    Tell me more about how democrats are not like republicans. How they’re not owned by the billionaires. How they didn’t deport people. How they implemented medical care for all. How they codified Roe.

    This is not “both sides” but quite the opposite - there’s a good and progressive side (top of the stick) and a depraved and evil side (bottom of the stick). While the parties differ in their demeanor (e.g. civility, rule of law), their goals are quite similar, which is why both are at the same position on the political spectrum.

      They weren’t planning to round up an entire fifth of the US population and put them in concentration camps.

      I feel like that alone counts for a lot. Sorry you seem to disagree.

          No. They weren’t.

          Generic percentage increases to immigration enforcement are not the same as Kristi Noem tweeting about SIXTY-FIVE MILLION PEOPLE, no matter how strongly you feel about the shit we were doing before.

          The Idiot is talking about stripping natural-born citizens of that citizenship, and sending them all to cat-food factories in Sudan, and y’all still wanna bicker about Obama catching people crossing the border. Like you can’t figure out there’s a difference between a little over a million people, across eight years, and every Hispanic in America facing a no-trial black-hood flight to fuckoff nowhere, as soon as practically possible.

            some people kill a few people, some people kill a lot. Both are murderers. If you can support one it shows your moral failure.
