….and democrats aren’t really any better.

Joe Biden being the first sitting president to join an active strike just conveniently evades your straw-man. He has taken action against large corporations and implemented safety rules.

Meanwhile Trump complains about overtime pain, enables big corporations to do what ever they want. Gave the richest Americans a sweet tax cut in his first term. He absolutely hates workers.

They’re not the same. You can criticize the democrats while avoiding the “both sides are the same angle” that gives corporations and bigots everything they want.

It’s like you listen the corporate/tankie propaganda too much. “Joe Biden and Kamala Harris bad” while lacking all the nuance in the world. This sanewashes Trump.

Doing the absolute most basic shit for workers and genocide with a smile doesnt make them different.

Downplaying and focusing on only one issue. Looks like Lemmy.ml is beckoning to you.

How is saying your politicians should do better downplaying an issue?

I know. I’ll ask again…how am I downplaying anything by saying American politicians should do better?

I’m not really sure what you’re trying to achieve here?

You’re literally saying both sides are the same when they are not…

And you think that they aren’t because they throw the USAian people a couple of crumbs in rights and pay, and they do genocide with a smile? That’s funny.

They’re both right wing.
