The lie is that Democrats are the better choice. They have you locked up and kept lockup in a duopoly that represents the 1% while shitting on the working class. But Democrats are thankful that they at least get some blue shit.

There are politics outside of that duopoly which is why that their opinion and everyone else's opinion politically matters

    So concentration camps, new wars to distract from pedophiles, turning Gaza into a trump resort after removing everyone there, destroying alliances with other countries, getting rid of all trans rights, etc. that's all irrelevant to you? It's the same with all that?!?
    I get that the duopoly sucks and the Democrats are also owned by the billionaires. But the destruction caused by trump will be felt for generations now already. A ground swell at the primaries for progressives can change the Democrats like it has in the past; just refusing to support them only gives power to the gop which is way way worse.

    Concentration camps eh? You remember when the news was going apeshit about how Trump was putting Mexican kids in cages? You ever wonder who built those facilities? Obama built them, while he was dropping a then record number of drones and bombs on the middle east, our worst Repub- wait a minute...

    Gaza, right, the one thing democrats are is anti-israel, that's why they keep voting to give them money and bombs, oh shit wait that's bad..

    Trans, that's why the Dems said that the trans were a thorn in their side that helped Kamala lose, oh whoops that's not good either..

    Fuck maybe they really aren't "the good guys." Better? Maybe, or maybe better at hiding it.

    And none of those things, including Trump, would have been possible without Democrats who gave him to us twice. If Democrats held their own party to the same account that they hold Republicans, things wouldn't be nearly as bad as they are.
