Apathy gets nothing done
That’s what happens when you only have the choice between neo liberal and extreme right.
true, but both sides do need to be criticizeable, not just the worse one.
US citizens need to destroy the first past the post voting system. It’s fucked and undemocratic and it needs to be replaced.
The problem is that only people who came into power using the current system would have a chance to change the system. And why would anyone want to change the system that brought them to power?

FTFY
Criticizing is great, putting it like OP with “they’re the same, democrats just put on a hat” is dishonest and reductionist. This kind of thing actively causes harm and plays into the hands of the party that’s objectively worse for anyone that’s not rich.

It’s really not. My favourite example is Roe v. Wade - how long did democrats have to fix it? How long did they use it in their campaigns in the lines of “if you don’t vote democrats, republicans will overturn it”?
Yeah, they’re the better choice, for sure, but they’re not a good choice.

No, you.

The Republican one should also say no with Nazi flags, crucifix, and a gun
This isn’t even false equivalency, it’s just blatantly false.
I only see this argument made by conservatives. It is a deliberate attempt to drive a racist and LGBT-phobic wedge between the white working class and the Democratic Party. I have never seen a progressive person demand less support for the rights of minorities.
I also favor raising the minimum wage, making universities free to attend, and having universal healthcare - but LGBT rights aren’t the reason we don’t have those things. The GOP is the reason we don’t have those things, and it’s not like if the Dems said “Fuck it, arrest and kill the gays” that the GOP would suddenly support workers’ rights.
If you want to help the poor, vote out the party that says shit like this.
Mhm of course! Third year into the Democrat administration and wealth inequality in the US keep reaching new staggering heights.
Hmmm … and which party is running the House of Representatives that had the record for getting less done than any other in the history of the country?
You keep telling yourselves; it’s the other teams fault! All the while the situation is only geting worse and worse for the working class
And all the wealth inequality that happened during Trump?
Crickets from this guy
Republicans: how about we make it worse.
Meanwhile in reality:
And then got them the sick days they were looking for after all of it. Listen, I don’t agree with strike busting, but going back after to get the workers what they need is laudable. His brain is rotted by neoliberalism, but he is trying.
I have no idea what tone I’m trying to convey here, and I find that funny.
You’re forgetting that Republicans have NEVER supported unions and would jail every pro union worker if they could. Biden being anti union is suddenly the same as every Republican ever being anti union?
