  • The Democrats are far less evil than Republicans.

    You keep saying that but you never provide any evidence that they are. You just take it on blind faith that they are and speak like it’s an obvious and unquestionable fact when it isn’t. Pretty much every single messed up the Republicans did, from kinds in cages and the wall to war, the Democrats have most often followed right in their footsteps and pilled on.

    How are they “far less evil” exactly? According to who? To what?

    You need a new government, wholesale, and I’ve said as much.

    That’s the only point on which we agree.

    But if you are going to pick the lesser of two evils, you ha e failed greatly at that task. You picked the most evil of all evils, and you are paying the price, as are the Palestinians.

    Again, this is contingent on your blind faith belief that there is a lesser evil of the two, with which I do not agree.

    From before the previous elections, I’ve been of the opinion that Trump wouldn’t be able to do worse to the Palestinian than the Democrats did even if he wanted to for the simple reason that the Democrats were already doing the worst that America could afford to do under the current circumstances.

    And I’ve been vindicated in that belief, because like it or not, the fact is that the Republicans haven’t done anything to Gaza that the Democrats weren’t already doing or weren’t planning to do. Even the Trump real estate in Gaza bullshit isn’t fundamentally different from what was already planned to be done with the region under the Democrats.

    Point is, your narrative that the Democrats did the the Palestinian genocide “less hard” than the Republicans would is objectively false. They have demonstrated themselves to be rabid Zionists and it is extremely naive to believe they wouldn’t do the genocide as hard as they possibly can.

    Again, you can’t just claim that they are less evil, you have to show that they are. You haven’t, and you never do.

    Who is deflecting? You won’t admit the Republicans are more in the wrong. You just point out shit Dems do as if the other party isn’t doing it ten times harder.

    Where’s the “ten times” comes from Alex? Can you explain that to me? By what metric are they doing these things “ten times harder” Alex?

    Again, same thing I keep pointing out in this comment. You keep saying but you never show. You never propose examples. Why? Because you don’t know that the Dems are the lesser evil, you just believe it. That’s why I keep saying that you’re taking it on blind faith, because you are.


  • Not only are you trying to deflect criticism but you are doing so with a straw-man, pathetic.

    The point isn’t any illusion that the Reps aren’t doing those things, the point is that the fact the Dems are doing the same thing shows that they aren’t any better or any less evil than the Reps.


  • Actually, they were very much planning on and doing mass murders in the streets and abductions to black sites, they just were doing it 1000s of kms away in Palestine instead of doing it at home.

    Genocide and mass murder in the streets are Genocide and mass murder in the streets even when they’re not happening at home, the fact that you think who it’s being done to makes one instance “less evil” than the other is just chauvinism and white supremacy.

    democratic lawmakers are demanding ICE reform.

    Aka they are okay with violent forced deportations as long as it’s done ✨ legaly ✨.

    Why do you assume the Democrats wouldn’t build concentration camps as well btw? No, because last I checked, the Dems didn’t do shit about kids in cages, forced prison labor or the US’s torture prisons like Guantanamo and gave more budget than Trump to the Trump border wall not to mention their support and funding of literal concentration camps in Israel. Does that sound like the actions of a party that wouldn’t build concentration in the US to you? Because it sure as heck doesn’t to me.

    In my opinion, if the Dems had been elected they would have done it and justified it with their classic pr technique of letting the Reps vote whatever they want in congress while they stand by and pretend like they couldn’t do anything about it despite their candidate being in office and go “well, the law is in the book now so we have to play along” like they did with Roe v Wade.

    “LiFe iS fUll Of chOOsIng tHe lEsSer oF twO eVilS.”

    Do you have any actual arguments or just instant noodle armchair truisms?

    “Lesser evils” are only worth choosing if the difference between the 2 evils is big enough to have an impact. In this case it isn’t, both parties are genocidal gangs with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. The only difference between the 2 is what they say when they know the public can hear them (and even then their rhetoric is getting more and more similar) and what the corporate owned media says about them, but in practice, when it comes to quality of life, repression, violence, wages, legislation, etc… aka metrics that actually matters, there is virtually no difference between the 2.

    It’s so funny how even in analogies you’re reduced to splitting hair and grasping at straws desperately trying to find any meaningful difference between the Dems and Reps that isn’t easily debunk-able because as the Dems go increasingly mask-off you have less and less to work with to make your “vote blue no matter who” spiel.

    Like, you do realize how utterly negligible a difference what you just said “adds” to the metaphor right?
