2 years and 9 months on this account. I see plenty of claims that people say it, but I don’t really see people saying it. And yes I know someone has, there will always be dumbasses and trolls. But I think these types of posts only exist to dismiss any valid criticism of the Democratic party. In my experience, most people are pointing out how Democrats and Republicans align on specific policies and say “they’re the same” in that specific context. But, many people lack reading comprehension and immediately laumch into “how could you think both parties are 100% the same!?”
No, the OP of this chain has it correct. I don’t think Democrats are directly as bad as Republicans,(in fact the theater wouldn’t be as effective if they were). I see them as enablers.
I see them as people who were elected to keep the flood gates secure, but instead when the flood came they opened the gates wide, and flooded the citizenry.
Democrats aren’t bad because of some policy overlap, they’re bad because whenever its time to be opposition to Republicans they fold. Hell they fight progressive candidates in their own party harder than they ever fight Republicans. FFS, after Jan 6, Biden was calling for “Bi-partisanship” with an openly hostile party.
Democrats are Fascism Enablers, which in the end does make the math come out to being just as bad as the Republicans.

There are plenty in this thread, and certainly in any context that involves discussion with .ML.
