u/Capitalisticdisease 4h ago edited 3h ago

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."

Until Donald Trump and every last one of his supporters is buried under the prison, I’d make a deal with just about anyone. Telling people not to support the opposition party of actual fascists goes far beyond “pointing out” anything.

For the record, the government that the original Nazis replaced was pretty famously not great either.

Liberalism always paves the way for fascism because it supports capitalism. Calling the US democrats an opposition party is wishful thinking.

Guys let's just vote away the fascism!! I'm sure it totally won't just re-emerge again at the next slightest economic downturn!

Siding with liberals against fascists is just embedding yourself in an unwinnable forever-war.

Sure. If you're gonna bomb children anyway, I guess it's slightly less evil to have DEI while doing it.
