I've been saying exactly this for 20 years. But all people want to hear is "Are you on MY side, or are you on the OTHER side?"
Uhhhhh, no. There is no sides based on R or D. There's only sides based on $. It's a big club, and you ain't in it.
So if I ask if you are on Trump’s side or Harris’ side you would say both sides are the same…
It's good cop bad cop. One may treat you better than the other, but ultimately neither of them have your best intetests at heart.
One side is fascist and deporting anyone and everyone, not to mention the coup and anti science that is going to kill so many people. I could go on and on about the differences between them.
Just because rich and powerful people have been successful at controlling our politicians doesn’t mean both parties have the same goals.
All political parties and system are susceptible to corruption.
If nothing but leftists and progressives won every election going forward, some of them would end up being influenced by lobbyist and special interest groups. Whether it be through bribery, gifts, blackmail, threats of violence, promises of more jobs or whatever.
