    That’s what I thought the first time as well. It turns out that who you want to win means fuck all in real life. It’s a bit like saying “I don’t want my arm to be broken” when you fall on it. I’m sure you don’t, but if you care about how it heals you’ll go to the hospital and get a cast put on it, even if it’s uncomfortable.

    And to me, it’s easy to figure out who I agree with least. One of them actively wants LGBT folks dead, and the other one doesn’t actively want that. Everything else could be exactly the same and it would still be braindead easy to figure out.

      they’re not the same with one exception tho. they’re both deeply bad In similar and unique ways. neither is acceptable.

          they want to restrict guns to government thugs. they lie about supporting unions, stabbing the working class in the back.

            Better than republicans who were the first ones doing gun control because black people had guns, and who are openly hostile to unions and the working class, and treat them even worse.

      I wouldn’t count on the Democrats to keep genocidal maniacs from your doorstep. better to get a gun and join a local resistance movement.

      if it means so much to you, I live in a swing state. the state penalty for selling my vote is $5k. that’s the federal fine, too. put another 10k on top for my troubles and I’ll vote any way you like.
