No, not the same. Any Democrat will make things even worse than they are now. The speed of worsening will just be slower than under Trump. Vote for them if you want, sure, but don't lie to people. False hope in the Democrats is what really kills any hope for the revolutionary change that is so badly needed and that is the only thing that can save us (I mean the whole world, not just the US).
the demands of the public and candidates of quality with people behind them is what creates change. Burnie changed the DNCs policy commitments, even if he couldn't produce enough votes to be the candidate, he effected change, and that only happens when people are politically engaged and dousing people's desire for change or anger about abuse doesn't effect change.
"False hope in the Democrats is what really kills any hope for the revolutionary change"
thats like, your opinion. meanwhile people are being killed and countries taken over.
edit - the downvotes are just evidence of what im complaining about. we're so boned if we think that everythings the same and we should just let the gop ruin the planet
Their point is that those things happen under Democrats too, like Obama destroying Libya and authorizing bombing civilians in countries the US wasn't at war with, or Biden supporting the extermination of Palestinians, not to mention the hundreds of thousands killed by sanctions they supported. The US being evil abroad is bipartisan.
its just so frustrating to hear my peers saying that feckless ineffective attempts to stop doom is the same as full throated doom. makes me feel crazy that more of my comrades dont discuss or abide by a harm reduction approach. we cant let perfection be the enemy of our own goals.
edit - downvoters are welcome to go ahead and provide any sort of logic that conflicts with what ive said.
I understand, I'm not against harm reduction personally but we can only stop this if we go beyond voting
id rather you be for it than just "not against" it. ;)
anyway, glad we understand each other
