    Democrats are the brakes and the republicans are the accelerator. But the steering wheel is stuck turning right and very few has any incentive to turn the wheel. And Trump is like “what if we just remove the brakes?”

      Sure, I don’t say that the Democrats are good, but they’re not fascist. Being smug and saying that “Democrats and Republicans are the same” won’t save you from the death camps.

        So the Gaza genocide and its continuous funding didn’t begin under Biden? 'Cause genocide seems kinda like a fascist thing to me.

          Republicans are Hitler. Democrats are Mussolini. One thinks being in power, drinking wine, having parades, and beating up little guys is great fun. The other thinks he can go toe to toe with Russian winters.

          Sure, Hitler’s the greater evil, but Mussolini helps however he can.

            Ok… so someone is pointing out that Biden and Kamala literally gave Israel billions of dollars in weapons to fund the genocide, and all you can say is…

            The genocide is worse under Trump?

            Do you realize how stupid that sounds?

              What? No, I do think that Kamela would kill Palestinians also. I just don’t think that Kamela would do Gestapo style kidnappings of it’s critics. So iI wonder how long you are allowed to protest under trump compared to Kamela.

            So Biden or Kamala would have eventually intervened in the Israeli genocide of Palestinians? Based on what evidence? There’s barely an air gap between the two parties on their policies towards Israel, even now. No matter who you vote for, both parties serve the interests of the rich. For Drump, it’s mostly about self enrichment. For the Dems it’s mostly about enriching their donors in the corporate world. Neither party gives two shits about working class people. And yes, Trump is worse, big whoop. That’s hardly an argument for supporting whichever corporate stooge the Dems roll out for the next election. It’s an argument for getting rid of both hopelessly corrupt parties and starting over.

              Kamela’s lost vas the Democrat’s own fault, I don’t think even if every leftist abstainer voted Kamela would have won.
