They may have one or two of the same goals (money, superiority complex, etc), but there is one side that is not actively not trying to bring about the fourth reich.

~Hint: The “lesser of two evils” are the dems, and not voting for them because they’re not perfect is (and I don’t usually go to this extreme) the most stupid and asinine argument any idiot could come up with.~

^In fact, dare I say, that the whole “both sides” argument is an argument created and propagated by the alt-right simply to sow discord among everyone else. The proverbial straw man fallacy, if you will.^

Agreed. Another element is that the Democrat platform “allows” for a wide range of issues and progressive ideas. The controlling faction (the ones that share greed and power values with the Republicans) stifles any real change however in order to maintain power and status quo. Progressive ideals in the Republican party are a non-starter so there is nowhere else to go. Really what ought to be happening is the Republican party getting demolished for its anti-American, anti-people, anti-freedom racist and fascist actions and a more progressive party created to compete with a possibly saner and more centric and cleaned up Democratic party. Gonna have to take out the nazi trash first though.

There are sooo many other issues (especially with foreign/wealthy interference), but it can all be done with effort and inclination. Now where did we put that box of it?

It’s a genuine conspiracy theory, but I sometimes feel like there is some overarching cabal that controls both sides (regardless of country of origin), so as to get both sides to concede their singular will.

I’m thinking more than that. They too are simple pawns.
