    What we need to do is get rid of FPTP, because so long as that’s how the system works breaking away will only guarantee that the fascists win permanently.

        I think the sad fact is many people in the US are okay with financing genocide as long as they don’t have to hear Trump’s name or suffer any consequences personally. As long as some kind of right wing boogeymany exists, you can convince most democratic voters that genocide is permissable enough to not disqualify a candidate.

        Do you prefer

        1. Genocide, drone strikes, mass deportations, legal abortion, Supreme Court judges who aren’t having massive ethics scandals, regulations, etc

        or

        1. Genocide, drone strikes, mass deportation, abortion bans, Supreme Court judges with giant ethics scandals, deregulation, tax cuts for billionaires, etc?

        Both parties are similarly shitty on some things, but are pretty different on other issues. Are you really indifferent to all the issues they differ on?

          When faced with two options that are both genocide why buy into a false dicthomy, also need I remind you abortion became a states right issue (something biden could have prevented) under bidens presidency?

          The stupidest move is to play.

          You’re oversimplifying.

          Under Trump, Democrats would oppose genocide. I guarantee if Trump was president the Democrats would be fighting against him.

          Under Biden, even Bernie is falling in line. It’s disgusting.
