      Well, the one thing I can say is that democrats aren’t abolishing civilian oversight. Wasn’t that just passed in Florida, Texas, or some other red stronghold? I feel like I saw a conservative governor who banned civilian oversight.

      That’s certainly one difference. If you want oversight, it’s hard to get conservative politicians on board.

      Voting Democrat is not choosing your gender, it only has to represent you if you want that, like Trump voters, totally unnecessary.

      Voting Democrat is a strategic choice one could make so that their job of helping those in need is easier and less risky (you are working to help others right? or just throwing a wrench to make things harder for others?). Republican cruelty will put those who support Palestine or feed homeless at risk for jail and things like that. Making your own job harder to make a statement nobody will see because it will be drowned out by the presidential results doesn’t seem like a very smart thing to do.
