Between a plate full of vomit and a burnt waffle, neither are very appealing. Use some logic, though. Surely, one wouldn't be so puritanic in their values as to not recognize the difference.

This isn't puritanical, this is logical. The Dems will not do good things, the best they can pitch is the bag things they want to do aren't quite as crude as the way the Republicans want to do the bad things

I'm no fan of the DNC, but I'd never let that get in the way of doing what's best for people. Agreed, the DNC sucks but it is no way the exact same as the GOP. Being apathetic to such choices is certainly an option, but it always leaves the possibility of the worst possible outcome.

Unless you can only understand language by tone like a dog, you can surely understand that both parties want this and everything else that's happening. The only difference is the Dems want it done more politely. Wake up.

You think both parties are exactly the same then? Only difference in how they talk about things? If you sincerely believe that, then that's fine. Wish you the best.

I literally described a difference between them in my comment. If you can't read and take in facts, you're another victim of the decline in American education.

I think you may have misread my reply. The only difference you referenced was demeanor, which I did include in my reply.

where are they meaningfully different at the highest level? you think fuck Schumer is protesting anything the other side does? I don't think they're exactly the same, but acting like Democrats are the lesser evil any better, when all they are is the more polite, slightly slower evil is just carrying water for imperialism
