Let me preface this by saying I'm not a democrat, I'm against how tribalistic the two party system has become and I just dislike the two party system because of that, I am only going to focus on Republicans/Trump in this post.
So the Republican party/right is increasingly fascist and has morphed around Trump, They've been infiltrated and infested by Trump in a cult of personality type deal. 2016 Trump was like an outsider/independent running as a republican, A lot of what he was saying didn't even allign to what the right was going for at the time. During his presidency the republican party changed drastically, they became complete f***ing ass kissers to him or they get outed and ostracized.
At this point the republicans are basically the Trump party
F***ing Mike Pence, his own vice president won't endorse him.
S*** is wild, like when it comes to Trump I genuinely am scared of him getting a second term, his rhetoric and the absolute frenzy, obsession and idolization around him, the victim complex, the lies and spinning truths blatantly to create a false narrative. It's not good and it's insane to me that he is even allowed to be running for President again. The so called Leader of the Free World. It's a god damn clown show. The nigga should be in jail.
Idk s*** just to me smells awfully fishy, Dude is leaning into fascism and creating a cult around him. If he's elected, I'mma be real disappointed with the US and it puts an egotistical narc in power again. S*** kinda sucks broski.
Tldr; Throw that nigga Trump in jail and get Joe Biden the care he needs at a nursing home, US Politics are performatory bullshit
But a nigga bout to go get a morning 40 oz and play some video games so peace, love and freedom

if youre native, black, latino, or asian the USA has always been "fascist". the foundation of the country was the dispossession of native land coupled with the slave labor of afrikan hostages, often considered the worst combined genocide in world history. Mumia Abu-Jamal been in prison for 55 years for a crime he never committed. 300000 people incinerated by atom bombs. fascist tinpot dictatorships are upheld worldwide by american troops. even the things american liberals love to gush about as being "progress" like FDR's New Deal were explicitly racist and helped reinforce segregation.
Wish I was in the bronx today ik ppl are sick of dems out there
Cant walk 5 steps w/o seeing a needle on the ground in the bronx now ppl are over it.
@op loves career politicians d*** in his mouth, got c***dripping down his lips and s*** damn.
I’m more scared about the average Trump supporter these days than I am of the actual man and his policies
Nah the fascism is already here under Biden
The same police that cracked down on BLM protesters during 2020 under Trump are now turning to do the same to student protestors over a occupation and genocide that has bipartisan support with Dems in Exec
Without any fundamental change in how we organize our economy and distribute wealth our political system will inevitably fall into crises that the bourgeoisie only seek to resolve on the basis of stabilizing capital’s hegemony, not any care for its constituents
Yes. I am trans and I am concerned that there will be an effort to remove my access to health care and maybe even criminalize my existence.
frankly I find the both-sides types to be the most frustrating people. don't even get me started on not voting for Biden out of protest for Gaza

trans people make up a disproportionate amount of the US prison population, your existence is already "criminalized"
also why does your life matter more than a palestinian child?

Trump ain’t gonna be better for the Palestinians. In fact, he’s gonna be worse.

I'm palestinian-lebanese. their is no "worse". palestinians are already a stateless dispossessed people on the verge of total starvation. nobody is forcing you to vote for either of these white supremacists.

I am a US citizen, for one, so it's not that my life matters more but that I am more concerned for domestic policies which could affect me than I am with foreign policies that do not affect me. Obviously I am against the genocide in Gaza, but not to the extent that I will literally vote or not-vote against my own self-interest
and idk wtf kind of point you were even trying to make with the prison comment. kinda reeks of transphobia but I'm gonna let it pass without reporting. I think you know what I was actually saying and are just being deliberately obtuse at best.
im a bit confused tho, cus trump did a few things for the black community, like idk whos worse trump or biden

your first paragraph is the textbook definition of xenophobia, you literally just admitted that you value "American" lives more than the 7 billion other people on earth. this is exactly the sort of "common sense" racism I'm talking about, the fact that you dont even see it as racism is extremely telling.

lol what in the world? how the f*** is it xenophobic to say that when it comes to MY VOTE, I am going to value MY OWN life and welfare??? you are insane
"I an against genocide, but what about me? have we considered me?"
like seriously you need to reevaluate your life

"your vote" affects other people besides yourself you racist moron
"I an against genocide, but what about me? have we considered me?"

you outing yourself as Zionist white supremacist scum to the mods will backfire but ok

just quote me next time
It is true the Republicans are using more openly reactionary rhetoric and your fears are valid as a trans person
But you need to temper the legitimate fear with realism. A common Democrat tactic after Oct 7 was to bring up the inevitable genocide and discrimination LGBTQ people will face in his re-election, specifically trans. Trans people are a marginalized group but the idea of trans people being criminalized and rounded up writ large is a scare tactic to vote for a Biden rather than meaningful change in health care policy at the federal level
The likely outcome with be Democrats continue to be used as a “lever” against Red states while they slowly shift to the right to not appear “too woke” as they do on every social issue the past 20 years. As they have for Gay people, black people. Just 4 years ago they promised black people true change and all we got on paper was increased police budgets.
Marginalized groups of any stripe will continue to fight for better conditions as long as a state that operates on profit, long when me and you grow old. This isn’t the election to end all, it wasn’t in 2020 nor in 2016 like Democrats. They want to use you as tokens to secure another vote at the ballot box just to not take action because they don’t want to appear “too leftist” to suburban white voters that may vote Blue.
The situation is bleak and realistically it may get worse for a bunch of groups before it gets better. But the Democrats being in office isn’t “fixing” it, and I know you’re gonna say I’m “both siding” it, and I’m not. There are differences between the two parties but neither will magically resolve your fears.
There are trans socialists and communists who oppose Biden and stand in solidarity with Gaza, im not gonna go in on that comment but your identity doesn’t shield you from being worth more than the next person, regardless of how hard it is to see how connected your government is to their suffering, and how little you care
Peace
you outing yourself as Zionist white supremacist scum to the mods will backfire but ok
I literally said I'm against the genocide in Gaza but I'm voting for Biden bc I'm a minority who would be affected by a Trump presidency. how you got "Zionist" from that is beyond me but clearly you're an unhinged lunatic so I guess it shouldn't be that surprising
