Red Team is like 95% captured, but Blue Team is only like 60% captured. This meme bears some truth, but there is a very meaningful difference between them.
More like 3/4
Closer to 99-85 federally but your point is still equally important.
they are both capitalist parties. there is no effective difference between them.
One party will try to avoid looking like it’s letting the rich rob me. The other will rob me itself, let the rich take anything it missed, then send me to a concentration camp to be killed.
exactly. one party has an opportunity to save your life, but pretends it can’t. while it lets the other party take the “blame”. while both parties enjoy the profit.
there is no effective difference between them.
Then it shouldn’t be hard for you to justify why the Democrats would be doing all the shit that they’ve been railing against.
After all, there’s no effective difference, right?
RIGHT??
i don’t understand your reply. the dems and reps do things for profit and marketing and control. nothing else.

So then justify why the Democrats would be doing the shit that Republicans are doing. Clearly you know how the profit motive will make Democrats do shit like use ICE to snatch people off the street or murder them in cold blood.
Or are you now trying to move the goalposts once someone actually points out how this facile argument falls apart when you put the slightest bit of thought into the statement? You can make an argument that they make similar choices because of the profit motive, but if you think there’s no effective difference, you should have no issue supporting your statement.
i’m saying they both don’t mind what is happening and use each other as the blame when the parties in power shift. this has the result of two things: a) making a lot of people a lot of profit and b) moving the overton window ever to the right.
i am saying the lack of actual actionable output and outcomes from the dems when they are in charge results in the reps doing more damage and it’s done that way on purpose. don’t act like dems didn’t support israel’s genocide when they were in power, they just kept silent about it.
Literal days after Mamdani won his primary the DNC chair gave an interview about how candidates like him are the future of the party…
Mamdani, the guy saying if Netenyahu steps foot in his city, he’ll be arrested.
That is what the DNC wants to see as the future of the party.
Reposting these old ass outdated memes only depresses progressive turnout which neoliberals are desperate to do so they can claw back the party…
It’s just always so hard to tell if the people helping the neoliberals are doing it intentionally, or are just so politically ignorant they haven’t noticed we got the DNC back after 2024.
Ofc they will give this kind of interview after he won. Are you new to politics? How old are you
Did you miss that was after the primary but before the general?
Or do you legitimately think it’s a good idea for the DNC to put their finger on the scales and endorse a fucking mayornin a primary?
Because that second one is literally the problem that’s been fucking us for generations when the neoliberals held the DNC…
I don’t need to ask any insulting rhetorical questions like you did, because my goal is you actually understanding this, not a slap fight.
The DNC is split between the old guard and the new. This is why it’s very important to select the candidates like Mamdani or AOC but don’t be under the illusion that that is whom the old guard want - they didn’t support Mamdani at all. Which means the internal selection for candidates is where the change has to occur to get the bulk of the old guard out.
An election must be coming…
The morons post this shit in Lemmy year round. By their own bs, if you’re a dem “you SuPpOrT gEnOcIdE”… just like Mamdani.
I’ve noticed in the last week it’s increased
Israel commits war crimes.
“Hurr durr both are the same, Mamdani ran on dem ticket but I am OH SO smart…”
This is “rock bottom” thinking.
When the hasbara confirms horseshoe theory yet again
Worry that the Democrats and Republicans are just two faces of the capitalist genocide party: Valid
Concern that posting memes about the capitalist genocide party during an election lowers turnout for the capitalist genocide candidate that goes easier on the marginalized: Valid
Demanding that others not make memes complaining about the capitalist genocide party out of fear it hurts voter turnout for the capitalist genocide candidate who goes easier on the marginalized: …
