Obviously there is a difference, but let’s be honest, if the only choices are “we hit the wall with 50 mph” or “we hit the wall with 65 mph”, I think we can agree that it’s not very interesting to vote, when in reality you’d prefer to not hit the wall.
If Democrats had a majority in both chambers of Congress, or even just one, I guarantee you things wouldn’t be as bad as they are now.
There’s a critique to be made about spineless, milquetoast, neoliberal leadership in the Democratic party passively allowing the Republicans to do whatever they want, but equating that with the Republicans themselves and focusing to an inordinate degree on the failures of Democratic leadership is only helping Republicans who are the actual fascists in this situation.
You want change from within the Democratic Party? Good, get involved with the midterms. You just want to see the Democrats fail? Enjoy the authoritarian theocracy that Republicans implement, because you’ll have the day you voted for.
Democrats are liberals who preserve the exploitative imperial system that leads to fascism. They are controlled opposition, existing to give us the illusion of choice. They will never give us meaningful change unless they are replaced by socialists. This is why Obama’s ICE was raping women, why Biden helped commit genocide in gaza. Liberals and fascists are codependant
You’re also forgetting that Democrats chose to not arrest Trump for known pedophilia, which likely would’ve caused enough infighting on the right to secure a win, but nah they just let him pass jail straight to Go.
You apparently can’t distinguish between “a trifecta majority party unanimously and actively imposing fascism” and “a minority party passively allowing the majority party to impose fascism by having a handful of members supporting the fascists” and it shows.
Go ahead and let the Republicans win more elections because you feel like the Democrats aren’t doing enough to stop Republicans from being fascist.
And when Democrats can’t do anything about it because they’re neutered by their minority in every branch of government, keep blaming them for not doing enough to stop the atrocities the Republicans are actively committing.
It’s really funny that you’re brushing off the one thing democrats had in their hands: blocking the budget. Yes, they are a slight minority, but to pass a budget the republicans don’t have the needed majority.
Now of course you argue that it’s a minority of democrats that collaborated, but I think it’s pretty telling that all of them are not up for the next election, and I suspect that they were chosen to be the ones taking the fall by the party.
Also fun fact, I will not let anybody win or lose, because I am not a citizen of the US of A.
And finally, the fact that you’re choosing to resort to ad hominem really shows who the real dumbass is.
You don’t have a monopoly on “truth,” and I’m not going to waste my time arguing with someone who’s so out of touch with reality. Maybe in a different era, but this is 2026.
I don’t care if you change what you think, you can continue being confidently wrong. And when you help Republicans maintain their hold on power, you will be partially responsible.
Sure, tell me you think I’m a kid. What I think is childish is letting some ideological purism get in the way of political pragmatism.
I’m not sure you grasp what the word “full” means.
What you’re seeing NOW is full support. NOW we have a guy that’s giving two big thumbs up and talking about turning Gaza into a resort after the Palestinians are all dead or removed.
What you saw with Biden was someone trying to broker a peace deal, openly stating on live TV that he didn’t agree with Israel’s methods, and floating arms shipment cancellations to try to bring Netanyahu to the table.
What you saw with Biden was someone trying to broker a peace deal
By allowing Isreal to end it every time and not putting a foot doen
openly stating on live TV that he didn’t agree with Israel’s methods
And then allowing them to simply continue
and floating arms shipment cancellations to try to bring Netanyahu to the table
But never doing it
My definition of full support of Isreal is letting them continue killing children while continuing to fund them. What you’re seeing now is Trump trying to get a slice of the pie instead of just letting Isreal eat it herself.
“Made some effort” lol. No, they were giving you lipservice. Biden had plenty of oppurtunities to stop it but didn’t, and you want to act like that was effort. After your comment, I was going to say that the US is givng as much in 2025 as 2024, but I found something even more wild: US funding dropped from 2024 to 2025 (chart 2), lower than any year under Biden.
“I only supported some Nazis” = “I supported Nazis.”
She said she was going to keep doing what Biden was doing, which was full support of Isreal, I had no reason to doubt her.
And you said there’s no difference in the two. I have no reason to doubt you did that for the usual reason a person does that.
You’re right, I did say that
R/conservative would love you

It’s more than that. It’s:
Hit the wall at 50
Or
Hit the wall at 65 and then all the nazis get out of the car and beat any survivors to death.
You’re right. Both sides ARE the same 😒
First of all, you’re
Then I’d recommend you to read my reply again, because the very first sentence starts with “Obviously there is a difference”
These lesser fascists can’t cope with the fact that greater fascists existing doesn’t stop them from being fascists.

This is in km/h not mp/h but there seems to be a dramatic difference
The difference between 80 kph and 100 kph is minor, but again, of course it’s better to be a bit slower.
But why should we choose between fast and faster, when the only sane option would be stop?
You’re right but not voting is not a vote to stop.
True, but hopefully it was understood as a vote for “we can’t continue like that” by the people in power of the democratic party.
Especially after having seen Mamdani win New York, I do really hope that more progressives will be up on the ballots. We shall see.
You must be so glad now with Trump in office. Happy for you.
If you helped trump get elected, then you support nazis.
I think that’s what they’re saying, the democrats support nazis
Republicans are Nazis.
If Democrats had a majority in both chambers of Congress, or even just one, I guarantee you things wouldn’t be as bad as they are now.

So what about when they had a majority, after the last phase of constantly attacking Palestine, did they cut funding down to W Bushes level then, or did they continue funding them at roughly the same level?
You’re also forgetting that Democrats chose to not arrest Trump for known pedophilia, which likely would’ve caused enough infighting on the right to secure a win, but nah they just let him pass jail straight to Go.
Remind me again, which party helped the Fascists finance ICE? and Which party was increasing the budget for ICE in the past ~20 years.

Enjoy those downvotes.
Brother I don’t care about down votes. If you can’t handle the truth and prefer to slam me with down votes instead of returning arguments, feel free.
But know that it will not change how I think, and it will probably not change anything about what the status quo is.
All it does is making you look like a kid, because you behave like one

Comments like yours are dangerous misinformation.

Literally nothing you just typed changes that Palestine is worse off with Republicans at the helm than with Democrats at the helm.
You tried equating a party that made some effort with a party that not only made no effort but gleefully advocated for Israel.
Congrats.
