    When you say this, it leads the uneducated to conclude that the parties are remotely similar in terms of being problematic. Is this a lie you intend to propagate?

      Hmmmm, both supported genocide for one. Both take large sums from oligarchs and PACs to do their bidding. You can perhaps argue on some of the social issues but beyond that I don’t see how you make a large difference in their corruption

          that costs their masters (superpacs and oligarchs) nothing. same as anti-lgbt pro-bible rhetoric of gop cost them nothing. those parasites divert us with worthless marketing while leeching away all the resources.

      It’s not a lie though. If the Democrats don’t want to appear to be “remotely similar”, maybe they could try distancing themselves from the Republicans, instead of adopting the Republican policies.

      On the matters most important, they are the same. Both are hell bent on the concentration of wealth and power with the elite.

      Republicans just add the flavour of being overtly evil, where Democrats pretend they are good.

      The political system is the problem, what we have today, is what it has been designed to do.
