One of these parties actively campaigns and passes legislation to block my access to health care and wants to make my existence in public illegal. Their supporters regularly say people like me need to be beat or murdered. I have had this happen in person, to my face, by a family member.
The other party actively tries to block the harmful legislation and passes protections for me. Their supporters are at worse indifferent to my existence but are often supportive of my navigation through my struggles.
To be able to ignore these differences and put words in other other minority's mouths shows an extreme level of privilege.
The other party is actively engaged in a genocide, but I guess as long as its other people being murdered at an industrial scale, libs don't give a shit.
Ignoring that genocide is beyond the scope of this meme, both parties are complicit in providing aid to Isreal, who is the party actively committing genocide against Palestinians. It's important to recognize the difference between not giving a shit and recognizing something can't immediately be done about a situation. Gaza is not on the ballot in the United States and won't be until more left leaning individuals take power in congress. This process starts at the local level, and years before an election is held.
But its good to know that the genocide of my people is less important than the genocide of others. The perspective that two genocides is just as bad as one is absurd. Again, being able to believe that the party of liberals and the party of white nationalists are both fascist parties indicates a level of privilege or insulation from living under a fascist regime.
Yes, both parties commit atrocities and crimes against humanity.
That's actually your position where you ignore the genocide being conducted by the democrats while talking about what republicans will do to people in US.
Liberals are fascists, and people who pretend otherwise are the privileged ones who live under a fascist regime and ignore what the regime does. Look in the mirror buddy.
