I say nothing as a blanket statement as a general rule of thumb, but most democrats are no different then the Republicans. They are just into politics for the lifestyle. But some are genuinely ‘ok’. Much like ACAB, yes there are a few cops that are not the devil, but until they’re is systemic reform changing the whole establishment and preventing bad ones from existing (which are the vast majority), ADAB (all dems are bastards).
I think there’s some difference between tolerating shit colleagues (most of the “non-devil” cops), and actively trying to change the system from within (at least some of the democrats). I guess maybe there are some actively progressive cops, seems like that’d be a hard mission though…
Ok, can we just take a second to acknowledge the fact that you are trying to nitpick grammer in a debate about the moral and ideological quality of political groups. I really have nothing to say except for the fact that those kind of arguements have a history of being employed to try and undermine valid arguements by attacking the ‘intelligence’ of groups such as African-Americans to try and discredit their struggles and pain. (not trying to say it means that mine is more valid because you made that redirection, but please consider the implications of that tactic)
God come off it. Some people would rather have clearly written sentences and a correction is only an attack if you’re so fragile that anything would be.
They may have one or two of the same goals (money, superiority complex, etc), but there is one side that is not actively not trying to bring about the fourth reich.
~Hint: The “lesser of two evils” are the dems, and not voting for them because they’re not perfect is (and I don’t usually go to this extreme) the most stupid and asinine argument any idiot could come up with.~
^In fact, dare I say, that the whole “both sides” argument is an argument created and propagated by the alt-right simply to sow discord among everyone else. The proverbial straw man fallacy, if you will.^
Agreed. Another element is that the Democrat platform “allows” for a wide range of issues and progressive ideas. The controlling faction (the ones that share greed and power values with the Republicans) stifles any real change however in order to maintain power and status quo. Progressive ideals in the Republican party are a non-starter so there is nowhere else to go. Really what ought to be happening is the Republican party getting demolished for its anti-American, anti-people, anti-freedom racist and fascist actions and a more progressive party created to compete with a possibly saner and more centric and cleaned up Democratic party. Gonna have to take out the nazi trash first though.
There are sooo many other issues (especially with foreign/wealthy interference), but it can all be done with effort and inclination. Now where did we put that box of it?
It’s a genuine conspiracy theory, but I sometimes feel like there is some overarching cabal that controls both sides (regardless of country of origin), so as to get both sides to concede their singular will.
I always hate that argument so much. Yes, Dem/Rep is the same, but that is one portion of the same side.
Even then, there’s some differences between them and within them… I’d happily vote for Mamdani if I was in New York, for instance.

The problem is, NO ONE gets to the federal level as a elected politican without being a millionaire first.
It’s classism, writ large on the lot.
AOC did it. Absolutely an uphill battle but there are exceptions
Yes they fucking are different.
Also, than*
No? Then is correct in that sentence.
Absolutely not. Than would be correct if the message wasn’t bullshit. Grammatically, then is wrong there.

I mean, billionaires.
I’m thinking more than that. They too are simple pawns.
Aliens? Lizard people?
No you don’t, you just wrote below that Democrats and Republicans are the same. You are a both sideser and this is how we got trump: mental sloth
