Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley): The difference between Republicans and Democrats is that if a Republican president were to back a genocide it would be an evil and unforgivable atrocity, whereas when a Democrat president backs a genocide it’s a minor foible that you’d better shut up about unless you want Trump to win.
Why do you think I refer to them as "Team R" and "Team D", respectively?
Honestly, I see more reasoned, fact-based arguments from sports fans why they support a given team than I hear from most political partisans. Mostly the political partisans don't argue so much as throw around slogans, thought-terminating cliches, and stupid insults.
The fact of the matter is that Team D is the political manifestation of the Professional Managerial Class, with various minority grievance groups as junior partners, while Team R is the party of Local Gentry, with white Evangelicals as their handmaidens.
For those still stuck. Consider that both parties are part of the same Cartel. They share the same goals; stay in office, stay out of prison, loot everything they can while telling you this is the Greatest country and government in history while they Have more people in prison than Russia and China combined, spend more on militarism and creating terror than the next 12 countries combined. Engage in genocides, looting resources and have occupation forces in more countries than any other .
Always love the bashing of the uni-party. The "left"-"right" is an engineered dialectic which frames the parameters of acceptable public debate. This ensures whatever product the dialectic manifests it will reflect the goals desired by the power elite. However, both have to use elements of the truth for their social engineering spellcraft to work.
Is this a trick question? All those populating the DC Swamplands are of the same ilk, just dressed in various shades of sheep's clothing. There is not ONE person to trust in either party.
They both are garbage, I personally detest Democrats more because they are pretending to be about freedom and democracy when in fact they are neofascists who idolize literal Nazis. The Republicans are more honest about their evil doings.
As George Wallace once said "there ain't a dimes worth of difference between the Democrats and Republicans". Both D and Rs are cut from the same corporate cloth and could care less about the general public. They want to perpetuate the MIC full of endless wars, military worship and full spectrum control. The unholy marriage of military and economic might ensures that the rest of the world is held hostage to their depravity. D and Rs are twins from the same monster.
From the jaded middle, the only difference between the Democrats and Republicans is marketing to a different audience. It is seriously the same difference between Coke and Pepsi - regardless of which one you choose you get the exact same product with different colors on the package.
Caitlin, up until even about 15 years ago I would’ve said you were spot on except however, just to be clear, the Dems supported the Iraq invasion just as much as the neocons, given that their darling token black successful Uncle Tom Colin Powell held up a vial of white powder ( corn starch or baking soda or some other bs inert substance) in his plea to the UN. I was there, I fucking watched that in stunned silence. Very few people were against the invasion of Iraq; you just never heard the moral argument, war crimes or anything like that then. However I did.
I have to point out that the differences are fabricated to imply voting matters because so long as we believe voting matters, we won't do anything else. https://innomen.substack.com/p/we-dont-have-a-government
The difference between demoncrats and reprobates is not enough to make a meaningful difference in our lives! They both suck!
Like having to pick between two varieties of flavoured shit......no shit for me, I'm shit intolerant, thank you very much.

They’re both the same. Like Tories and Labour.
And while the Dems and Repubs point fingers at each other the rich and powerful laugh with glee.
Time for a new party. Or a new system altogether

That's what happens when Democrats decide that a right-wing warmongering carpetbagging Goldwater Girl is who best represents them. Upside down world.

"Democrats criticized the invasion of Iraq solely because it was waged by George W Bush."
Largely true, but let it be remembered that Joe Biden was an avid supporter of the Iraq war, even though he evidently knew that the WMD thing was BS.
