Both sides are complicit in genocide. Sure, technically both sides aren't the same, but once you get to that level you're splitting hairs.
While those of us who are wealthier like to make fun of poor people who vote for Republicans because they're the pro-corporate candidate, strictly speaking they're just the ones who are honest about it. LGBT rights, immigrant rights, and the rule of law are important but they're also mirages. The democrats sold out LGBT people and immigrants as soon as they saw it wasn't helping them (that isn't to say it was hurting them, just not helping), and the rule of law has barely been a thing for a while in America.
Obama double-tapped children using drones, so he could get the paramedics too.
America is a unique country. One where the left-wing party has become the right, and vice-versa. As a result the supposed left-wing party in the Democrats is built on a foundation of slavery. That can't be repaired without a miracle.
It hasn't, you were just a lying genocide denier when it was your team doing it. This, incidently is why I don't take "lesser evil' Democrat supporters seriously anymore, because they're always quick to reveal that they're dishonest denialists about how evil the Democratic party actually is.
Ukraine, deportations, invasion of Canada/Greenland/Panama, and tariffs are the few areas where there is an actual difference. Biden absolutely would let Netanyahu keep doing what he's doing.
When it comes to the morality and corruption of the candidates, they're both the same. It's just foreign policy and social issues where they differ.
TLDR: Short-term they're different, long-term it all comes out in the wash. Or it would if Russia wasn't trying to erase Ukraine from the map.
That's like saying in a million years everyone will be dead, so why do anything?
Then let me instead zero in on a different idea, from before I edited in the TLDR.
"Both sides are made up of horrible people, just with different policy"
