    Well to be fair they also know democrats only say they will fix the issue and then immediately do the same things the republicans do because they just cannot do without that sweet corporate cheddar.

    I figure their logic is that at least the republicans are honest about it.

      do the same things the republicans

      I missed the part where the Democrats were cutting social security, Medicare, and Medicaid. And repealing the ACA. And attacking LGBTQ people. And deploying the military against American civilians. And sending people to foreign gulags en mass without trial. And attacking voting rights.

      Yep, they sure are the same.

        That was what Trump campaigned on wasn’t it? So contrary to democrats who usually don’t deliver in their promises Trump can at least says that he tries damn hard to deliver on his promises.

        I know this will be conflated to me being supportive of what he does. So let me clarify that I’m not endorsing it, I’m just stating the fact that Trump goes so far as to break the law in order to deliver his promises, while democrats work really hard to maintain the status quo even while having legal and political power to make real change. This is part of his appeal, a detail which should not be lost on democrats.

          We’re pretty much in agreement here. I simply disagree that Democrats do the same things as Republicans when in office. While I may vehemently disagree with most of their strategy, the Democratic party isnt nearly as big of a threat as the GOP.

            Same thing in terms of being bought by lobbyists (although Elon’s influence is unprecedented).

            Same thing in terms of refusing to reform one of the worst voting systems on the planet.

            Same in terms of insider trading (Trump is more blatant and doesn’t mind if he tanks the economy in the process).

            Same in terms of ignoring https://patrioticmillionaires.org/
