THREAD — WHY BOTH PARTIES SUCK

The GOP is pure trash. Rightwing extremists. Theocrats. White supremacists.

Dem leaders are their willing enablers, more hateful to the left than to fascists.

They serve the same goal: upholding a cruel system that oppresses the working class.
WHAT HAPPENED UNDER DEM MAJORITIES?

Mass deportation. Caged children. Droned babies. Gitmo. Gun violence. Prosecuting whistleblowers. Healthcare disaster. Bloated military. More war. Racist policing. Climate crisis. Billionaire bailouts. Obscene inequality. Homelessness. Hunger.
THE DUOPOLY CAUSES IMMENSE SUFFERING

We have the wealth and resources not to have a single houseless person, a single hungry person, a single caged child, a single citizen without healthcare and money for basic necessities.

Instead, we get this:

BOTH PARTIES MAINTAIN THE STATUS QUO

Do you believe the Democratic Party means well but is weak at opposing Republicans? You know, the well-worn "knife to a gunfight" theory which portrays Dem leaders as morally upstanding, but ineffectual fighters?

It's bullshit. Here's why...
PELOSI AND DEMS ****HELPED**** TRUMP

Trump has been a fundraising bonanza for Dems.

For 4 long years, Dem leaders funded Trump's worst excesses (like torture camps), gave him MORE surveillance powers, and refused to hold his thugs accountable.

They WANTED him in power.
WHY DID DEMOCRATS ASSIST TRUMP?

The same reason they rehabilitated Bush and his cadre of war criminals: The ruling class protects itself.

So if you're giddy over Biden/Harris, you will be sorely disappointed in the years ahead. Mark my words.
