I hope your realize that nobody is buying "dems are just as bad" stuff anymore.



I hope you realize no-one is buying "but our billionaires are the good ones!" anymore. Elon was blue until like five years ago. Remember when Bezos was too?


The difference is, rational liberal people who vote Democrat (and don't confuse liberals with leftists) understand that bad actors in a system that is generally resulting in positive US economic growth due to investment in people doesn't mean that we have to tear everything down. Historical data is all there, its undeniable, and not just in the stock market.

The whole reason Democrats are seen as weak is that there are plenty of criticisms of Democrats by other Democrats. Which is a sign of a well functioning party since it keeps is self in check. Of course the clueless idiots in US see this as weakness, but thats just how it is.

Meanwhile Republicans fall unilaterally behind their daddies Trump and Musk, which is why people like you switch up the subject about billionaires instead of pointing out that a guy who does Nazi salutes is in charge of government spending cuts, and managed to accidentally leak national secrets, the same thing that was a major campaign issue when Trump was running against Hillary.

Just to be ultra clear in case you wanna reply with some random talking point about Democrats being bad - there is absolutely nothing that you can say at this point that will ever make the democrats look as bad as Trump or Musk, which is impressive since its only been like 2 months. If you find yourself talking to people that are agreeing with you, just know that you are in an echo chamber, which is something that your side was making fun of people being in.
