    I don’t think “both sides”. I think they are the same side. That of establishment, or of elites, or of “the rich” if you like that rhetoric.

    We wouldn’t be having courts openly consider resetting our entire legal system to the 1770s including full blown racist laws, we wouldn’t be fighting for our basic rights. The level to which you’re completely wrong is HIGH.

    Yes, threatening you with “authoritarianism or barbarism” is more persuasive if barbarism is real. I’m not saying there’s anything else on the ballot.

      One side: We are rich and hate poor people.

      The other side: We are rich and hate poor people, and also want to kill minorities and the people we think are deviants.

      You: wow, totally the same.

        Since they can’t exist without each other - yes.

          I’m pretty sure the world can exist without Nazis. In fact, it did for a long time. It’s only recent history.

            I meant that Republicans and Democrats of today can’t exist without each other.

            Also no, it didn’t.

              They absolutely can. You could have democrats party as it is today and then a socialist party. The Republican party does not have to exist at all for Democrat party to exist.

                For that with Harris as an electable candidate yes it does.

                  You are genuinely the dumbest person I had the displeasure to converse with in a long time.

                  Your living in a GOP bubble, or just deeply racist if you think Harris isn’t electable. That’s absurd she’s gaining traction at a huge speed, people are very optimistic about voting for someone old enough to know and young enough to do.
