      Like you’re trying to convince us the far right and foreign boogiemen are the same?

      This is your brain on nationalism.

      You don’t see democracy and human rights as universal principles, just privileges enjoyed on the backs of the oppressed.

      We’re directly arming over 80% of the world’s dictatorships, and that did NOT start with Trump.

      We’re not complicit in genocide. We’re participant to genocide .

      America will never be a democracy until it respects democracy and human rights universally.

      Give me a candidate who does that and I’ll vote for them. Otherwise, the best option for everyone is to let America fail. 👍

      Democrats are seemingly willfully participating in the deconstruction of democracy 🤷

      They are both explicitly imperialistic, and abhorrently corrupt.

      Oh yes, sure blame russia and the far right so you can ignore the structural issue that led to the rise of trump in the first place 🥰 You’re the one saying there is no point in voting, not me - not the meme.

      You’re not immune to propaganda, neither am I. But if your gut reaction to seeing this is “æ russian propaganda” then you’ve been fooled by propaganda ☺️

      Republicans are actively genociding trans people. Democrats aren’t.

      Yeah. Them passively genocoding trans people is much better.

      Republicans are actively dismantling democracy. Democrats aren’t

      As long as you only pay attention to their rhetoric on the national stage and ignore all the finagling they do to keep any genuine opposition off the ballot, or their actual records in office, then sure.

      Are they perfect? Fuck no. US foreign policy sucks and is complicit in worldwide genocide, especially in Palestine, on both sides. But one side wants to destroy the US. The other doesn’t.

      Destroying the US would be a good thing, but neither half of the uniparty wants to do that. One wants to loudly, brashly, and rudely enforce the will of Wall St Oligarchs, and the other wants to politely and civilly enforce the will of Wall St Oligarchs.

      The only way to actually believe that Democrats are better, as opposed to just different, is to not consider anyone outside the US and Europe human, and to not know anything about what’s happening inside the US except what’s spoon fed to you by billionaire-owned media.
