is an interesting look into your mind. Do you really think they’ll be the same? Trump will accelerate hit since he doesn’t even pretend to care, is that the same? He’ll also attack more minorities domestically, killing many more people, is that the same?

        I guess in a black and white worldview those are basically the same, but 'cmon, we can have some nuance here.

          You’re assuming he’ll accelerate. We don’t know what he will do. Chances are it will be more of the same - funding and arming Israel’s genocide while saying there’s no money here at home for broadly supported policies like universal healthcare.

          No change from what the democrats are already doing. And this idea of “genociding harder” that shitlibs are bleating about - trump cant kill those who’ve already been killed under biden.

          Who’s he attacking domestically that the democrats aren’t already? Their support of trans rights is a joke. Their support of immigrants is a joke. They wanna defund the police yet elect a prosecutor make it make sense. The democrats don’t have any platform other than “we’re not trump”. So all we can expect is more of the same failed policies.

          The republicans being no better is not the flex you think it is.
