Oh both sides are the same ?

That tune again.

One Hitler is attempting to make progress towards education, establishing renewables, fixing the failures of redlining, further investing in farming, protecting natural reserves, alleviate student debt, bring manufacturing state side, holding companies more accountable, having politicians that actually represent their constituents, having a focus on making medication more available and making fairly significant strides in funding for cancer research.

And well, the other Hitler is attempting to become president for the rest of his life, bury the voices of minority and LGBT voices in the sand and preventing these people from holding cabinet positions, vying for corporate tax write-offs, and campaigning on literal hatred.

But yeah, both sides are the same for us. None of it matters because both would participate in the war machine.

Sorry, the idea that Trump would be better for Gaza is literally insane to me. He has said "finish the problem" in support of Israel, so, in fact, no he would not be better. He would be far, far worse. In literally every aspect imaginable. Side note: Biden has been criticized lately for not being present in cabinet meetings. Trump was literally not present at the same ones during his time in office. We are voting for the Presidential Cabinet, not just the President.

Do we want someone like Betsy DeVoss for Secretary of Education again? Do we really want someone like Scott Pruit for the head of the EPA again? Like come on people, Biden sucks in so many ways but he has a cabinet that at least attempts to be beneficial for people like us. Queer politicians can actually feel safe having a job in the government, and the more of us that exist in politics the more change we can make.

Edit: Wrote all this before learning Biden has dropped out. Wow!
