You spelled out what everyone here already knows. Everyone knows tbe Dems got serious problems. The problem with the response is that it’s “butwhatabout” and an appeal to hypocrisy as a argument fallacy, which you also did. Completely unneccesay and no, it is not helpful, does not add anything to the conversation, and does not grant it legitimacy.

Agreed. That being said, I'll vote for the lesser evil until a better viable option becomes available, just for survival. We need ranked choice voting in this country, and other measures like it, to give alternatives a chance. There's no incentive for the oligarchy-supporting parties to do it, though. I'm not an accelerationist, but I'm beginning to think we will need a (hopefully peaceful) revolution to snap us out of the duopoly we have now.

Here the thing. It really is that black and white. That kind of idiotic refusal to actually examine what the two parties stand for lead to a fascist being elected, twice. It lead to the removal of bodily rights for women. It lead to the persecution of lgbtq+ and non-white residents. It lead to a global tariff war and insane inflation. It lead to non-stop cronyism and grifting at the highest level of government. It leads to the DOJ openly targeting "enemies" of the president. And... We're only 9 months in to this shit. Republicans have other things on the docket, like waging open war on their own countrymen, rigging the election process, destroying any energy source that doesn't release millions of pounds of pollution into the air, abolishing social security and medicare, instituting christianity as a national religion.

You wanna know why we're acting like fucking animals? Because we're fucking tired of hearing bullshit like "it isn't black and white" and "both sides are the same" when it is clear as fucking day that there is a gap between them larger than the Grand fucking Canyon.
