    As opposed to them doing the exact same thing as the republicans as depicted in the OP? We’re both exaggerating for effect

      you think the democrats are better because you only care when you are on the receiving end of what your country does to the global south countries every decade since after WW2. You literally do not care about people outside your own country as you don’t consider them humans and would gladly have them die for your own comfort and treats.

        Did it feel good to attack that strawman you made up? Let me know when you’re ready for an actual discussion.

            Surely you can think of a better way to affect meaningful change than sitting in a basement accusing random people online of being fascists. You do realize this is detrimental to your cause?

            Then again, maybe you don’t… yeah, probably not. What a waste.

              You do realize this is detrimental to your cause?

              What cause? Like getting people who are legitimizing a system that enables, defends and protects genocide into communism?

              Then again, maybe you don’t… yeah, probably not. What a waste.

      No the democrats are doing the exact same, thats not an exaggeration. They are both committing a genocide.

        You are free to believe they are equivalent in spite of the many, many differences. I’m not having this argument again.

              LMFAO this is literally the same from an outside perspective. You BLUEmaga people really do only care about decorum and domestic issues in politics. You even admit that Biden wasn’t good. It’s all “lesser evil” for you. And guess what, evil is still evil you fucking idiot.

                I care about decorum insofar as I think in personal discussions calling someone a fucking idiot is not useful to understanding or changing their views. In politics I don’t really care about decorum? Why do you think I would?

                As for domestic issues: Yeah I care about them, I fucking live here. If both practical options have the same outcome outside the nation but vastly different ones inside, why wouldn’t I vote for the party that’s going to improve one of them? It’s not like the democrats are worse than the republicans internationally.

                As long as there are two choices in this system I will always choose the better choice. Not doing so is completely illogical. If you want a choice that’s not evil you have to work to change the system entirely. If you were planning on doing that, why not also make things less bad when you can?

                  That’s literally the point, you will legitimize a system if it serves you. You do not consider how your rationale and accepting this harms farm more people. Billions vs. a few million within the Imperial Core.

                  Just so you know, marginalized groups in your own country do not fare any better under a democrat. They are still all the time under threat of ICE, they were so under Biden but you lot just did not give a single fucking shit about it because liberals lack object permanence.

                    You might actually be delusional. Name any metric under which a marginalized group could fare better or worse and I will show you the difference.

                    Anyways “legitimizing” is a vague principle that leads to incorrect choices. If there would be a real, practical effect you could point to, you wouldn’t have to speak so vaguely.
