    “Both sides” idiocy.

    The GOP is full of fascists, KKK, white supremacists, religious fundamentalists and anti-science pieces of shit. There is no way to redeem them.

    The Democrats are a mixture of economic conservative socialists liberals, and socialists. There is a chance to fix it.

    The socialists are the minority because the economic conservatives are corrupt and very well funded by billionaire Democrats and Republicans making them an effective controlled opposition.

        People that believe in socialism are socialists. They don’t have to label themselves that way.

        Americans are so brainwashed to be afraid of certain labels that they will do everything that the label is but will still claim that the label is bad.

          “We have to vote for the blue genociders because they’re different somehow from the red genociders, I am smarter than you btw”

          Yours is the opinion of an intellectually lazy coward who will later lie and swear they had no idea what was happening in the camps.

            To be fair, that’s pretty much the ancestry of West Germany. Well, that and all the Nazis who got a great big beautiful American bailout.

          They both serve capital at the expense of the working class. They arent the same exactly but they’re on the same side.

            They both serve capital but one is fully captured while the other is fighting back but it is still well below the 50% needed to be able to redirect the party back to FDR ideals just without the 1940s racism.

              Do you really think that the intersection of 40s racism and FDR ideals (for white people) is a complete coincidence? That there was absolutely nothing else happening at that time related to the US being able to sustain higher living standards for the working class?

              You clearly are not educated enough on this topic to have an in-depth conversation. That’s not an attack on your character, but you really should consider learning more.

              And before you say I haven’t provided solutions, real solutions & real change require theory and practice. It’s not easy and you will have a gut reaction to reject it because you are kept comfortable by the spoils of imperialism. This is why most people choose to not waste their time engaging with you and instead post memes. I have spent 30 minutes of my real life typing out a message that will likely not convince you of anything given what I’ve seen of your other responses.

              If you actually want to fight for a better future then I’d be happy to provide you resources to learn more.
