    Because Republicans don’t give a shit if we live or die. Democrats arnt much better but they are still better.

      Cause at least democrats tell you that you’re valid while rejecting your claims and rights, it’s just those darn rascals the republicans in the way, and if they aren’t… we have to appeal to the moderates for next cycle ofc

        I mean Democrats aren’t telling 10 year old rape victims that they have to give birth and they aren’t arresting women who have miscarriages nor are they trying to erase the lgbtq community. They also arnt letting women die while pregnant with a fetus that is just going to die a very painful death when it is born. So ya I think the dems arnt the best but they sure as fuck are 1000 times better than the other hateful turds.

          you aren’t wrong but I wish the metric we had wasn’t “does less bad things” I know they aren’t literally satan dancing on your grave playing the fiddle like the “other team” but it would be real great to have a party that actually does some good. I’m sure there are some state governments and local governments that are doing good things, but I unfortunately remain trapped in a red state where all I can see is the tire fire of republican rule and the occasional federal crop up of, we’re still committing imperialism and aren’t fighting for workers rights but at least we aren’t actively taking away women’s rights and sexual/identity protections, yet, democrats.

          The fact they aren’t actively taking away protections is great, but… do they actually do anything to improve things? No, if they don’t fight for us or make things better than they are a stop on the way down, they are hardly less bad. They are just the other side of the ball rolling down the hill.
