Who is in power right now. Both parties are deeply infused with liberalism, the only difference is where they point their fascism. You cannot in good faith say one party is better than the other when the "better" party is literally complicit in genocide.

For all intents and purposes the conservative party is in power. Sure, they aren't in the White House, but they own a majority in congress and the supreme court.

As for complicity in genocide: I never said I liked the Biden administration's wholesale carte blanche sorry of Israel's genocide in Gaza, but two wrongs don't make a right. The US doesn't need to also support the genocide of Ukrainians by Russia through political inaction. One current genocide involving a US ally is bad enough, we don't need two thank you very much.

Sure, I'd love for the US to stop supporting Israel. But I'm not going to suggest they do it over the dead bodies of Ukrainians.
