    One side actively tries to take basic human rights from people, and the other doesn’t. They both may have been bought, but only one is actively trying to make sure groups of people don’t exist

      Right. The republicans are like the cop kneeling on George Floyd’s neck while democrats are like the cop standing to the side watching.

      That’s not necessarily true. The good cop isn’t really trying to look out for you, he’s just there to make the bad cop more effective, but they both want the same thing from you.

      What you said is true, but let’s not do mental gymnastics to get to the conclusion. Actually giving a damn about the people, means actively opposing the bad guys. You pointed out 1 good thing about the dems: being passive. Is that all they’ve got? I have basically the same problem in my country, the quality of life for the average person here got worse more or less constantly in the past 20 years, with any major party in power
