Democrats aren't good tho, they literally are the enemy of good. If they weren't evil they would do literally fucking anything about republicans and capitalists trying to take our rights and go full of fascist. But nope, it's always "waahhhh gop won't let us do anything :cccc" while letting republicans do literally anything they want
Napoleon, despite the whole "overthrowing republic in favour of monarchy" thing is considered to be one of the main reasons the ideals of the Revolution managed to stick in Europe. Napoleonic Code was a piece of legislation far more progressive than most of that era, and continued to be used in many countries that were subservient to Napoleonic France until the 20th century.
Most lemmy instances are overwhelmingly leftist. If you're a leftist, democrats and republicans are to the right of you. So, it's less "both sides" and more "these two things are on the same side, which is to the right of me."
Just this tokenboomer guy posting stuff like this. I swear on this sub, any time it's a crazy "but muh both sides" post, it's this dude. Idk if a troll or a plant or a true believer. But it's just so aggressively something that it does stand out as odd.
I'm glad my country is never ruled by just one party. The neoliberal party needs a coalition with better parties and they actually push some good stuff through. Last time we got free public transit within a county and this time we got same-sex marriage. The neoliberal party has been screwing with the economy though and we got like the highest inflation and highest rise in housing prices in Europe.
