    This is not only incredibly reductionist, it’s just flatout wrong. How can people still tout this “both parties are the same” bullshit?

    It’s gonna get real hard to keep it up in a few months when we start to see the real world implications of a second Trump regime.

      Again, this is a foreigner view. Maybe it’s different when you actually live there, though I doubt it. But from my point of view, both parties suck extremely and unless you somehow manage to get a 3rd party to win, you’re fucked for eternity. Both parties have no reason to make anything better if they know you’ll vote for one of them anyway.

        I wish that I wasn’t correct. But I guess all I can say is, get some popcorn and watch the insanity unfold. And do everything you can to stop it from infecting your own country.

        I wonder at what point you will realize that everything you just said in that comment could not have been more wrong. Will it be the the federal ban on abortion and birth control? The mass deportations (that include some US citizens, “whoops”)? Concentration camps? Political prisoners and executions?
