Yes, boo, Republicans are evil shits. No one is saying otherwise.
Yet you still ignore all the things the Democrats do to oppress the people for the benefit of the owning-class and their empire. You think the American government didn't do those things (aside from the rape, possibly) as well under Obama? Are you that fucking naive?
Or did we just forget about how Obama escalated drone strikes and JSOC raids beyond what Bush was doing prior, which resulted in a disproportionate number of civilian casualties? Or the bullshit with the Espionage Act to go after whistleblower and journalists that he straight up fucking lied about yet was exposed by Snowden leaking information from the NSA? All the fucking corporate bailouts at the end of his term, such as the $1 Billion bailout for Black Stone? His support of Israeli Zionism and their apartheid of Palestine? Reneging on closing Guantanamo? His aid to the Saudis in their campaign against Yemen? How about all the tax breaks for the rich he signed off on in 09? And that's not even scratching the surface.
Like holy fuck, open your eyes and quit missing the forest for the trees. Both parties are still in service of capitalist imperialism. Both parties are still your enemy even if one is more your enemy than the other.
