    Nah, it’s just a modicum of critical thinking. “Would I rather have things stay the same, or maybe get slightly worse; or have things rocket to the bottom as fast as possible?”

    To say the Democratic party is just as bad as the Republican party is so incredibly stupid. Like, look at the track record of the two and tell me that the dems have caused as much damage as the Republicans, or that on a global scale right-wing politics has brought about more positivity than left-wing politics.

    I also don’t see how it makes any sense to think “eh, things won’t get better under any party, so I might as well vote for the worst. Surely this will bring about the changes I want!”. Once again, we all die eventually so I guess we should just be aborting fetuses and staging mass suicide since I guess that’s the same thing in the end and the path to get there seemingly doesn’t matter.

    I don’t think Kamala would have made things better than they were, but I don’t think anybody would. But I so think she would have made things significantly better than they are right now under Trump… But all those people trying to say “tHeYrE bOtH the SaMe” got what they wanted, and hopefully they’re enjoying what they’re getting. I certainly don’t think they’re anywhere near the same.

        Well, creating posts and content that suggest both side is only going to throw more people into the uneducated/uninformed bucket.

            The problem is the massive gap between the two. Once again, advocating murder and mass suicide because “we all die eventually”

            I’d much sooner advocate just living as much of a full life as you can, and doing what can be done to fight back.
