    OP makes a statement that all democrats and republicans act the same and are equal

    Wrong. OP never wrote that - YOU made that statement as a strawman. You should try to be a more honest person.

      Sorry, here you go since you missed the comment seemingly.

      “It will never happen. Biden is owned by the same people as Trump. There’s only one party, the party of the Oligarchs.”

      Did you even read what OP said lol? It’s right in front of you, the first sentences. If I’m being dishonest then you are on another level of insane/lying.

        Biden is owned by the same people as Trump. There’s only one party, the party of the Oligarchs.

        Is not the same as

        all democrats and republicans act the same and are equal

        Refusing to see nuance in the difference between the sentiment of these two statements does a disservice to yourself and your cause (unless you’re on the side of the billionaires).

        So here you go since you missed the distinction: they can both be (and are) corrupt, without being “the same”.

        People like to point out all the ways they’re not the same and one team is better than the other. Fine. Those things can all be true, and politicians in both those parties are still corrupt.

        It was only a couple presidents ago that Democrats had the House, Senate, and President. Even then they couldn’t get their own members to vote for anti-corruption legislation.

          Great!

          This is a fair reply, but it sounds like we’re both on the same page. Yes, both parties have their own issues but saying they’re the same isn’t correct. If you’re in a position of picking between them then clearly one side is less corrupt than the other.
