    Trump wants to nuke Gaza, pave over the remains and build one of his shitty hotels there. He would also deport Muslims and send those who don’t leave to internment camps. Explain to me how both sides are the same.

      Trump’s vile ideas are monstrous, no doubt, but let’s not pretend the Democrats are clean when they continue to fund and support military actions that devastate lives in Gaza and beyond.

      Both sides perpetuate violence and oppression in their own ways—whether it’s through blatant aggression or complicit support.

      The difference lies in the packaging, not the substance.

      It’s my opinion that it really is the same system, two faces, both indifferent to the real suffering they cause.

      You disagree, and I respect your right to do that. As I’m sure you respect mine.

        Who says the Dems are clean? Most leftists I know openly acknowledge she’s so far from perfect but they’d still take her over Trump.

        Are you really telling me Trump and Harris are the exact same? Like give me a break. Why is Harris 3x more popular than Trump among Muslim voters?

          Everyone has their own opinions. I support and respect people’s right to have a different opinion than me. Just as you respect and support my right to my own opinions. Yes?
