Democrats are, for the most part, pro union. They are the only ones supporting Medicare for all. They actually support science and education. They support social safety nets like social security and SNAP. They support gun regulations. They support foreign aid. They support safe access to abortions. They support LGBTQ rights.

No they dont. They campaign on supporting these things, but when they have power, they don't do anything about them at best.

When they had a majority under Biden and Obama, when did they set up Medicare for all? When did they codify abortion rights?

And lets look at their foreign aid:

  • Support for genocide
  • Support for dictators
  • Support for warlords

Life is demonstrably worse under republican policies for the working class.

And life got demonstrably worse under democratic policies for the working class and for people living in other countries.

Pretending like things will get better if we just let republicans win is not helping. They are literally turning the US into a fascist police state.

When did I say that we should let republicans win? I'm pretty sure I never did. The democrats are helping the republicans turn the US into a fascist police state. Remember when Obama increased mass surveillance? Remember when Biden increased funding to the military, ICE, DHS, cops, and helped build out the border wall? Remember when they both mass-deported and tortured people?

When one party is fine with me, if a little wary because I’m way further left than they are, and the other part literally wants to kill me and people like me, I see it as a pretty big difference.

Well, that may be the difference between us. I'm pretty far to the left of the Democrats, because I think things like rape, torture, and murder are bad. I see both parties actively supporting those things happening to people like me, and people unlike me. But I guess that doesn't matter to you as long as they aren't going after you.
