If you only vote for candidates that excite you, you forfeit any and all electoral influence.

"electoral influence" to choose what billionaires will continue to fund a 1 trillion dollar military and the brutal repression of the citizenry? wow. thats certainly too bad.

[-] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago

Yes, exactly. One major party generally keeps their brutal oppression overseas, the other increases overseas oppression and also turns the trillion dollar military against the citizenry. One of those two options is objectively worse, and we have the electoral influence to obstruct the worse option.

They’re not objectively worse to those of us outside of America.

If anything having your military directed inwards is a blessing for the world as it saves us from you for a period.

It doesn't though, the military is still directed outward too, generally moreso. Yes, they're objectively worse all around.

Ah yes, the Dems who definitely did not deport more people then the republicans and have been singing the song of "build the wall" since the 2000s? The "Secure Fence Act"? The dems who have always funded the police and increased their militarization. Those dems, who don't "turn the military against the citizenry?"

the other increases overseas oppression

Really? Obama didn't increase our engagement in Afghanistan? Didn't bomb weddings? Biden didn't commit a Genocide? Obama didn't intervene in Libya? I don't know what Dems you're talking about, but the ones I know commit crimes, overseas and domestic.
