    Both parties both suck, but they are not equally awful. "Both parties are the same" is a libertarian-brained oversimplification.

    And as someone else pointed out, stuff like "the uniparty" makes us sound like cranks. Even if you think it's true, you have to find a way to communicate it that people will respond to.

      "Both parties are bad" - true, grounded in theory, many people already agree with this

      "Both parties are the same" - objectively false, literally fascist propaganda, makes you sound like a crank, most Americans' lived experiences directly contradict this

        I'm flattered I have a fan club. But if you are keeping tabs on specific posters in a niche communist forum and if you think "Democrats suck but aren't as awful as Republicans" is a defense of Democrats, buddy you need to log the fuck off.
