It is really not. While both sides are not the same on the surface, both Republicans and Democrats participate in insider trading on the stock market, they both use capital to influence political decisions away from the best case for the people. The Republicans and the Democrats have been for a near century the same party, it has not been until recently where they have diverged enough to have actual disagreements on things. The belief that Democrats will save you from Republicans or Republicans will save you from Democrats is literally taking the steps to hand authoritarians reins to government. Which I mean cool I guess, you get internet points for not being the other guys, when you should not want want to be any of them.

I disagree. Both sides serve the corps but only one side is actively trying to take away medical rights for girls, attack the LGBT community, and hamper education. I understand corporate greed and capitalism are problems, but they’re not the ONLY problems. The way I think of it is that both sides policies are unsustainable, however republicans are actively evil and try to make peoples lives worse.

I agree, dems and republicans prior to the mid 2010s were the same party. But the democrats are being taken over at the local level and at least pretend at the federal. Republicans will turn us into a christian theocracy, democrats want universal healthcare - maybe. You're the one trying to get internet points here boy, stay in your lane or start bringing facts.

Funny that universal healthcare and Christian morality laws are both things that can be used as tools to increase the power of the fascists while also not being things they actually care about in and of themselves.

When the only thing you care about is increasing state control of everything, then yes.

I didn’t say the state was bad, and I didn’t say billionaires were good. The fact that billionaires exist is a huge problem with the world.

If you have so little interest in what anyone else actually says or believes that you immediately resort to bizarre straw men without even trying, why bother posting about politics in the first place? Seems like a total waste of time for you.
