> I am independent and not a Democrat or a Republican because they are two sides of the same coin.

The only sense in which this is true: the GOP are fascist, racist authoritarians who have waged a decades-long war on the middle and lower class; the Democrats aren't.

If you think the Democrats and GOP are equally bad, you're out of your mind.

> two sides of the same coin

One of those sides is milquetoast and piecemeal kowtows to corporate interests, but still generally belives in the rule of law. The other side has been busy making Nazi salutes and illegally giving complete read-write access to the entire government's payroll to random twentysomethings who work for a South African billionare.

> He is making himself complicit in the deaths of hundreds of thousands in Ukraine

There's no need for hyperbole. Trump is bad but there's been less than 100,000 Ukrainian deaths (troops and civilians combined) since the beginning of the war in 2022, let alone under his reign.
