I'm all ears if you've got someone that we can put in power that won't rat fuck us when it comes to privacy or civil liberties. Bonus points if they aren't just slightly less bad than the other guy.

You should have been "all ears" during the election...

Chase Oliver was the only non-writein person on my ticket that even bothered to put up much pretenses of running on a privacy and civil liberties ticket.

I do get that. Both parties are clearly bad. But one in particular is and was yelling from the rooftops about how they were going to destroy civil liberties of certain groups, and are now doing exactly what they promised.

Everyone must simultaneously fight for a better system and choose the least-worst option when it comes time for an election.

The one that forced people into their homes, required proof of medical operation to shop at stores, and tries to abolish my second amendment rights? Or the one that god forbid is deporting people that shouldn't be here in the first place.

lmao who was in office in 2020?

The ones who started the covid mandates were mainly democrat governors. Not sure why some people only pay attention to the president lol.

trump claimed ownership of vaccine development, deployment, and mandates when they were successful. i remember you guys booing him about that

also how do you reconcile your belief in second amendment rights with alex pretti's death at the hands of ice, an organization empowered by the current admin?

Uhhh that was wrong, duh??? But sometime bad things happen? I would much rather ice be empowered and we deport the people who should be deported. Its like how some people died from the vaccine.

The guy who decided to wrestle with law enforcement officers performing their lawful duties?

Kamala was a lot less bad than Trump. It wasn't close.
