The largest protest movement in American history happened under Trump because of rampant police violence under Republicans.

Then everyone went home when they elected Biden, even though police killings have only gone up every single year since then.

- Liberals are fucking fascist cowards that would rather see a billion dead than be uncomfortable for one second.
  
  Fuck you, PugJesus, and all your little MAGA cronies and alt accounts on here. I will never vote for a fucking Democrat.

Did those that downvote even read the article?

Shit is valid and you and your reactionary ear-plugging is this problem.

- Yeah, the article basically calls both political parties a bunch of evil idiotic pricks. Which is pretty fucking accurate, but nobody seems to want to acknowledge this, even here on Lemmy

  Both political parties are a bunch of evil idiotic pricks. Each major party is the party of corporate influence. One is slightly more overt and explicit in their intention but it's not enough of a distinction to make identifying them worthwhile.
  
  Okay, I acknowledged it. Now what?

  Show me a political group worth backing and I will listen. Otherwise you are yelling at clouds. We acknowledge, we see no alternatives. Over throw the government, hell yeah sounds punk rock but what replaces it? A bunch of dungeon dweebs with zero understanding of global politics. Some Christo fascist extremist group that would start and lose a civil war with anyone non white. A far left progressive group that doesn’t understand how the American threat of violence is the only commodity keeping the US from being a third world country. There is a reason we spend the money we do on our military, its why Israel is our Middle East enforcers, it’s why we have to back Ukraine no matter what. It’s why the 2 parties are essentially the same.

- The blue MAGA mass downvoters on here are a real problem for the platform. I don't even get the point of it. I think they think that any disagreement from the party line leads to the DNC failing because it's like Tinkerbell, and only kept alive by belief and clapping, not just a deeply corrupt neoliberal party in need of reform, that is terribly underperforming in only managing 50-50 while the GOP self-destructs.

Call it sheep herding, call it controlled opposition, or call it an accident if you're really gullible, but the outcome is the same. America ratchets rightwards and no one does anything. Rinse repeate until the lesser of two evils tturned into the lesser of two genocides.

- Democrats should be the right wing party, and the other party should be Progressives. Republicans have proven themselves incapable of governing.
