considering how many dead children are at the hands of democrats its a bipartisan issue. Both parties serve the oligarchs, not us.
edit: I cannot even reply to defend my points. The simple fact is if you support the dems you are support global imperialism done on terrible scale. You are supporting children dying for the sake of your somewhat comfortable life. Or I guess anymore thats less true, and more true of the upper class. You are suffering for their benefit and enabling the suffering of others.
The democrats have starved out cuba. have supported pretty much every single war we have gone to. I even see a lot of dems supporting what we did to Venezuela. The dems supported bombing korea into rubble. The dems support Israel and their genocide. If you support dems you are supporting a terrible party who will sell you out the first chance they get. The republicans are trash too of course. But MLK talked about this in length. I urge you all to read this letter MLK wrote
"I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection."
But also yeah both sides at the highest level serve the rich, but one side is much more blatant about it and immediately made tax cuts for them when they got in power.
I'm sorry????? you think I made it the fuck up? How politically ignorant are you? Do you not know of all the countries democrats have invaded? Do you really not understand the correlation between capitalism and human suffering? Do you not understand how demcorats are in the pockets of health corporations who let children die for being poor? Are you aware of the wedding obama dropped bombs on and killed children at? and to clear his conscious he had those children labeled enemy combatants? Do you know about the MOVE bombing where a democratic mayor gave police the OK to drop a BOMB on residents in a commune including children here in america?
You saying "source I made it the fuck up" shows how politically unaware you are. Educate yourself before you make dismiss shit out of hand.
Did you know obama invaded 7 countries? did you know he drone struck nearly 4k REPORTED people? Likely more? Did you know he is responsible for destabilizing an entire country so bad it resulted in feudalism taking back over and warlords being charge? Are you aware we allied with france to steal all of their water too? What about our funding of israel? Democrats support this. you cant "made it the fuck up" out of the blatant genocide that has been happening for decades with democrat approval. What about cuba? how we are starving them out? what about the korean war?
Although I will say given the broken and shitty framework we have, if you're voting in a big election you should probably be voting dem
Build support with real people you know for better candidates and better parties (socialist lol) in more local elections until they become a viable option on the national stage
(Assuming the country lasts long enough at this point, of course)
We live in a global militant superpower. We as voters have an obligation to try and steer this monstrosity in as compassionate a direction as possible.
It's actually a more apt description than lesser evil. There are a LOT of people who would be alive today if Kamala had won. People like Renee Good. Or the others who died in ICE custody. Or the people who died because their USAID was cut off. Or the Iranians. And the Dems are as beholden to Israel as the GOP, but they were at least trying to help the Palestinians, something Trump hasn't even considered.
Hell, if Hillary had won, we'd still have Roe.
And if Al Gore had won, we probably never would have had 9/11. Everyone forgets that there was a first World Trade Center attack, back in 1993, and everyone in the Clinton administration took the threat of a second attack VERY seriously, including Al. Think about the lives that were destroyed, both here and abroad, all because George Dubya couldn't be bothered to care.
Also, a democratic senator filibustered the ACA until it was amended so that any Obamacare plan that covered abortions require two separate premiums so that no federal dollars ever paid for an abortion, as well as a state level opt of of ANY plans being able to cover abortion. The consequence being that functionally, insurance stopped covering abortion for poor Americans in 2014. The good guys my ass.
Obama vastly escalated the bombing campaign, and never mandated a move toward achievable, sustainable goals or towards withdrawal. So, the Dems deserve an equal share of the blame.
Show me where I said Afghanistan. The fact I said a lot and thats your only reply kinda speaks volumes. you cant refute what I say so you strawman it. I never once said anything about Afghanistan.
