    The OP tweets directly dispute your claim because they show there’s little material difference between the two parties. Voting for Dems means getting almost exactly the same as voting for the GOP but with crocodile tears. Looks like Dem policy is the bigger tool in the GOP arsenal.

    Also, it doesn’t matter who wins the popular vote as the electoral college will override it if they don’t like the result. Nor does it matter who is voted for in primaries because the party machinery can override it if they don’t like the result.

    It’s okay, though. It’s hard to come to terms with the fact that the US isn’t a democracy. One day your people will be free. Hopefully it doesn’t cost what Dems and the GOP made Iraq, Libya, Vietnam, Korea, the indigenous, African slaves, etc (it’s a long list), pay for their democracy and freedom.

      Bold of you to assume they have that now

        it’s possible to leave a comment without sounding like an insufferable twat on a high horse

        It’s also possible to engage with a comment instead of tone policing the commenter.

        Democrats threatened railroad workers with state violence during Christmas.

        Why do they always get excuses for doing nothing? When the Democrats had a redacted filibuster-proof supermajority, why didn’t they do anything then?

        Okay, see we should organize to violently depose the Republican party since they are the primary obstacle in the way of creating a more fair and just society, right?

          Nah, just vote a bit harder.

          Who knows? Another hundred years and another minority might get rights.
