You need to stop working off of vibes and think about policy. Off the top of my head:
Obamacare, anti-monopoly regulation, non-compete agreements ban, Russia sanctions + Ukraine support, not ignoring covid, women's bodily autonomy, CLIMATE CHANGE
But fuck it, you didn't get ice cream, the total destruction of capitalism, and a blow job on top of that, so now we have AI-enhanced gestapo invading cities. It's very easy to be the enlightened centrist and say "both sides same" when it clearly isn't actually impacting your life.
They didn't say both sides were the same they said the Democrats weren't doing enough to fight. Which is true. Democrats are constantly conceding shit and compromising when Republicans want to do shit.
It seems like they did say both sides are the same.
The same billionaires with the same agendas can be donors to both parties without those parties being the same
They're saying it seems like this because Dems don't fight hard enough.
Republicans have power because Republican voters choose to give it to them. The only reason I ever hear for that is that “Democrats don’t do enough”. The only excuse Democrats ever have for not doing enough is that Republicans have power.
By “having power”, I’m not referring to having a 51 majority. One or two corrupt dissidents is common for a political party, so it needs safeguards against no votes. Any “49” party still has a lot of sway as long as they can convince anyone. I’m talking about having 80% power.
Ratchet effect is a made up talking point facists propagate on the internet to suppress voter turn out.
Fun fact: they call it an "effect" to make it sound scientific and well researched. It's really just a fabricated fantasy to encourage apathy and hopelessness.
I get you want to spread fascist propaganda, but "the ratchet effect" isn't real in any sense.
The system is fucked, but not because of scary made up propaganda. It's fucked because clowns spread FUD and hopelessness to suppress voter turn out. In the end it leads to facism and a country ruled by pesos and rapists, it's sad you don't see it.
