Better in every metric? Try being Chinese and criticizing the government online, and see what happens to you. That’s a pretty scary metric. The US is fucked right now, but at least there is hope in a democracy, while it lasts. If we ever become a full on totalitarian dystopia like China, it’s over. It makes me sad to think that, with modern surveillance technology, there is probably no way for them to dig themselves out of it at this point.

@starik@lemmy.zip hope for democracy? What the fuck are you talking about mate the democrats are literally supporting ICE and the only difference between the two parties is queer people and women. Every single other issue, literally all of them, both parties are right or far right on. You're out of your fucking mind.

Half of the Democrats have already openly thrown trans people under the bus and they did exactly nothing to preserve the right to abortion, so even in those cases the difference isn't as big as people think.
