What's closer (at least domestically) is:

• Republicans: Have you considered genociding the vulnerable? Here, see, we'll let you kill the libs!
• Democrats: We're not going to do a whole lot to protect anyone, but we're at least not as cartoonishly evil as those guys, and maybe you can have some scraps/an occasionally decent thing at the state level.

Dems aren't good by any means, but there's a real difference that produces a material impact on people's lives (again, at least domestically). Dems are not banning abortion and putting bounties on women seeking abortions. Dems are not teaching kids that slavery was actually job training. Dems occasionally do pretty good things at the state level, like marijuana legalization (probably the biggest driver of decarceration) and Minnesota's 2023 legislative session (passing directly pro-worker policies like requiring paid leave, banning noncompete agreements, and universal free school meals).

Ignoring that is not useful, especially when every possible difference is covered exhaustively and when the borders of "legitimate political activity" are drawn at two-party electoralism for most people.
