        Genocide is by far one of the worst crimes against humanity. If someone supports genocide they are morally corrupt to the core. They don’t care if you live or die. They will sell you out the moment it gives them a personal advantage. What kind of democracy forces it’s citizens to choose between two such people?

        Americans generally don’t support genocide nor do they want a leader who would treat them like chess pieces. Unfortunately, the American electoral system is incapable of reflecting popular sentiment. If it can’t do that, then it’s not a real democracy. Change can only come to the US if people learn to wield their collective power in ways that don’t depend on the elections. Barring that, Americans are fucked regardless of who they vote for.

          “Change can only come to the US if people learn to wield their collective power in ways that don’t depend on the elections.”

          No, change can only come if people repent of their political and religious idolatry and abandon their factional and sectarian creedos and turn to God the Father through his Son Jesus Christ. The nations are failing because the nations have abandoned the truth of God for humanist and sectarian lies, which are their idols. Man is worshiping himself, money, and power, which are the main idols causing all the madness. Madness is a spiritual condition, not an electoral one.

          Everything else is worldly-wise mind-poison.

          And what about gay, queer, or trans people? Have they not died enough? Because there absolutely is a difference between the parties for them.

            Why, if the majority of Americans are against genocide, does democratic leadership support genocide? If they don’t think Palestinian lives matter why would they think gay, queer, and trans lives matter either? Vote for democrats all you want. I don’t care. Just don’t be so self righteous to think your vote meaningfully protects marginalized people.

              Your speculation doesn’t match the observed history, though. Even if you don’t agree that Democrats have made progress in recent years for labor and gay rights, at least they haven’t actively rolled them back like Republicans. Police were out of control, but people weren’t disappearing at scale into black sites and being shuffled around to prevent any legal recourse.

        Sure, but if you care about slowing the America’s descent into fascism, voting should not be your primary focus.

      Well at least we ended up with the felon rapist pedophile fraud who threatens to wipe civilizations from the face of the Earth while robbing us blind instead of the flawed but highly educated black woman with no criminal record.

      We really dodged a bullet, right?
