I never implied trump was better, he's the exact same type politician.
You think he's exactly the same then? Even with the level that ICE is taking people off the streets now, the blatant corruption, the giving in to Russia, the war on Venezuela? The childish insulting of the US's allies? The moronic tariffs? The appointment of complete idiots to high posts?
And if you can actually see that trump is way worse than any democrat leader (even the bad ones), then not voting democrat contributed to electing trump. So you must see that not voting democrat was stupid, and it makes you responsible for all the crap that trump is doing.
The only difference is liberals are busy at brunch when a Democrat is in office and they don't pay attention to what's going on. Who gave ICE the largest increase of federal funding they've ever received and expanded detention center construction? Who oversaw the largest increase of homeless? Who had the power to stop a genocide in Gaza and did nothing but deny a genocide was occurring? Democrats overall support Trump's actions they just don't like how they are being carried out, they prefer their fascism covert.
Ok. If you prefer Trump, that's up to you, I guess.
It's the DNC that prefers trump, he allows them to keep shifting to the right while voters accept it without question. 2010 Democrats could never imagine aligning with someone like Dick Cheney, but 2024 democrats did without question. Your party is officially first term trump Republicans
some of the dnc, maybe.
But no - you were the one saying trump is better - you made your choice, take responsibility for your own voting actions - stop blaming others.
I didn't say trump was better, any fool that subscribes to lesser evil bullshit thought trump was better. It was your party that chose not to primary the candidate no one wanted in office, who's mental incapacity could no longer be dismissed as a stutter. Trump is a self inflicted wound that liberals refuse to take blame for.
They have no balls to ever do the right thing and abandon the oligarchy,
