Comment on US Politicians praying inside the House of Representatives
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 hours agoYou have to understand that I’m not trying to defend the Democratic party here. It’s just important to be clear that both sides are not even close to being “equally out of their minds.”
Do I really need to go into details here, or is it not just self-evident based on the past 6 months?

First, I’m rather far far left. Both mainstream parties have traditionally been against things I hold dear. So things promoted by democrats can be poison to me.
But that is not the point.
When you have a party supporting the fascists, and a party that is less so; and that other party is against enabling, asking, paying token lip service: to democratic principles that every real democracy in the world holds dear, practices that would make the fascists loose.
That makes them a passive enabler.
There is nothing wrong with being a professional looser, and a corrupt mess, if that is what your voters want. But when it’s something that important and there is still no mass awareness of the situation, or even a glimmer of interest to do better.
That does make them equally bad. Much like a child abuse scenario where one parent beats up the children and another parent lets them.
And I think future historians will agree with me
