Republicans and Democrats are both perfectly ok with state violence so long as it's against brown people, and preferably overseas. How many millions have died from lack of access to affordable health care and an almost non-existent social safety net in the US over the past century? But those aren't counted as ideological deaths for some reason? If you think that choosing either of the two main parties which both have an official policy of supporting foreign genocides is the lesser evil somehow, you've been duped. America has killed more people in wars in the past 20 years than nearly any other state, except perhaps for Russia. You're just bent out of shape because that state violence has been turned on the domestic population for once. Anything has got to be better than the status quo.
Spoken like a true child of privilege without any imagination - or understanding of conditions outside of your cozy status quo, ironically.
Can you stop attacking people and argue on the topic instead? Are you able to?
Tell me more about how anything is better than the status quo shitposting in the cozy West. I'm sure Palestinians are lining up to give you lot asspats for how brave you are living here and ensuring that fascists win and uncork infinite military aid for Israeli genocidaires.
Wow, I was really told, too bad I was too far up my own ass to see that a flawed and corrupt democracy was possibly better than a fucking fascist dictatorship. But Both Sides Bad, Both Sides Same, etc etc etc. Wouldn't want to have to deal with shitlibs like Bernie Sanders, now would we?
Yes both sides are pro-genocide. Bernie Sanders is a zionist pro-genocide.
Jill Stein wasn’t a pro-genocide candidate and nobody voted for her, americans wanted genocide in exchange to be treated as special.
Stop cosplaying as socialist, you are not.
Lord.
Can you even imagine a MAGA bickering like this with a conservative?
This is why they get to keep pushing their right-wing agenda forward. They don't kneecap themselves just because the current nominee doesn't pass their purity test.
My "favorite" kind of "ally":
collapsed inline media
That's... exactly the point I was making...
The Right organizes very well and unite behind the Republican candidate. The Left bickers and fractures itself.
Jill Stein is Putin's troublemaker. There are photos of her at his table.
Fuck off trunce.
Oh my god, not a troublemaker!! What a damming proof. Luckily she didn’t win, you might have a dictator now… you guys dodged a bullet. 💪

This has nothing to do with anything that I said. Please try to stay on topic and keep your strawmen in your own fields.
If you have to make up a bunch of bullshit about me to attack my position then you're not attacking my position.
