Damn, you've been showing off a lot of privilege, my dude. I don't usually like invoking that concept, but you're dripping all over the floor. Maybe it's time for you to stop and think about the fact that it easy to paint everyone with a broad brush and say, "it's okay if the body count goes up by a few million, I'll just wait until a better candidate comes along" when you're not the one on the firing line.

It's easy to say that when you're not the one who may get bounced from country to country as you try to seek refuge from a genocidal dictator.

It's easy to say that when you're not the one who's going to have to rip their entire life apart just to survive.

It's easy to say that when you're not the one who's family is going to be split up as a result.

Like, feel free to criticize the Democrats as much as you want, I hate them too. But I don't have the privilege to just sit around and wait for Mr(s) Perfect to arrive. I may have a matter of months, if not weeks before I have to flee the country.

So fuck you and your "both sides" bullshit. It takes some serious privilege, or at the very least, the mindset of a bucket of crabs to say something like that.
