    Because just about every piece “Both Parties Are The Same” rhetoric at play, right now at this point in history, aid and abet Trump’s (read Vladimir Putin) plan to destroy democracy.

    and

    democrat (/republic) party is controlled by banks (/big business)

    both can be true. That’s why this rhethoric so effective

      Maybe you missed the part about the collapse of democracy, which would be the crystal fucking clear consequence of Trump becoming president again. Russian-style “democracy” with a heavy handed white christian nationalist bent.

      this is reddit all over again. I am starting to wonder why I ever left

      Maybe go back there.

      I’m just finding out lemmy is crazy for this. Earlier today a guy got brigaded and later post removed because he suggested that people use the mods to sanitise the forum of any dissenting opinion.

      I myself made a comment suggesting that “both-siderism” is really a matter of perspective and people should question their leaders rather than continue to choose the lesser of two evils, remaining in a constant state of fear. I asked why people felt that way to a similar result.

      Now you have very reasonably tried your hand at reasonable compromise to a similar result.

      How is any of this espousing the virtues of democracy?

      Lemmy isn’t reddit all over again, it’s worse.
