    I still don’t like saying how they’re both the same because I fundamentally don’t believe that to my core (ie if they had all three branches we wouldn’t be talking about all this current mayhem).

    However, I think I understand your point and I agree with it.

    So thanks again!

    Thanks for replying, I just recalled this:

    https://www.npr.org/2022/01/27/1075299510/the-expanded-child-tax-credit-briefly-slashed-child-poverty-heres-what-else-it-d

    Now we can say he failed but I can’t say that specific act is evil. Palestine on the other hand … ☠️

    Like, I get your viewpoints and you guys think I’m trying to bury any negative viewpoints of the democratic party or that I’m brainwashed. Which is funny to me because I hate the establishment Dems. I just think posts saying both suck and attacking the Dems aren’t helpful because they currently have no power. The other party is causing a lot of damage and there seems to be no stopping them so kicking the feckless Dems when they’re down seems weird to me.

    I also think the democratic party needs to be ousted by progressive candidates that have a good vision for the future. I’m not gonna lie though I don’t see it happening. The establishment Dems aren’t gonna bow down. Also, I see so many protests happening and although AOC and Bernie have made the news I don’t think I see the Dem leadership taking advantage of this and putting up a solid front either, like wtf is going on? I’m not sure it’s the coverage but it really seems like they’re lost.

    Are you having a stroke? I don’t follow your point and/or syntax.

    I was making reference to this.

    Wait. If how can there be any “nuance” if you can’t compare the two parties? Is a comparison of apples with oranges flawed because of the “nuance”?

    I never said you can’t compare. I’m saying this comparison is devoid of any content. The establishment dems suck for many reasons. None of which you can find here.

    You can have your own interpretation but don’t assume that this was OP’s intent.

    I think I will.

    [edit] the point that everyone is emphasizing is the Republicans is setting the US on fire. The Dems have put on rallies to stop it. The posts that are saying “both sides” are just insane to me, but whatever. [/edit]

    Two parties in a two party system is no case of “apples and oranges”. That’s as close to a fair comuarison as yo’'re gonna get

    stroke much?


    seriously, this isn’t a “fair comparison” because it doesn’t address any sort of nuance nor is it supposed to. It’s supposed to make people go: “yeah the dems suck too” rather than understand anything about what’s going on.

    If you claim to be on the same page then whatever, we can just agree on our core points leave it at that.

    I can’t deal with US politics right now and this thread.

    I’m fucking Canadian and people upvoting this both sides nonsense is getting my blood boiling.

    I thought this enlightened centrist shit was over with but people are bringing it up like they’re some next-level IQ genius. When in reality they’re trying their to push people to the right (whether they understand it or not).

    What are you talking about the initial argument is completely insane to be begin with. I think Biden came into office and reduce child poverty or hunger or something by half as his first action.

    We’re gonna compare that to Trump destroying the economy, removing due process, open up national parks to logging, letting DOGE cut departments with corruption, invading other countries?
