While you are correct, voting for democrats is not because we love them and love everything they do. We vote democrat because we need to keep the batshit insane far right out of power.

If we don't or if we vote far right, a lot MORE people will suffer and die. That does not mean we agree or like or approve that people suffer and die under democrat rule.

Under biden people were deported and put in camps. But under trump they are put in concentration camps in a foreign country where they will most likely not leave alive.

Either we get shot in the leg (democrats) and we fight and do everything we can to help others. or we get shot in the head (republican/far right) and we can't do anything to help others because we are either dead or in a concentration camp in el salvador.

Nah, no one is going to convince me the Dems care about the rights of women while they support Israel starving and dropping bombs on unarmed women and children. Don't tell me they care about the rights of people of color, but just not the ones they are spending billions of dollars to mass murder in Palestine. There are no such things as halfway fascists. You either support genocide or you don't, and the Dems support it, just like the MAGAs do. They only care about the rights of their corporate overlords like Musk and Bill Gates. The USA has been funding concentration camps overseas for decades. All of Palestine is a concentration camp and everything happening there is because of the USA funding it and preventing the UN from sanctioning Israel. Both parties are in lockstep for this.

Sounds like making excuses to vote for Democrats. Falling for the propaganda and gaslighting. Voting may still work to change the system but not if people keep voting for controlled opposition. We need a real left-wing movement and political party and the Dems are bought by the same fascist billionaires who own the GOP.
