Let's look at which legislators have held progress back since we landed on the moon and it's almost exclusively one party...

Facts. "Both parties" might definitely suck, but the scale and scope to which that suck remains entirely non-comparable. The democrats are incompetent and ineffective, yes, but the republicans are openly and enormously diabolical and hostile.

No. One is worse. This does not absolve the other.

Fight the worst bastards, but if you only fight them to the bosom of the less awful but still very awful bastards? Youre not winning. Youre not even surviving long.

Democrats would rather lose to Republicans than risk a third party gaining traction. Make no mistake, there's a mustache-twirling villain capitalist party, and a "I swear I'm trying, please vote for me on this most important election evar" capitalist party.

Our most recent chance at lasting real change was the rail strike. Before that it was Bernie Sanders. They're doing it on purpose and playing leftists for fools.

This both sides are the same shit is so old now

If you truly can't tell the difference between them, I don't know what will help you now.

They're different, but they're good friends at the end of the day. One wants to kill me, the other doesn't care and wants to make their friends happy. I die either way.

They're not the same, but they aren't trying to be different.

If the dems wanted to win, there would have been a primary, and anyone but biden on the ballot. They care more about perpetuating genocide and sucking billionaire dick than they do about stopping fascism at home, and they're not willing to risk the former ending to do the latter.

I just told you the difference.

Not leftists. Libs. No overlap.
