You mean the Democrats/Liberals who still have detention camps and support the genocide in Gaza?

To answer your question, what is meant by "both parties are the same" is that neither side has any interest in solving the root causes of virtually every issue within the country and abroad. Democrats and Republicans put the interests of the wealthiest and the preservation of capitalism ahead of all else. It's a bit unfair to say that everything the parties publicly fight over is a distraction from the conflict between the ultra rich and everyone else when fascism can and does create horrible outcomes for the less privileged. But it's certainly a convenience for Democrats to be able to say, "at least we're not Trump" while offering nothing else to those suffering under the constant shift to the right.

This, they've basically been running on "not trump", sorry that's not good enough for me.

Your alternative is Trump. There isn't a third option at this point. So if not Trump isn't good enough for you...then actual Trump is? Your logic is bad, you should feel bad.

There are alternatives, we had Bernie running twice, Marianne Williamson, Cornell West, Howie Hawkins, etc... but the Democratic party actively works against them.

Granted, out of two options, not trump is better, but it's still not good enough. If the choice was to have no food, or to have some food but still not enough.

I would still choose to have some food over no food but saying my logic is bad for saying that the options available still aren't good enough isnt particularly helpful. We can demand better while still not choosing the worst option.

"Your options in this country are someone actively enabling a genocide, or a pseudo-fascist" -> that country can burn in hell for all I care
