So are your saying that voting for Democrats or Republicans is the same thing?

    Republicans: Yes to genocide

    Democrats: WE SEE YOU, WE HEAR YOU, but also yes to genocide

    Does the fact that one party wast to let the populace shape the narrative, vs the iron fist of fascism?

    Please tell me you can acknowledge this fundamental fact, it will help me gauge the rest of your responses

    Both parties fully engage in Manufactured Consent if that's what you're trying to say though not entirely clear. Also, Republicans are embracing not opposing Fascism in line with their drift to the far right over the years.

    No. Notice they said "even more anti-trans," not "just as anti-trans."

    I didn't realize there was an acceptable level of bigotry

    There is bad bigotry and worse bigotry. If you don't have the option of no bigotry, you choose bad. Harm reduction.

    Nothing like pushing the Overton Window solidly into Bigotry.

    Protest non-voting pushes the overtone window even farther to the right.

    Are you suggesting non-voting and voting for Democrats is essentially the same?

    No, that protest non-voting helps Republicans, because it's much less likely a right-winger will protest non-vote.
