Reply to comment by SilverNicktail in New Hampshire House passes cannabis legalization bill that’s sponsored by top Republican and Democratic lawmakers in a rare showing of bipartisan collaboration by OregonTripleBeam

No, I understand that.

I think the guy up top that said at least a decade is probably correct.

Dems and republicans are one and the same. They are one and the same.

Here’s my states two democrats I get to keep in office every few years.

They're demonstrably, blatantly not. To pretend otherwise is to promote voter apathy and enable the GOP's violent fascist rhetoric.

Are the Democrats "good"? - no, I'd like to have an actual progressive party that will do the necessary work to overturn corporate sponsorship of authoritarianism. Does that make them the same as the GOP? No. Members of the GOP are currently proposing, among other things:

  • The abolition of all income taxation
  • The abolition of all social spending
  • The abolition of THE UNITED STATES

The Democrats may not be the party we want, but to call them the same helps only our enemies.

I live in Portland oregon, where I vote for some of the most liberal people in the country to hold office.

Yet, I can’t go to target down the street to buy diapers without stepping over needles. There’s over 6,000 homeless people on the street, and ravaging our public parks. Hearing gunshots is very normal now. So you tell me. Why are these “progressives” failing so hard to run a decent city?
