    I do, yes.

    The only material difference between the two would be the speeches and packaging. (And the Dems would give us a heaping helping of excuses as to why they can’t do anything they promised.)

    For 99% of us, the results would be the same: abject and increasing impoverishment.

      You are a misinformed idiot if you think a progressive like Kamala would do the same insane shit as the deranged narcissist you got running the white house.

      Giving ICE 90 billion, calling for the execution of congress members, pardoning ally the insurrectionists, kidnapping Maduro, invading Iran without any plan or objective, Tariffing the entire world. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

      What did Biden do, that comes even close?

        What did Biden do, that comes even close?

        He mocked George Floyd’s death during a State of the Union speech, and I quote: “Don’t defund the police. Fund them.” He, like Obama, pushed for more police militarization in full knowledge of what the US justice system does to minorities and the poor.

        Invading Iran without any plan or objective plan

        Iraq and Afghanistan lasted 20 years across two Democratic presidencies, but sure, now we care about war plans.

        Giving ICE 90 Million

        Can’t claim to be a progressive and play the ICE card. The Democrats have been perfectly content to allow ICE and CBP, and the cops, to brutalize people for decades, and they’ve also caged kids. Also, just for funsies, go look up the president that first appointed Tom Homan. They were and are solidly authoritarian.

        calling for the execution of congress members

        Obama literally killed American citizens in a drone strike.

        kidnapping Maduro

        Extraordinary renditions, ie kidnappings, have been happening for two decades across two Democratic presidencies. Even more fun, we learned about black sites in Europe and Chicago while Democratic presidents were in power.

        I know you really, really want to believe you’re better than they are for pulling the blue lever… but you’re not. You kind of just pretend to be against all the stuff you’ve made excuses for when the blue team does it for the past 40 years.

        The only real difference is packaging and presentation.

          Fund the police

          Bodycams, training, accountability and better personell cost more. Defund the police was always a dumb slogan.

          Iraq and Afghanistan

          Which party president started both of these and which party president pulled out?

          ICE

          The democrats basically just shut down the DSA to force republicans to not fund ICE and CBP. So not even close to the Gestapo trump is building.

          Obama killed US citizen

          True, not good, but not even close to the war crimes Trump is committing in Venezuela and Iran. Also ICE killed 2 citizens.

          I haven’t heard anything about black sites or kidnappings after Obama got elected.

          I know you don’t feel the consequences of your votes, but the rest of the world does. The trolley problem is simple and you failed it.
