    True, but also remember one is actively trying to genocide larger and more groups of people.

      Which one, the one screeching about trans athletes, or the one actively funding colour revolutions and wars around the globe? They’re the same party. Always have been

        They would both fund the war. But one is also killing trans people, and people with uteruses.

        Florida is actively genociding trans people.

          And the other ones do fuckall to stop it, almost as if they quietly approve of it, eh? And, as you admitted, both indiscriminately murder people around the globe. So why would I pretend one is better? That’s the kind of “lesser evil logic” and “harm reduction” bs that permits the charade to continue and for the bastards to remain in power.

          Same party, same class interests, period.

    “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

      The parties in the United States only care about its capitalists. Neither of them care about even the proletarians of the United States.

      Maybe if you were claiming that in some other decade, but this is very blatant in the 2020s.
