Comment on the two party system is just one big party

What in the Jill Stein bullshit is this? You honestly think shit would be just as bad if a dem was in the Whitehouse? Do you need some help off the toilet?
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris both supported the genocide in Gaza. Nancy Pelosi stood and clapped when Trump was making pro-interventionist remarks about Iran at the state of the union address.
I don’t like it either, but we can’t keep denying reality. The two party system needs to go.
Your skirting of my question and the demonstrably untrue claims you’ve made aside, yeah of course there are Dems that absolutely need to GTFO. Bad faith content like this is what keeps people from bothering to vote those people out.
WHAT ABOUT MY WHATABOUTISM!!
I have to concede that 99% Hitler is better than 100% Hitler in the short term, that much is true, but if 99% Hitler wins then 100% Hitler can become 110% Hitler. Then 99% Hitler becomes 109% Hitler. That’s Blake’s Lesser Hitler Theory.
We need to LOUDLY and unanimously reject “Vote Blue No Matter Who” narratives, otherwise there is no incentive for the Democrats to ever move towards progressivism.
We also need to work on alternatives to electoralism broadly. I think the Black Panthers are a great example to follow.
Criminy, ‘vote blue’ doesn’t mean vote and then sit at home thinking your work is done. It means voting for the lesser evil and then continuing to leverage the whole of your might to making the system better. It means fight just as hard for justice, just do it while trying to pick a less evil bad guy to have to fight. You want a whole new system? Then fight for it, and vote blue while you’re at it because it’ll be easier to kick those idiots out than the outright fascists.
What is going on here? Can’t be an LLM because at least the LLMs responses are based somewhat on what they’re responding to. This reads more like a script. I’m getting deja vu to 2015.
we have whole communities demonstrating voting fixes nothing.
Are you this genocidel too?

Don’t bother.
There’s like 4 of these idiots on lemmy that parrot these both-sides memes.
One of them posted in nostupidquestions last week asking how americans can be the ones paying tariffs because they’ve never been charged a tariff.
You can’t unscramble an egg. Just block them and move on.

It’s more than 4, unfortunately. And if you inject even a modicum of nuance, you fail their purity test and are deemed a dirty liberal.

and a modicum of nuance is when you support a genocide, I’m assuming?

Then why bother commenting? Blackrock Inc. & Vanguard will continue profiting well after your quokk instance dies, so why bother blocking someone who knows how economies are debts games?
