Anyone that has to hear “the two parties are not the same” is too stupid to change their tiny little mind and recognize it.

Both parties are certainly not the same, however both parties have a lot of the same interests. The truth is establishment Democrats have very little personal reason to fight back against these insane right wing policies because they personally benefit from them; and that is the singular truth that makes our current political climate so dangerous.

While they don't have any reason too fight back however, they also will not generally propose these policies. They just won't block them, so the solution is simple, prevent these policies from being proposed.

However lots of people want to see the world in black and white and just want to conflate concepts like this with something that has no nuance to it like "both parties are the same" and blindly parrot that statement without stopping to analyze what it's really talking about and that's a huge issue since it disenfranchises more vulnerable people. I suspect blanket statements like this are likely a large contributor to the US' low voter participation, and i wouldn't be surprised if a lot of them originated from foreign influence.

I once got a death threat here on lemmy for suggesting that democrats were better than Republicans. That was interesting to say the least

You’re not wrong. Apparently the truth stung someone pretty hard.

They have to live with the fact they didn't vote as the next Hitler takes hold, it's also the only thing their stupid little minds can use to go on without acknowledging their conscience that wants them to yeet themselves out a window.

They think Thalmann did nothing wrong, so if anything, they celebrate that they didn't vote as the next Hitler takes hold.
