And both of them don’t do any of that. Maybe small instances on the dems’ side but really you’re fooling yourself if you think the Democratic Party is anything but a center-right corporate mouthpiece.
democrats expanded healthcare.
democrats expanded voting rights
democrats expanded civil rights
democrats expanded worker rights
democrats brought us daca
I mean, you got a point, but as citizen of Czech Republic, they don’t seem to do enough, and U.S. politics really feels like “right” and “more right”.
You guys need to fix your voting system. (I know it’s easier said than done, my country is about 5th of the age of U.S. Advantage of starting later is a real thing.)
You, like oh so many people, are incorrectly and harmfully putting social progress on the same axis as economic progress, when it is its own axis. And there’s no logical debate that can be had about the social (or Z) axis; one side is bigotry, the other is acceptance. The fact that we tolerate the mere existence of any bigoted politician is a monumental failure of our society, let alone that we allow an entire wing use bigotry as their identity.
When it comes to the X axis of politics, one wing is capitalism, the other communism. This is the only left vs right comparison that should matter; capitalism with a rainbow sticker is still right wing.
It’d be nice if we had any healthy opposition. Instead of a party of tantrum throwers and a party of “if we compromise with fascists, they’ll eventually be satisfied.”
because a healthy opposition is a good thing for getting things done.
Would be nice if we had that. Sadly what we have is two right wing parties.
simply nonsense and silly. right wing parties don’t protect womens rights, immigrant rights, gay rights, trans rights, environmental rights, and healthcare rights.
Ooh now do economic policy, foreign policy and "defense"policy for the past 30 years… 🙄🙄🙄

but sure both parties the same
I didn’t say both parties are the same. I said democrats are mostly center-right corporate mouthpieces.
Republicans are a blend of white nationalist fascists and straight-up deranged ghoulish lunatics.

I didn’t know one of them is leftist. Which party is advocating for the removal of capitalism exactly?
