No, they are not the same political parties, make sure you vote to keep the communists out. Also, vote in the primaries so we can get more conservative/freedom representatives as candidates. Voting is not the only answer to salvage the future but it's definitely a part of the answer.
Calling Democrats "communists" is such an advanced misunderstanding of both communism and the Democratic party that it's pretty tough to take you seriously.
What freedoms exactly do your "freedom" representatives provide? You can't do what you want with your body, choose the God you worship, decide who to love, or even the best way to live your life. They know what's best for you and will legislate it.
So, really, only the "freedom" to do precisely what they tell you... which is no freedom at all.
Hey look it's that thing where somebody says something on the internet so brick fucking stupid you can't tell if you're looking at an actual moron or a masterful satire.
Best wishes on a swift recovery from your head trauma/brain tumor/etc.
How do you feel about your moron fake president wiping his fat ass with the nuclear codes?
What is freedom-loving about conservatives? They often spend more than Democrats, are just as invested in welfare, and skirt the line on LGBT issues and freedom of education these days. Democrats can be bad in extreme cases for sure, and I don't like them just because I dislike conservatism, but "conservative" presidents won't bring freedom, if you mean Trump and the like.
