    The fact that there are so many dislikes proves how propagandized the average American is. “How dare you call both sides the same” Well, they ojectively are pretty much the same with few exceptions.

      Especially for non-Usian people, doubly especially for those on the working end of US “diplomacy” - bombs, coups and sanctions come regardless of which US administration, there is literally no difference whatsoever.

      One side supports a criminal Nazi apologist who tried to overthrow our Democracy and hasn’t given up yet. The other side brings a knife to the gun fight.

      They’re not even remotely the same. 40 years ago that may have been closer to true.

        One side supports a criminal Nazi apologist who tried to overthrow our Democracy and hasn’t given up yet.

        And the other side commits genocide. It also overthrows other people’s democracy, but you don’t consider foreigners human.

        The DNC isn’t fighting for workers. They are bringing a gun to the gunfight, they just aren’t interested in using it against the GOP, as ultimately both serve capital. The US has never been a democracy for the people.

          Democrats seek to regulate said capital. The Overton window is too far right to have much effect.

          Serving capital does not mean we’re not a Democracy. Attempting a coup of the government and disinformation does, however.

            No, they aren’t.

            Serving capital does not mean we’re not a Democracy

            If you think that you live under a democracy, i.e. that your government’s decisions reflect your wishes, then you should be held accountable for the genocides and invasions that your state keeps committing.

            Attempting a coup of the government and disinformation does, however.

            The US suffering a coup would at worst not make anything worse, including in terms of ‘democracy’.

            No they want to appear to regulate capital. Most of the time they don’t actually want to regulate it. Yes they won’t be as overt as to do the massive wealth transfers they the republicans do . But they will. Who was president in 08 ? Who continued to dump money into our military contracts despite running as anti war?

            Like yeah the parties are different domestically but foreign policy wise the outcomes are usually the same.
