Representative democracy is a lie, but if they let you vote you can still use that vote to help choose your adversary. Better a genocidal 'centrist' than a genocidal fascist, at least until the left is strong enough that they could take the right in a fight credibly enough for the 'centrists' to pick the left.
Same. There are some views that should disqualify one from holding public office, and supporting genocide is one of them.
While you are correct, voting for democrats is not because we love them and love everything they do. We vote democrat because we need to keep the batshit insane far right out of power.
If we don't or if we vote far right, a lot MORE people will suffer and die. That does not mean we agree or like or approve that people suffer and die under democrat rule.
Under biden people were deported and put in camps. But under trump they are put in concentration camps in a foreign country where they will most likely not leave alive.
Either we get shot in the leg (democrats) and we fight and do everything we can to help others. or we get shot in the head (republican/far right) and we can't do anything to help others because we are either dead or in a concentration camp in el salvador.
Did you not read what i said? I literally explained they are shit and don't give a fuck... fucking hell...
Wise take. We live in this world, we have to make the better choice, even if it's still a bad one. Maybe later you can move from genocidal 'centrist' to a non genocidal one, but this is a full on accelerated descent into amorality, hatred and love of ignorance for the US.
