      Let me explain it to you since you don’t seem to understand.

      OP makes a statement that all democrats and republicans act the same and are equal.

      I say no, that’s not right.

      Other poster says well if you look at this one example, they voted together!

      I said looking at one example isn’t reflective of the whole picture. That I can just pick another example that shows they don’t vote together. You need to look at it overall instead of cherypicking facts that suit you.

      Do you understand the logic there and why what you wrote makes no sense?

      I can make it simpler perhaps if you need it.

          “It will never happen. Biden is owned by the same people as Trump. There’s only one party, the party of the Oligarchs. All of the petty shit about abortion, trans rights, gay rights, racial equality, gender equality, religion, second amendment, etcetera are all distractions to keep us all at each others throats while the rich cocksuckers figure out more insidious ways to fuck us all over.”

          ?

          Did you even read what OP said lol?

        Wrong. OP never wrote that - YOU made that statement as a strawman. You should try to be a more honest person.

          Sorry, here you go since you missed the comment seemingly.

          “It will never happen. Biden is owned by the same people as Trump. There’s only one party, the party of the Oligarchs.”

          Did you even read what OP said lol? It’s right in front of you, the first sentences. If I’m being dishonest then you are on another level of insane/lying.

            Is not the same as

            all democrats and republicans act the same and are equal

            Refusing to see nuance in the difference between the sentiment of these two statements does a disservice to yourself and your cause (unless you’re on the side of the billionaires).

            So here you go since you missed the distinction: they can both be (and are) corrupt, without being “the same”.

            People like to point out all the ways they’re not the same and one team is better than the other. Fine. Those things can all be true, and politicians in both those parties are still corrupt.

            It was only a couple presidents ago that Democrats had the House, Senate, and President. Even then they couldn’t get their own members to vote for anti-corruption legislation.

              Great!

              This is a fair reply, but it sounds like we’re both on the same page. Yes, both parties have their own issues but saying they’re the same isn’t correct. If you’re in a position of picking between them then clearly one side is less corrupt than the other.
