and the blue guy is a lot less likely to try that shit on me or the people i love.

So it's only "a lot less likely" not a definitive won't ever?

oh for sure. i don't trust the dude, and his policy (like all capitalists) has tangible impacts on my quality of life. every moment we don't have universal health care, and specifically universal gender affirming healthcare for one of my specific minority corners, leads to the unnecessary deaths of innocent people. every moment we don't have housing justice, climate justice, and any number of other progressive policies leaves more people in horrific situations. i just don't think electoral politics provides a pathway for anything better at the moment, and if it goes to the red team things get much worse for everybody much quicker.

Historically, the guy that fought against apartheid is unlikely to commit genocide.

There's no definitive 'ever' in anything though. History has a few democratically-elected populist-turned-dictators if memory serves me right

And that statement isn't really true if you're a wage earner, need health care, need education, or an abortion, or need a home that you can both afford and live in. Dems just as enthusiastically shit on all of those people as Republicans.
