          Depends on how relative do you want to be. Are they actually left wing? No, not really, center-right at best. But if you talk about American politics, then there is a left wing and a right wing, relatively, and Dems are what constitute as left, by definition.

              I bloody love the state of discourse here, immaculate. You fuckers can’t read for shit, but the worst part you don’t seem to even try. I just hope you at least get some sort of satisfaction out of that, otherwise it would be even more sad, really.

                I took your relative argument and applied it to another example to show how ridiculous it was.

                To do so I had to have read and understood your previous comment.

                Rather than respond on topic you decided to move to personal insults, which are a waste of time on an anonymous forum.

      It’s not 1792. Things change over time. Saying that these two parties are the same because they started for the same reason is really ignoring what’s happening today.

          Never said they were left. I said they were the only viable opposition party (as in, opposition to the Republicans) and that they are more left than MAGA.

          And also, so what? Are you saying we should let the far right win?

            The opposition to a Right wing party is not a far right wing party. The Democrats do not oppose any Republican policies except for the issues invented to distract (trans, abortion, etc.). Any issues that put corporations over people, both parties are fully aligned.

              Ok, yes, they are aligned with capital. Saying trans rights and abortion rights are just a distraction is pretty dismissive of people actually dealing with the consequences of Republican policies though. If you’re saying you can’t tell the difference then you’re actively ignoring problems minorities are facing and I can’t help you pull your head out of the ground.

                I’m not dismissing the problem of the minorities. My point is that 1% of people are trans, and <1% of them play high level competitive sports. But they receive >10% of Trump time. This is by design. A distraction away from the 53% completion of project 2025
