    You Americans are really weird in that regard. As a foreigner, both your parties are fucking horrible. To demonstrate what I mean: one party wants to ban abortions, the other party says that unless you vote for them, the bad guys will take away your abortions and then they proceed to do absolutely nothing about it.

    So yeah, one of your parties is almost cartoonishly evil, the other is plain old adult-level evil.

    It’s not that democrats are any better than republicans, they’re just smarter about pretending they’re not evil.

      This is not only incredibly reductionist, it’s just flatout wrong. How can people still tout this “both parties are the same” bullshit?

      It’s gonna get real hard to keep it up in a few months when we start to see the real world implications of a second Trump regime.

        Again, this is a foreigner view. Maybe it’s different when you actually live there, though I doubt it. But from my point of view, both parties suck extremely and unless you somehow manage to get a 3rd party to win, you’re fucked for eternity. Both parties have no reason to make anything better if they know you’ll vote for one of them anyway.
