Reply to comment by Iffykindofguy in How good the US will be for living in future for those who will be earning decent?? by [deleted]

(Edit: Keep in mind I’m talking about political institutions, not voters.)

No, both sides are using the fascists to maintain power. Gop use Christian theocrats to garner political power, Dems use the threat of Christian theocrats to get people to settle for nothing

Neither has any intention of changing the status quo. They are both owned by the same business interests and lobbies, both represent corporate interests - the difference you see is marketing

Military, police, healthcare, debt, education, and foreign policy - both parties have the same goals; whatever offers kickbacks to the people who fund them. Both parties are owned. The difference between them are wedge issues.

Sometimes genuine fascists are elected to the GOP and sometimes people who genuinely want to improve the world are elected to the dnc but both parties are run by people who would lose power and money if status quo changes.

Contention is profitable. Abortion rights at risk is good for fundraising. GOP being a fascist threat is good for fundraising. But the dnc doesn’t believe their own rhetoric. For example; Biden could take manchin off of his committees, limit his reach until he falls in line. But he won’t because manchin is playing the role of heel. The ones who donate to manchin also donate to the dnc. It’s all a game to them

I dont care about the fantasy you believe in. It is an objective fact, a stated one by many, that republicans want to turn america into a theocracy. I dont care that you think all government is bad. We are talking about the real world, not an ideal fantasy where you can flip a switch and get the all star third party we dream of.

No, I asked if both sides were trying to turn us into a christian theocracy. You came back with a dodge and a rant about how joe biden isnt doing enough for you.

No, you did not. You downplayed what the right is doing and brought up past bad behavior from the left.

I didn’t downplay it. I said the Dems are complicit. You’re kind of being a baby

Saying that theyre not trying to change the status quo is downplaying what theyre doing right now.

…No it’s not. I am not endorsing it? The us has always been run by christo facsists - that is the status quo

Im guessing youre a straight white man? Thats not an insult, you just seem insulated. Brother I dont know how to tell you this but the status quo for 50 years was roe v wade. The status quo was mail in voting. The status quo was you could at least say the word gay in class if a kid asked about it. These werent where I wanted them to be, but you are not paying attention. Wake the fuck up.

Hey, just goes to show that living through the struggle doesnt mean you get the struggle. I notice you only refuted the thing you could, which is fair.
