Can I get a smug lecture on how you’re choosing the third, disconnected track?

    So vote for republicans if that’s the better of the two options? The cannot be EXACTLY the same. One is killing people in the streets right now.

      No. You are confused. The US government is killing people in the streets right now. Every year the US government kills people in the streets in the hundreds. And the US government arms white supremacists and fails to prosecute them when they kill people. The entire media apparatus is equally complicit. Both parties run the government. Obama appointed the same guy to deport 3M people as Trump appointed in both terms. Biden chose to do literally nothing about de Joy running the USPS and openly declaring his intentions when he could have, but it wasn’t politically easy especially because de Joy had bipartisan support.

      You don’t get it. The Republicans are LITERALLY in the public relations position to act the way they act and the Democrats are in the public relations position to act the way they act because psycho-socially it covers the largest range of the bell curve of public sentiment. They divide the work of public relations and then literally collaborate and support each other in managing the affairs of the state in a continuous process.

      That’s why Obama carried out the wars planned by Bush, and why Trump used the DHS and ICE powers created by Obama and why Obama bailed out the banks after they crashed the economy using the openings created by Clinton and why both parties have been steadfast in killing babies and pregnant mothers via sanctions and why both parties have zero interest in restoring the 350+ broken treaties with the indigenous of this land and why both parties continually increase military spending and continually preside over increasing white supremacist gun violence and police violence (but I repeat myself) and why both parties condemn anything that Bernie and AOC say that are mildly left.

      I understand that the Republican PR strategy creates more of this violence than the Democrat PR strategy but the Democrats have never done anything about it because they understand their role in the collaborative system and it’s not to defeat the Republicans.

          It’s such a bad question. The Good Cop is not going to be exactly the same as the Bad Cop and yet they work for the exact same precinct with the exact same goals.

          They are practically the same. Which is what people have been spelling out for you, because they know you want them to use an absolute word, so you can do some pedantry about Trump releasing a really mean easter statement, which the dems never would have done.
