    The democrats also actively work against minorities. The difference is that you guys try to hide it, when the republicans are honest about hating people who aren’t middle-class whites.

      Are you actually claiming that Democrats are as oppressive and dangerous to minorities as Republicans? Because that’s some “enlightened centrist” bullshit.

        I’m a militant leftist, thank you. And as long as democrats are voting with republicans to increase police militarization and immunity, and to fund genocides in the middle east, I don’t wanna hear any liberal bullshit from you about how your side is better. You’re murdering too, you just like to pretend you aren’t because you want our votes.

          I see, so because they both take the same very abhorrent position on Israel, there’s no difference between them on any other important issue. Got it. Also, when my voting strategy is ‘don’t let Republicans get into office under any circumcstances,’ I’m not sure how the Democratic party is ‘my side’ except in that we have the same political end goals. Perhaps you could explain that.

            If your voting for politicians because you think they aren’t as bad as the other side, then you’re perpetuating the problem. You’re not solving anything, you’re just encouraging the democrats to continue doing absolutely nothing while in power that doesn’t benefit their corporate sponsors. That’s what people refer to as a bootlicker. But keep patting yourself on the back like you actually did something helpful. I would hate for you to have to actually confront your participation in the oppression of minorities.

              Do you think anyone other than Biden or Trump is likely to be president of the U.S. after 2024? Otherwise I’m not sure how voting for one over the other perpetuates anything. I can’t control the fact that it’s those two and no one else. That’s reality. Insulting me won’t make reality any less reality.

              And if you’d read a little bit, you’d see I’m disabled, so I am a minority that is oppressed, thank you.
