People are right to say Dems are different when it comes to domestic policy, but they agree with Republicans on almost all foreign policy decisions. A significant portion of the criticisms Democrat representatives made of the recent Iran bombings amounted to, "Hey, you didn't give us a chance to agree wholeheartedly!"

And most of this "slide into fascism" is just taking foreign policies and applying them domestically. In that sense, Democrats hold a lot of the blame as well.

I don't disagree. Republicans are overtly evil.

But many people ignore that both have been facilitating the concentration of wealth and power that is at the core of all the systemic problems affecting almost everyone.

It started around the Reagan era and was reinforced by die bushes and Clinton.

Obama was the big "Change" candidate that was supposed to reverse the trend, but he betrayed people by entrenching it instead. They distracted people though the token measure of "wokeness" and obamacare, which did nothing to address the causes of those problems.

It's not a lie though. If the Democrats don't want to appear to be "remotely similar", maybe they could try distancing themselves from the Republicans, instead of adopting the Republican policies.

Hmmmm, both supported genocide for one. Both take large sums from oligarchs and PACs to do their bidding. You can perhaps argue on some of the social issues but beyond that I don't see how you make a large difference in their corruption

On the matters most important, they are the same. Both are hell bent on the concentration of wealth and power with the elite.

Republicans just add the flavour of being overtly evil, where Democrats pretend they are good.

The political system is the problem, what we have today, is what it has been designed to do.
