Are Democrats better than Republicans on support for Ukraine against the Russian Genocide? Liberals and labelling everything a genocide in order to cheapen the term: classic. The war in Ukraine would not have happened if it werent for the agressive postering of the democrats, so I’m gonna have to say no. Are Democrats better than Republicans on LGBTQ+ Rights? Yeah man that’s why they throw trans people and drag queens under the bus every chance they get. Thats why their response to persecution is that “they should follow the law.” That’s why their takeaway from losing the election is that they were too woke. When the republicans aren’t targeting queer people, then the democrats are. Gonna say no again. Are Democrats better on women’s rights and abortion rights. Yeah like when they codified Roe v. Wade. Or like when they did anything to stop Roe v. Wade to get overturned. Gonna give it a no. Are Democrats better on antitrust? — Yes. Talk about single-issue and then narrow the scope to this lol. The democrats are just as bad at strike breaking and being anti-union. The democrats are just as beholden to corporate interests. (See how they never affect any actual change, like with Ticketmaster.) Big old no again. Are Democrats better than Republicans on Climate Change — Yes. (Republicans backed out of Paris Climate Agreement) The famous Paris Agreement! The do-nothing treaty with no punishment for breaking it, which the democrats did nothing to uphold when they were part of it! What did they do though? Whoops thats right, massive fracking contracts, expanded military and so on and so forth. Another no. Are Democrats better at handling global pandemics? — Yes. (better science adherence; Republicans backed out of WHO). So far the main example to take would be COVID which had lockdown initiated under Trump, had Trump hand out more stimulus checks, and the lockdown was lifted by a democrat president, despite the fact the pandemic was - and is - still ongoing. Under a democrat president the public tracking of COVID was wound down until it was made accessible only with wastewater-records, which were then also made nearly impossible to access and use. Gotta say that does not seem like a government capable of handling a pandemic, gotta make it a no. Are Democrats better at not committing January 6’s? — Yes. Seems like an argument against Democrats, since you’re arguing that republicans are insane power hungry fascists looking to take complete, total, permanent power. Kinda seems like the democrats should have some sort of opposition prepared. Is ALL opposition to Palestinian genocide in government from Democrats? (Abdul, Mamdani, Bernie Sanders, Tlaib, etc.) — YES. BERNIE SANDERS? Mister “both sides”? Alright, you’ve lost the plot. In your eyes saying “Netanyahu bad” is enough. And even then this is once again a pathetic attempt at moving goal posts. Was the party committing a genocide? Yes. Is the party supporting the genocide still? Also Yes. I mean if I was Palestinian I certainly would take my choice of any Democrat over any Republican! If you were a Palestinian you would be too busy burying your family and scrounging for scraps of food to be able to give a shit about what color political party does the bombing and starving, you absolute freak. Single-issue voters are bad, even when it comes to allegations of genocide. Should have guessed from your “Russian genocide” that you were some variation of liberal zionist. NEWSFLASH ASSHOLE: YOU ARE A SINGLE-ISSUE VOTER, YOUR ISSUE IS “not Trump”. As has been painstakingly detailed, people opposing Democrats due to genocide are not single-issue, it is just the ultimate issue and even that is one Democrats cannot do basic shit on. Well, if you have a nazi, a Dem, and someone saying “BoTh SiDes!”, then you’ve got 2 nazis. On that we agree. The nazi and the dem are nazis.
