    the complete full-pedal commitment towards killing local minorities characteristic of the Republican Party

    My city of Houston has had Democrats at national and local governments all firmly committed to dumping as much money and manpower as possible into the Republican-controlled police forces inflicting these harms upon their constituents. The current mayor is entirely in bed with the GOP police establishment. His singular claim to fame during his legislative tenure was stripping death row victims of their last meals. “Ah, but Trump will be worse” constantly overlooks the persistent harms inflicted by compliant Democrats.

    Do not vote for the bad cop, please.

    I can’t vote for the “good” cop either. They’re both working to the same effect.

      Which I never advocated for. Are you trying to vote-shame me into voting for Trump instead of Uncommited?

      Otherwise I agree the Democrats are also ridiculously ghoulish. They have to be as a neoliberal billionaire ghoul party. They only barely count as the “good cop” because they’re not actively TRYING to overturn stuff like Roe v Wade (of course, they are very conveniently letting it happen anyways) . And of course they’re still doing all of the horrific shit that’s neccessary to maintain a fascist neoliberal state built on the back of racial segregation and murder.

          That’s unhinged as fuck. Trump is not actually better than Biden. They’re both terrible candidates in every way.

          If this is trying to dunk on me because you think I’m a bad-faith lib arguing to ‘vote blue no matter who’ (no, I think those libs are just as annoying as you do), please understand that I literally cannot understand sarcasm over the internet.

          There are more than two choices here. You don’t have to vote for the red genocidal maniac over the blue genocidal maniac.
