    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
