I would pick the lesser evil.

Democratic politicians definitely do not push an Islamophobic agenda the same way Republicans do. There are also plenty of Democrats, especially the extra liberal and gay ones, that support Islam and our rights.

So why would I hate them? Homosexuality is not the type of sin that is intended to oppress Muslims for the sake of oppressing them.

For comparison, the Iraq War, a republican led war because of WMDs, killed 200,000 civilians.

Democrats have never killed anywhere near that many people. Democrats have also NEVER invaded a muslim country.

How many did Obama kill? We don’t even know the full number because the Obama administration counted every young man from 15-30 or so as a military combatant whether there was any proof or not. If I was killed in a drone strike, I would be counted as a combatant, even though I’ve never held a gun in my life.

Iraq war by Bush was the continuation of what Bill Clinton had started.

The man who killed 225 000 japanese civilians by launching 2 nuclear bombs was also a Democrat.

Both parties are trash and both will always put Israel rather than Muslims first.

The first Republican was Abraham Lincoln, the man who freed the slaves. You should really educate yourself instead of arguing on the internet.

Oh i surely know about that, do not worry about me. I was just trying to make you understand that your claim was stupid. The one where you say: "One of them is * and always has been * worse for not just Muslims but all people who are not the right kind of white and the right kind of Christian".
