bOtH sIdEs BaD is a tool used to sanewash the right
“There is only one party in the United States, the Property Party … and it has two right wings: Republican and Democrat. Republicans are a bit stupider, more rigid, more doctrinaire in their laissez-faire capitalism than the Democrats, who are cuter, prettier, a bit more corrupt — until recently … and more willing than the Republicans to make small adjustments when the poor, the black, the anti-imperialists get out of hand. But, essentially, there is no difference between the two parties.”
― Gore Vidal
That's all you have. Still 2 options. Work with it instead of excluding your only chance

fuck that entire shithole.
Both sides, Republicans and Democrats, ARE THE RIGHT. Both are pro war. Both are pro billionaire. Both are pro Israel. Both are pro genocide. Leftists have been screaming for years about the rise of fascism and were ignored for years. Now we have been proven right, again and again, and now are telling you, the democrats are 100% compromised, there is no saving them, and both parties must be dissolved. Now please, stop dividing the working class, if you want justice for the Epstein files, if you want this country to stop waging imperialist wars of aggression, if you want to stop fascism, we need to STAND TOGETHER FIRMLY against the ruling class.
I ain't standing with Nazis, dawg. You can both sides all you want, but one side is fucking Nazis.
Yes, THE RULING CLASS, they're the fucking nazis. Wake the fuck up, the Democrats are ALSO nazis.
One hand washes the other. They are different hands but they work together to sanewash each other. Biden sat on terrabytes of evidence but didn't go after the pedos because it implicates Israel. Boths sides are bad, but in appreciaticely different ways
Biden sitting on the pedo files is a symptom of Dems caring more about decorum than they do results. It's part of why they keep getting obliterated by Trump.
Biden didn't sit on the pedo files. It's the DOJ. Not the president.
Oh please. He appointed Merrick Garland to head the DOJ. "Investigate pedophiles" could have easily been one of the requirements for him to nominate
Still doesn't change who is in charge of the mechanism.
Yes, the President. The Attorney General serves at the pleasure of the President. If they aren't doing the thing you appointed them for, then you appoint a new one.
Lmao tell that to the current administration. It goes back to what I was just saying, Trump uses his DOJ as a tool in a way Biden never did. Not that Trump actually got the results he wanted, but that's beside the point.
Just because our current administration tells lies doesn't mean you need to believe them or expect better. You're being part of the problem by not understanding how the mechanism of our system works.
Trump has continued to break the law in every way possible and your defense is "why didn't other presidents break the law?"
Gee. Lemme fuckin think...
So your argument is "why didn't Biden become a dictator first"?
Not sure how you got that other than arguing in bad faith. Democrats are paralyzed into inaction as Republicans fling shit at the wall until something sticks. This paralysis is why a person like Biden would sit on those files for four years, fearing he would appear partisan if he pushed for their release.
He didn't "sit on the files". They were under DOJ's purview, because there used to be three separate branches of government that checked and balanced one another. I'm not saying the DOJ under Biden didn't absolutely drop the ball, because they did. I'm just saying that Trump's weaponizing of the DOJ is antithetical not to "decorum", but to democracy. Biden doing it first would have constituted executive overreach just as much as Trump doing it now.
Which branch of the government does the DOJ belong to? Who's at the top of that branch?
Fair point. But there did used to be three branches that checked one another. The reason DJT can effectively do whatever he wants through the DOJ is because those checks and balances are no longer in place. If Biden had tried to do with DOJ what Trump has done (which I still would argue that he absolutely should not have), the USSC would have had something to say about it—similar to how they checked him when he (with Sec of Ed) attempted to forgive roughly half a trillion dollars of student debt.
To be clear, I'm not saying Biden (or his executive branch or the 117th congress or the USSC) was effective or.. idk, good? They absolutely weren't. I'm saying that for Biden to weaponize various departments and agencies (even for the arguable benefit of Americans), he'd have had to have engaged in the same slide into authoritarianism that Trump has.
Decorum is what they say publicly but let's be real, the results the Dems care about is campaign funding. They don't stand up to AIPAC or their extralegal operations because they're afraid of their money.
Not investigating rapists and insurrectionists is decorum?
It is for any democrat who makes it into significant power, yes. Gotta work within that system for slow gradual improvements that can be easily undone.
blue magats can fuck off and die, shithole country of barbarians.
