They're both evil. The differences are superficial and aesthetic. Two heads of the same beast. The machine that enables them is the problem, but it's mostly invisible to people. I'm very tired.

    From the Decemberist revolt in 1825 to 1917 the Russian revolutionaries tried and failed for almost 100 years. Ultimately, what worked was two revolutions. First they had to overthrow the tzar, then the bourgeoisie. And that's where we keep getting stuck. We have to fully hand over control to the Democrats, with no republican veto power. Then, we can defeat the democrats.

        That literally is the middle step using the two revolutions metaphor. Having one ruling party would open the lane for a left party, since we have a two party system, it would surely force progressives out when they fail to reform enough, and it would shrink the GOP numbers, as they get drawn into the Democrat party.

        If there is more support for a left party than there is for a GOP, we will have our success. Probably on a state level first, perhaps California since the GOP is already down to 30% support there.

          This is the dumbest fucking take on the website.

          ??? How are the right going to magically all stop voting for a right wing party?
