    “Think” might be a strong word if you believe they are equal. If you truly think they are equally bad, why do you continually describe the Democrats as being bad because they allow the Republicans to do bad things? Surely there would be no need to use them as a proxy if both parties are doing equally bad things on their own? You know deep down that the Democrats are a passive evil rather than an active one, don’t pretend you believe they are identical.

    Not going to bother responding to this well, but if you want to know my understanding of the situation:

    They’re the same.

    No

    They both fuck over minorities, […] they both fuck over women, they both fuck over queer people,

    Tends to be Republicans by a fairly wide margin

    they both increase deportations,

    See my previous comments in this thread, this is true but I do not believe deportations under Biden have caused as much harm as the ones under Trump.

    they are both warmongers,

    Again, true but tends to favor Republicans. Obama got the Iran conflict under control until Trump blew it up again, for example.

    they both do genocide,

    True

    they both fuck over the climate,

    True, but favors Republicans especially with the complete gutting of the EPA recently.

    they are both parties full of geriatric

    Yes, in fact the average age is basically identical

    genocidal

    Yes, although detractors tend to be Democrats as it’s the best party for them

    fascist

    Same as above, nonfascists always choose the Democratic party. I wonder why?

    pedophiles.

    HEAVILY favors Republicans.

    Conclusion: Democrats are a better choice than republicans, and claiming they are the same is illogical.

      “think”

      Wowww so uncivil!

      Read the link, you’re saying absolutely nothing that hasnt been addressed.

      why do you continually describe the Democrats as being bad because they allow the Republicans to do bad things?

      When they’re not already doing it themselves it is because the republicans are already doing it for them. Like the crime bill.
      If it werent in their interests then they would roll it back or oppose it.

      The rest, and really this point too, has already been adressed by the link. Im not interested in arguing for the sake of arguing, so I won’t waste more time giving rebuttals to something that is already refuted by the linking of another comment. If you actually want to discuss these things, then do it with the modicum of civility it requires to actually engage with the other. Otherwise you’re just trolling.
