      One will erode vulnerable people’s safety faster than the other. To not vote for reduced risk for vulnerable people is callous privilege.

        you mean the us-mexico border camps arent currently eroding vulnerable peoples safety? that war in gaza? all the destruction the us is always sponsoring around the world…

        its rightully horrible when trump does this kind of thing but lets pretend its all good now and it isnt happening under our guy.

            refer to your last comment on this chain.

            are mexicans or gazans not vulnerable people your current administration is ruining the lives of? the ones you imply to care about?

              They absolutely are. And Biden is failing many topics, but trump would be worse.

              Which is why i said “faster”.

              Fuck off with the assumptions and loaded replies. It’s all trump apologetics with yall

                what you wanted empty replies just agreeing with this absurd notion choosing evil is democratic somehow? so minorities are important but making the problem worse is somehow not worthy of criticism this time?

                i doubt trump would be that much worse because we’ve seen him be about the same, except he was loud about it. no actual democracy would ever let him run again, yet here we are.

                fascism is not stopping at the press of a button, or just because its perpetrator isnt being loud about it.

      American democracy is a mess and one party is still MASSIVELY FUCKING WORSE.

      A dilemma between continued late-capitalist problems and open fascist dictatorship still has a right answer!

        so called*

        if you go back to see what was done, its functionally the same. the discourse is less harmful, i can give you no more than that.

        i say this as someone who just elected my own ““left”” wing president, still mostly the same bullshit, but under a veil.

        you can go vote for the lesser evil (still evil) like i did but at the end of the day only organized public pressure will reverse the direction we are barreling towards. thats regardless of the figurehead currently in power, until they normalize more violence.
