    Let’s be honest here, both parties are full of shit. During Biden term 3500 students had their visa revoked due to anti Zionist protests, let alone canary mission bullshit.

    And do not forget about insider trading and that both parties are funded by private companies

        He didn’t say anything about exactly the same, just that they both suck. Dems want to shoot you with .22 caliber rounds in the extremities cause it’s not lethal, while the Trumptards want to shoot off your arms with explosive .50 cal to get the “necessary amputation” done quick. One of those is 100% objectively worse, but some people would ideally like an option that doesn’t involve getting shot at all. Pointing out that getting shot sucks regardless of who is pulling the trigger shouldn’t be all that controversial.

          The problem with your analogy is the third choice wasn’t don’t get shot. We had three choices.

          1. Choose to get shot in the arm with a .22
          2. Choose to get shot in the arm with a .50
          3. Do nothing and get shot in the arm with a .50

          This wasn’t the trolley car problem. Simple game theory can be applied.

          I agree the Dems need to do better but Trump is objectively worse in every way. Forget his political views, he’s just a garbage human being. He’s everything that’s bad about humanity, or at least of capitalism, and it saddens me that 60% of my fellow Americans are just cool with that.

        Being an open Nazi party vs. “only” openly supporting Nazis doesn’t really make the choice much easier.

        Obviously Dems would have been somewhat better, but I really can’t blame anyone with a conscience for voting third-party or not at all when both main parties are fucking horrible.
