You are right but just wanted to tell you that the Democrats are just as bad. If you understand American history and what USA truly is today you can get a better understanding. My point is that both parties are sides of the same coin

Strong disagree. Democrats still believe in the rule of law, the democratic process, and haven't tried to overthrow the federal government.

They also have no problem kicking people out of power that have broken laws or even just violated accepted standards of behavior.

That's obviously because they want votes. If I were to run a political party I wouldn't say stupid things. I would be diplomatic.

A political party should be doing positive things to get my vote. If they stop doing things that I like, they do not get my vote. That’s kinda the great thing about democracy.

This isn’t the rhetorical slam dunk you think it is, but go on.

Well, I knew I would get this response telling Americans USA sucks so it wasn't really intended to be a slam dunk.

If you have done a lot of research on the constitution and political affairs of USA, and you think I'm wrong that's fine. But if you haven't read any books or read online I think it's unfair of you to dismiss the possibility. Kanye said Bush doesn't care about black people, I think the USA doesn't care about its citizens. In the EU they protect the people a lot more extensively.

Lmao, I have one of the best public educations in the country, a degree in English with a literature concentration, and am currently in law school. My knowledge of American political history is pretty deep and intimate.

I agree that many US elites do not care about the proletariat. The Republican Party is overwhelmingly trying to strip freedom from citizens. The policies of the democrats are more in favor of those who labour so I vote in that interest.

If you knew about american you’d know it’s pointless to judge either one on their past. The Republican Party hasn’t been progressive since Roosevelt, and the democrats lost their conservatives following the voting rights act. It’s much more imperative to vote on policy, of which the Republican Party really has none.
