Oh I see. You are basing this on feelings. I totally agree this is how you feel. When you are ready to understand why the system is broken you can start below.

No I'm basing it on my material condition, and Democrats are doing almost the same amount of harm to me and many others.
You're basing it on your material condition, where you benefit more under them, and to hell with those they run over, THe hELL With ThosE tHE SYSTEM DesTroyS, i wIlL SUPPort iT as loNg AS IT WORKs For ME!
I have no obligation to lie down on the train tracks for you because you're afraid of degrading your comfortable lifestyle, when you openly tell me I'm just a victim of a broken system you insist on participating in and not fixing.
I am sure plenty of Democratic people don't even know you. Pretending they are directly harming you is an emotional response.
You aren't speaking from knowledge and instead speaking to your feelings. There is nothing wrong with that.
What a stupid thing to say. Their policies directly harm me, the policies you support and dismiss as "lesser evil" directly harm me and my people. It's material harm, and emotional too, but par for the course to dismiss that as well.
As long as you're not harmed, that's the priority. I must vote blue, and if I don't I'm to blame.
Name the policy.
Their unconditional support for Israel and Biden's genocide in Gaza for a start, they literally lost the election over it.
But I know, brown people aren't as important as your first world problems, so you're gonna deflect and deny, maybe callousely ask me if I'm happier with Trump?
