    Are there some fundamental differences between Dems and GQP? Sure, some, but as a person who has taken an outside view of politics through expanding my political knowledge and understanding, when it comes down to it they only have surface level differences. When Madami was running for Mayor of New York the Democrat establishment threw every nasty thing they could to STOP him. Get this straight, they would have rather a MAGA win than an avowed Democratic Socialist. THAT tells me what I really need to know about the majority of the Democrats in the party.

      At this point, the difference is mostly in stability. It’s highly unlikely that Harris would have slapped a bunch of tarrifs around willy nilly, and she probably wouldn’t be blowing up a bunch of ships near Venezuela (I wouldn’t rule it out, but I would assume that the false flag operation would be more subtle).

      US voting is 100% picking the lesser evil, at least for now. The current hope would be that democratic socialists gain enough standing to take over the democratic party, so that voters have meaningful choice. In an ideal world, we’d repeal things like citizens united as well
