    This is nonsense. There’s a massive difference between Republicans and Democrats.

    The main issue is that Republicans are, more often than not, pieces of shit who never argue in good faith, while Democrats try to act with the higher morale ground, when they really should be pushing harder against the Republican bullshit.

    Just look at their goals and agendas. What do Republicans even stand for besides bending over for money and being against “woke” culture? Sure, there are Democrats who are money removed too, but compare the two groups overall.

      As someone that votes left, your comment still reads like someone that has faith in their representatives.

      Are republicans trash? Yes.

      But don’t, for a second, believe democrats are “of a higher moral ground”. They are human, and they are therefore just as capable of being shitbags as anyone else.

      Not trying to be pessimistic, just realistic: 99% of these people are monsters that don’t give a shit if you live or die.

      This right here is the problem. Democrats let republicans do their thing. In other words, they’re complicit. That’s why people point out they’re really not all that different. Yes, there are differences and 10 times out of 10 I will vote for them over republicans, but I won’t fool myself into thinking it’ll actually make a significant change. At best I can expect a pause in the republican freight train of bullshit.
