Sure. They both benefit from the same situation. Both benefit from the weird electoral system the states have and they both benefit by being one of only two parties. Infact they are almost completely dependent on each other. Once Republican Democrat politicians realized they could get elected by getting people afraid of the opposition instead of excited for their candidate they've had this country voting for the lesser of two evils ever since. 🤷
Both options suck, but the Democrats are slightly better than the Republicans. They both get paid by the same people and they both push forward the same agenda. For example, probably the most left-wing policy we've had come out of our countries. Federal government in a long time is Obamacare. But Obamacare was actually thought up by a right-wing think tank called the heritage foundation. It's a Republican idea that works as bad as other Republican ideas but because it was put forward by a Democrat because who's going to defend it? The real solution is single-payer universal healthcare like any other non-backwards ass country has. But the Democrats being controlled opposition put Obamacare there instead.
Hope that helps you understand where other people are coming from. 👈😎 I find the short form memes like that used to strip away. Nuance and "trigger" those who disagree with you to be a very trumpet esque style of memeing.
You see the problem is that in a system where you only get two choices, you don't get to say both choices suck, because that is literarily helping the shitter side.
If you want to fix the system I'm all for it, but today, here, now, we are required to make a choice and the choice is crystal clear, one side is infinitely better than the other.
It's not close, it's not they both are not perfect, this shitty system we have requires us, as adults to vote for one or the other and the Republicans are batshit insane people that literally want to kill women and queer people.
This is not a matter of coke VS Pepsi, this is a brocoli VS steaming diarrhea.
I'm not going to vote for Trump. If my state were a swing state, I'd vote for Biden. I'm going to work on getting us a third option with my vote since im not in a swing state.
!you don't get to say both choices suck,!<
What's the point of this whole democracy thing if I can't even say my piece? Like what are we defending if we're just going to get in line and shut up anyway?
Anyways the two parties are still basically the same. We deserve an actual left wing party.
Since you asked...
They aren't the same. They are bad in different ways. One side are corporate shills who are looking to depress the power of workers the other wants to kill blacks, lgbtqa+, Latinos and turn women into sex slave baby machines.
One is clearly worse and we should vote against them, but don't tell me the Democrats aren't bad.

They both serve the rich first and foremost which is a critical issue for them to be "both sides" on. Yes, republicans are worse, but that doesn't make democrats good.

Confederate Republicans are as confusing as communist Republicans.
