      The Democratic Party is at best center-right but with their enablement of genocide and crack down on protesters they are probably just as fascist as Republicans.

        Republicans however also: deport people with a legal right to be in the country, including citizens, without due process. Want to destroy all progress made on issues affecting the LGBTQ+ community. Wish to reduce women’s rights, some including voting rights. Want to abolish the separation between church and state.

        Even if there is a close resemblance between the two parties on Gaza, but there are plenty of other issues where they are still incomparable, and ignoring these differences and calling both parties equally bad does not help.

        I can’t agree with this. Both of the parties are pretty evil, and I am pretty strongly against the Democratic party, but I can’t agree that they are just as fascist. Sure, the Democrats helped build out the tools for fascism, and they don’t really put up a fight against the fascists, but there is a difference, however small it might be.

        continuing to claim this in the face of what’s currently occurring in the US is not simply naive, it’s downright idiotic

        Don’t get me wrong the democratic party is shit, but I don’t recall paramilitary thugs dragging people off the streets and disappearing them under Biden or Obama.

          The Republican Party has always been worse, but it shouldn’t be the yardstick we judge the Democratic Party by. Otherwise the worse the Republican Party gets overtime the worse the Democratic Party will get too, since the only requirement will be for them to be better than the Republicans and not to be actually good.

            I dont disagree with that, but you said “probably just as fascist as republicans” which is obviously not true as, again, only one party is using paramilitary violence to target unwanted groups and political opponents.

      And the voters who support Palestine sure did a good job keeping the worst of two options out.

      Ohhh well, at this rate the Palestinian question, likely won’t be an issue next election.
