    We are ready to support the Democratic party whenever they intend to use their power to enact any positive change.

    We’re still waiting.

    I’ve been waiting my entire life.

      The party whose Supreme Court justices were responsible for all gay rights advancements, always vote to protect abortion rights, passed Obamacare to helps millions of Americans out, vs. a Republican party that has done literally everything in their power to empower their largest donors, and more recently has existed for the sole purpose of enriching the Trump family?

      If you can’t see the difference between the two then you’re either being willfully obtuse or you’re a subversive agent for the GOP. My money is on the latter honestly.

        Any party that allows wealth inequality to grow is not interested in fixing problems, just masking the symptoms.

          If you were in the trolley problem and the trolley was headed towards a million people, I can imagine you opting not to pull the lever to switch it to a single person because you won’t act unless there’s a perfect option with zero casualties.

            The two options in this trolly problem are Republican and Democrat.

            Switching the lever to the other option fails to change the course of the train.

              You just took a clear question/point (1 or 1 million people) and fabricated it into an unrelated and incorrect equivalency (omg what if they’re like Republicans and Democrats???). Realizing now I’ve wasted my time talking to someone who is, respectfully, a joke.
