      I’ll consider it when they stop accepting campaign donations from people that also donate to Republicans.

      It cracks me up how USAians act like there’s this huge difference between Republicans and Democrats and yet they are more or less the same thing.

        there is a difference. the republicans pour tons of gasoline on everything and set it slight, the democrats sit back and roast marshmallows. sometimes they throw a glass of gasoline or water into the fire, depending on their mood that day.

          Republicans burning everything and Democrats letting it burn illustrates my point better than I could have dreamt of.

        Republicans are a lot worse than dems — just take a look at Trump’s regime

            Joe Biden being the first sitting president to join an active strike just conveniently evades your straw-man. He has taken action against large corporations and implemented safety rules.

            Meanwhile Trump complains about overtime pain, enables big corporations to do what ever they want. Gave the richest Americans a sweet tax cut in his first term. He absolutely hates workers.

            They’re not the same. You can criticize the democrats while avoiding the “both sides are the same angle” that gives corporations and bigots everything they want.

            It’s like you listen the corporate/tankie propaganda too much. “Joe Biden and Kamala Harris bad” while lacking all the nuance in the world. This sanewashes Trump.
