No one is saying that the Democrats and Republicans are the same. What we're saying is that the Democrats allegience to the ruling class puts them in a position that makes them unable to deal with fascism, and the result is that their function as a political party is to defang otherwise radically leftist movements.
Joe Biden spent a record amount on ICE camps while the threat of fascism was obviously clear.
Biden continued building Trump's border wall.
Joe Biden sat on his ass for 4 years and refused to prosecute Trump.
Democrats sat with their thumbs up their butts while Merrick Garland got flogged for scotus, and then turned around to immediately confirm Barrett.
Obama not only discovered Tom Homan, but awarded him with a medal when Homan devised a plan to separate migrant children from their parents at detention centers.
Every single dem senator voted to confirm Marco Rubio, who has obviously been one of the biggest champions of "immigration enforcement.
Democrats capitulated during the multiple government shutdowns.
Democrats blatantly shafted Bernie in 2016, and all but guaranteed Trump's ascension.
Democrats refused to pull Biden out of the race and all but assured Trump's second term.
Kamala promised to build the world's most lethal military during an active genocide
Democrats, during a period of blistering inaction, rushed into action to censure Al Greene when he was rude.
Establishment yes, but there are others and their number is growing. The old guard can do little to stop it at this point.
