Democrats now have a majority in Congress, but we can’t forget that they’ve held it before, and our lives only got harder. All they want from us is a vote, then silence until the next election. (tankie.tube)

Democrats and Republicans are the same only to the immensely privileged and immensely stupid.

Someone who says that is in fact privileged. ICE received a lot of its power during Obama's terms. Biden deported more than Trump in his 1st term and the GENOCIDE in Palestine was escalated severely under Biden, who would even bypass congress to force more funding for "Israel".

And now Democrats are throwing trans people under the bus, being very open about their transphobia and fucking liberals like you act all smug and condescending.

    Ask a pregnant woman if both sides are the same. Ask a black person.

    "Both sides" is a moronic cliche for high-horse ideologues who only pretend to actually give a shit.

    Ask a woman about Roe v. Wade, it was gone under Biden's administration. Ask a PoC about police and ICE, they were still being killed for no reason under a Democrat.

    Who appointed the judges who overturned Roe?

    If both sides are the same, why do you think 93% of black women voted for democrats this last election?

    Doesn't matter. Biden literally went past any supposed legal processes to force more funding for "Israel" in their genocidal campaign against Palestinians.

    93% of black women, how many in actual numbers? 93% of eligible voters still doesn't talk for the masses.

    Many of my comrades are black, and some are pregnant. Don't pretend you speak for all pregnant people and black people. Both the Democrats and Republicans are incredibly unpopular, the majority of people are disillusioned with the system itself.

    I'll have the 99% of black women in Mississippi who voted for the Democrat on the ballot speak to "both sides same".

    Acting like you care about black women when your racist ass does not care about them because now ICE won't target white people like yourself. Go back to Reddit.

    Despite you already having a racist reaction to China in this thread lol

    A fascist like yourself will do anything to protect their treats even if it means accepting genocide and unpersoning trans people.

    how many numbers is the 93%? How about the black women who face constant discrimination, death and poverty while under a democrat? Who can't vote?

    Here's a simple question right back at you. Do you think accepting genocide is worth it for voting in Democrats?

    We don't yet have data on how many eligable voters voted in 2026, but in 2024 only around 57% of Mississippians voted who could. Midterms nearly always have lower turnout, the percentages were in the mid-30s. You do not speak for all black women, stop acting like you do. Again, both parties are incredibly unpopular. The Democrats do not represent workers. The votes were against the Republicans, not for Democrats, in the majority of cases.

    They did not. 99% of black women who voted in Mississippi voted Democrat (and I'm not even sure that's correct, data on voter rates isn't public yet for 2026). Further, I have never said "both sides are the same." I have said that both sides serve the capitalist class. My point is that both the Democrats and Republicans are enormously unpopular, and voting was largely against Republicans, rather than for Democrats. Neither party has the trust of the working class, and voting is treated exactly as a lesser of two evils. A better system is necessary, and this cannot happen through the Democrats.
