Technically wild horses aren't native to the US, they were introduced by the Spanish. There's debate as to whether they're considered invasive or beneficial for the ecosystem. The federal government has historically considered them a symbol of the frontier.

Regardless, there's no sane reason to go killing them all.

I never said or implied "worse". That was you.

My point is that fascism is on the rise worldwide. Here's my next point: Like it or not, what happens in the US will eventually affect you. We all live on the same planet and in the same information ecosphere. So maybe we should collectively take action to improve our lives and stop cruelty, instead of trying to win the Stupid Internet Points Game.

Have a good day!

I unfortunately don't have time to respond to all of your points here, so I will be brief: my point is not "vote GOP because Dems bad". My point is vote for more socialist Dems. Instead of settling for the lesser of two evils, we should be pushing for actual, meaningful plans for change, not just "tweaking around the edges" like the last two Dem administrations. We have had big problems long before Trump came into power, and they have only gptten bigger since then. Anyone who isn't proposing actual solutions to those problems need to get out of the way.

Have a good evening!

Their platform is just lip service; Their actions say that they do not want to improve the lives of average Americans without inconveniencing the large corporations and oligarchs who fund them.

Centrist Dems say they want to make healthcare affordable, but they do the absolute minimum to regulate insurers or drug manufacturers.

Centrist Dems say they want to make groceries and gas more affordable, but they have no problem emptying the treasury to pay for Israel's free healthcare, free college, and free bombs to drop on their neighbors.

Centrist Dems say they want to expand legal immigration, but conditions at the southern border grew worse during both Trump's and Biden's terms in office.

What frustrates me most is their Project 2029 proposal: Enforcing online age verification, effectively expanding the surveillance state and destroying internet privacy, instead of directly holding social media companies and advertisers accountable for their manipulative practices and dark patterns.

I have no problems with taxing the rich, but the centrist wing of the party has been loathe to actually do it, because that's who pays them.

Disclaimer, I don't live in Wisconsin.

The centrist Democrats are enablers and are completely beholden to the oligarchs that have looted this country, so yes I will shit on them every day because they completely deserve it.

But I will not vote for a Republican.
