    Little more complicated. Most Democrats want to let Republicans do what they want because both benefit. The ones fighting for social programs are demonized by the corporate Democrats.

      The OOP could be equating corporate Democrats and Republicans (bringing Nazism). Then leaving the other side as actual leftists wanting to bring healthcare

        Unfortunately there’s Democrat hardliners and neo-liberals who will throw a helluva fit when you point this out to them. They don’t understand that neo-liberalism and yes liberalism are ideologies in themselves, and trend more conservative than progressives.

    The media doesn’t think they’re equal. They’re just telling you that they’re equal.

      What the voters want which isn’t at all what the democrats will implement, or even try campaigning on.

      Realistically based on how the ICE/DHS/TSA negotiations are going it’s really just

      we want to throw you in the camps

      we want them to be able to throw you in the camps but in a nicer fashion

    Liberal != Leftism/Socialism/Communism/Anarchist. Liberal is and ideology and used incorrectly in media to purposely confuscate you.

      Sadly still relevant. None the less these style of posts miss the point that while both sides are bad they are not equivalent. Worse still we are untable to make a true left and progressive party in the US.

    And the Dems act as the paid off ref that allows the Nazi side to do whatever it wants and penalizes the healthcare wanting for every breath they take and anything resembling a funny look.
