    Because it’s not “both sides.” There are three sides, here. You’ve got Republicans, who are universally awful. Then you’ve got corporatist Democrats, who are also universally awful, although marginally less so. Finally, you have actual Democrats like AOC, who aren’t awful in the slightest.

    The “both sides” people never differentiate between the second two groups. What we need is more of group #3 and less of groups #1 and #2, but pretending all we have is #1 and #2 is bullshit that doesn’t help anyone.

      I’m here for group three

      The revolution is basically inevitable now. May take decades before anything meaningful changes for the people, but it’s suffering is inevitable.

      The dems are complicit, as a youth I was an independent. Bernie got me to register Dem, and I’ve never felt so betrayed, betrayed by this party constantly. I’m out. Its going to get worse before it gets better, sucks but, here weeeeee ah goooo
