Funny, my litmus test starts at “do they support a genocide?” and then move on to things like “do they want to expand the militaristic police surveillance state?” and “are they running on being tough on immigrants?” and “do they do violent crackdowns on peaceful protesters?” and “do they protect womens rights?” and “do they protect queer people?” and “do they throw minorities and marginalised groups under the bus in order to appease right wing fanatics?” and “are they warmongers?” Funny how that is. Funny how some of us only seem to care about whether or not their team is winning, while others care about what the teams are doing. Very funny.

Well you know that is funny because I guess I’m more able to step back and look at the big picture from a rational standpoint; you know, logically looking at every single issue: Are Democrats better than Republicans on support for Ukraine against the Russian Genocide? — Yes. Are Democrats better than Republicans on LGBTQ+ Rights? — Yes. Are Democrats better on women’s rights and abortion rights — Yes. Are Democrats better on antitrust? — Yes. (See what they did to Ticketmaster and what Trump reversed). Are Democrats better than Republicans on Climate Change — Yes. (Republicans backed ou tof Are Democrats better at handling global pandemics? — Yes. (better science adherence). Are Democrats better at not committing January 6’s? — Yes. Is ALL opposition to Palestinian genocide in government from Democrats? (Abdul, Mamdani, Bernie Sanders, Tlaib, etc.) — YES. So, anyone who is not supporting Democrats over Republicans is of course enabling an objectively-worse party and President (Trump). I mean if I was Palestinian I certainly would take my choice of any Democrat over any Republican! Worse than that, they are objectively stating that they do not care about the other issues mentioned (and this is non-exhaustive).
