      Repeat after me …. The democratic party is funded by the same wall street military and prison industry profiteers that fund the republican party and they are fundamentally opposed to shifting policy to the left and adopting economic democracy to any extent in their platform to the point they would rather ensure a right wing candidate wins by sabotagingrg any popular pro workers rights candidate rather than nominate anyone left of their platform which makes american western neo liberal democracy a defacto class dictatorship!

        I noticed you conveniently left out " Christian nationalists" from your list of people funding political parties. Why is that?

          Bro i was born and raised to be an evangelical nut job so you don’t have to project your qualms with white Christian nationalism on me.

          Those with capital who are in control of our political system are first and foremost fascists. They don’t care about christianity so much as it serves them as a tool to manipulate those dumb enough to buy into it. The whole perpetuating industrialized genocide to make a profit selling military ordinance and keep humanity under the boot of endless militarism is more dangerous than religion. Intertwining the two is a recipe for disaster but the main danger here are the war mongering billionaires not whatever imaginary friend they use to peddle bigoted hate and idiocy onto the masses

            My point is only one party accepts money from them. One party wants fascism. The other wants oligarchical capitalism.

            Hate both, don’t conflate both.

              Oligarchal capitalism is fascism. Fascism js essentially the combination of corporste power and government or corporatism. The democrats are fascist lite but still fascist. They took their marching orders from the same billionaires and got us to the precipice of where we are now. They have no remorse and just continue to make excuses. Read the writing on the wall ffs.

                No, it really isn’t though.

                https://www.openculture.com/2024/11/umberto-ecos-list-of-the-14-common-features-of-fascism.html

                They both suck, but let’s be clear about why they suck. Oligarch capitalism sucks because of wealth disparity and financial oppression.

                Fascism sucks because of the punishing of “out” groups and strict social control. And also wealth disparity and financial oppression.

                Capitalists don’t care if you’re gay or black as long as you have money.

                  US capitalists certainly do. I don’t know how many more examples it will take for gringos to stop going on about how “this isn’t America” like bro that’s ALL it’s ever been. I can’t point to a single time in US history that there haven’t at least three ethnic groups persecuted and disenfranchised, and that’s without even mentioning the violent political persecution.

                  If it always pushes racist war criminals to the top, that’s what your society was built to do. You don’t get a hundred thousand sausages and say “man, we gotta put different meat in, we can’t seem to get the machine to make any burgers” like, please look at the fucking mechanisms.

            I’m so selfish for not wanting to end up in a concentration camp. And the rest of the world is now so much better off with Donald Trump at the helm of the biggest military in the world.

            Things are definitely better in places like Ukraine and Gaza. The Trump regime has absolutely had their best interests at heart. /S
