    Not that the Democrats are that much better, but for the most part they’re still active participants in trying to maintain a shared reality.

    I would say that alone makes them much better. Stop with this “both sides” bullshit, that ship has sailed.

      “One side wants a fascist autocratic regime and the other wants universal healthcare but has some moderate members backed by corporations. Both sides, am I right?”

      In my mind, the Democrats don’t go far enough to the Left (just look at the recent Railworker’s strike), granted they are head and shoulders above anything the Republicans are doing and about the only choice we have at the polls anymore, but pretending like they’re perfect is just as bad as pretending like there’s no difference between Democrats and Republicans (“both sides”).

        But there’s a huge range between “both sides are almost the same” and “democrats are perfect”
