      Selling lgbt people, ethnic minorities, immigrants, poor people dependent on social programs only to gain… nothing. What a deal…

      Biden was pressuring Israel to act but also to do so with civilians in mind and to allow humanitarian efforts or risk getting cut off from military aid. Also the line that Kamala most probably would have towed as well. This is for those familiar with global politics is expected between long standing allies ( something Trump is currently failing at every stage currently). Meanwhile Orange Musolini has basically said “Have at it, also that spot there would be great for a hotel”. So I fail to see how you could even compare the two. But sure I guess if you happened to fail to grasp the nuance in global politics.

      Unless you happened to have another point to make that is more substantive then “bOth PaRtIeS”.

        Reduce the influence of parties by passing state level electoral reform. Replace of First-past-the-post voting, use a voting system that let’s voters transfer their vote if their first pick didn’t win. Give 3rd parties the opportunity to participate without a spoiler effect.

        You do support democracy right?

          You are correct, I should have said equating them towards the end of my point. You are also correct that the opposing side always equates both political sides as essentially the same while failing to recognise the stark differences between them. Although both sides are not perfect, it’s not a nuanced difference like it was before MAGA crazy took over.

            Hold up, let me get this straight: the people who didn’t vote for Harris caused the genocide that was already going on in Gaza, because Trump was elected. But also when Biden was president there was nothing he could have possibly done to stop the genocide that was happening in Gaza?

                Oops, guess I wasn’t supposed to ask that one.

                I voted for Biden and Harris and am one of the people being fucked over by Trump, and that’s still not enough. I have to tongue the asshole of every elected blue freak that is champing at the bit to throw people like me under the bus as soon as it’s expedient.
