We can’t ever know if dems would’ve been much better because we lost that chance,
The democrats ran on a year+ of genocide, I have no confidence that they would suddenly have a change of heart afterwards.
The democrats in my state do in fact pass some protections, but do basically nothing about the fundamental economic and housing inequalities that make it almost impossible for red state trans people to safely relocate there. If you’re someone who can hustle enough to afford to live here it’s relatively safe, but despite all that we still have plenty of right wing democrats triangulating over things like womens sports.
Also Democrats have had their share of military interventions, and countries they destroyed. Their whole issue with Iraq at the time wasn’t that the invasion was wrong, but that they would run it better. The genocidal warmongering is established bipartisan consensus.
Well, yeah, obviously I would prefer that, too. But we don’t live in that country.
And maybe, but one of the two is definitely more “blow up the entire middle east, fuck all of them, turn it to glass” than the other, which is my point.
They are, and if I was in a position where my vote could actually influence things I would probably vote for democrats over that, but that’s not the country I live in either.

And republicans have run on decades+ of warmongering and genocide. Invading other countries directly.
I know which one I prefer.
I would prefer they both lose, tbh.
