Intrinsic to this sentiment is the classic false dichotomy logical fallacy. Saving yourself and voting for less destructive leaders (who aren’t starting new wars, and threatening your allies) are not mutually exclusive acts.

Had she, we wouldn’t be reading headlines about your dumb fuck president trying to rename the Pacific, rolling back EPA pollution limits, paying Russia to invade the Ukraine through petrochemical purchases, chucking tantrums about not getting a Nobel Peace Prize, and every other stupid thing, every fucking day. Lots of people protested against Democrats and didn’t vote for them, which would have been fine except the US has bugger-all preferential voting, so it put Republicans in power. It’s not complicated.
It’s laughable that you think that’s a rational response, implying the Democrats were just as likely to rack up as many transgressions.

What a whiny baby

counterfactuals can’t be proven.
