    I think that the Democrats are comparable to Republicans on treatment of Muslims. Democrats have supported and armed the Palestinian genocide, as well as waging war elsewhere in the Middle East. I wouldn’t say (and have never said) that they’re worse than Republicans, but they’re certainly comparable. I don’t think that “materially supporting a genocide and forcibly silencing dissent, apologetically” and “materially supporting a genocide and forcibly silencing dissent, gleefully,” are “incomperable.”

    Is there any way for me to defend that position, or am I just automatically a bot, logic and evidence be damned?

      You don’t need my stamp of approval, but you definitely don’t sound like a bot.

      I think the current situation in the Middle East, compared to two years ago, very clearly shows that the two parties are not in any way comparable as you claim. You seem to pick both reacting wrong to the same situation (the Gaza conflict/Palestinian genocide) as proof that they are the same and I find that claim disingenuous.
