Again, we can’t make you see the point if you don’t want to.
You appear to be looking to not tell the two apart, and I don’t particularly care to go into all the reasons why this mentality is stupid and reductive as hell to the point of being actively poisonous to the ends you’re working to achieve. Because I’ve had this conversation before, and I literally can’t make you see the point in looking into the differences when you don’t want to. And, imo, that’s the exact mentality that got us here, because why bother voting less bad when ThErE’s No DiFfErEnCe BeTwEeN tHeM.
Propaganda works and it made a SHIT TON of Americans stupid enough to not grasp the obvious differences between the parties. All you have to do is browse both party’s voting history or look up both party’s criminal convictions and the difference becomes to extreme it’s undeniable.
But Americans are generally too lazy and stupid to do that simple task.
I’m trying to make a point about how similar they are, I don’t think you’ve understood that, don’t see the point in arguing with a leftist. We have a similar issue.
You should just stop posting on social media and start doing your due diligence and looking up both party’s voting history and criminal conviction history.
If you did, you’d stop this “both sides” bullshit.
Oh don’t get me wrong, I understand the point you’re trying to make just fine. It’s just a bad argument that falls apart if you aren’t entirely privileged and give it more than a cursory, surface level look.

It’s American politics and both your parties look the same from where I’m sitting. Ours are far from perfect, but they’re still better.
