    In reality, one of these sides is significantly closer to the edge of the pool, and much less slippery.

      It’s so funny how even in analogies you’re reduced to splitting hair and grasping at straws desperately trying to find any meaningful difference between the Dems and Reps that isn’t easily debunk-able because as the Dems go increasingly mask-off you have less and less to work with to make your “vote blue no matter who” spiel.

      Like, you do realize how utterly negligible a difference what you just said “adds” to the metaphor right?

          “LiFe iS fUll Of chOOsIng tHe lEsSer oF twO eVilS.”

          Do you have any actual arguments or just instant noodle armchair truisms?

          “Lesser evils” are only worth choosing if the difference between the 2 evils is big enough to have an impact. In this case it isn’t, both parties are genocidal gangs with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. The only difference between the 2 is what they say when they know the public can hear them (and even then their rhetoric is getting more and more similar) and what the corporate owned media says about them, but in practice, when it comes to quality of life, repression, violence, wages, legislation, etc… aka metrics that actually matters, there is virtually no difference between the 2.

            Ah well, if there’s no difference you can vote for the side building concentration camps in the US then I guess. I mean, the DHS is literally unfunded at the moment because democratic lawmakers are demanding ICE reform.

            Or, if you start your own party let me know, I’ll vote for ya. 😉

              Democrats were literally building concentration camps and funding ICE when they were in power too.

                Yes they were, but it wasn’t as bad, which is sort of the whole point.

                Would you rather have hand-wringing neoliberals with some accountability, or hardcore right wing authoritarian nazi republicans with no accountability?

                One leads to a new holocaust in the US, the other leads back to the status quo. Take your pick.

                  One leads to a new holocaust in the US

                  From outside your shithole, that sounds perfect.
                  Your ‘other side’ is OK with holocausts too, as long as they’re somewhere else.
                  Suffer and eat shit, you all deserve it.
                  Zero sympathy for you sanctimonious scum
