    Should be obvious at this point that democrats and republicans both have repeatedly failed to run the government for the people

    Both parties are just tools for the owner class and past time everyone sees it

      Are you fucking seriously trying to “both sides” this shit? Yes Democrats have leadership problems, but I haven’t seen the blatantly violate the Hatch act and other laws to use the government like this.

        As someone who’s followed politics pre-trump. Trust me, the Dems have undoubtedly moved further left, even just 10 years ago.

        Usually there’s like 7-10 Manchins and Sinemas. Now there’s just like 3.

          no that is called aging and dying off

          because elections are rigged when the information for the elections are bought/controlled by the same owner class that are trying to sell you products that are also buying politicians and the same owner class that also owns the voting machines that are used to vote for our politicians and the same owner class that owns the local news and national news plus all media

            Brother, 48/50 Dem senators voted for Biden’s BBB.

            That would be unheard of in a year like 2010.

      Well, democrats are asking to extend current discounted health insurance costs for everyone and republicans implemented massive tax cuts that gave the top 5% of earners 3-4x the tax benefit compared to the lower 40% Link.

      So no, the parties actually take substantially different views on the so-called owner class.

      I remember when I was “bOfE sYdEz” until I got off my lazy fucking ass and started looking up both party’s voting history and criminal conviction history and actually started watching representatives from both sides and how they presented themselves and realized that one side was WAY, WAY, WAY better than the other and that you’d have to be an idiot to play the both sides game, especially when the stakes are so high.
