"The whole system is broken" is so nebulous a critique as to be meaningless. The system exhibits specific problems for which there are certain rememdies. The reasons for the lack of attempt for these remedies range from corruption to lack of political will.

If what you're actually saying is "we need to burn it all down and start over" please kindly say so and you're welcome to go on my block list with all the other Saturday Morning Cartoon Revolutionaries without the faintest conception of the vast ocean of suffering you would unleash on your countrymen.

The post I replied to was not a well reasoned critique of the Democratic party; it was a false equivalency. Mine, however, did contain a fairly specific critique of Democrats. I have adopted the nuance you mentioned. The question is why you're choosing to ignore that.

Weird, I feel like "both sides" rhetoric is delusional and anyone spouting it at this point is covering for fascist garbage.

Democrats have a corporate tit sucking problem and aren't doing enough. Republicans are trying to burn down the planet by doing the opposite of whatever knowledgeable people tell them should be done. These two groups are not the same, OBVIOUSLY.

Every group has problems, Democrats are not angels. This is not news to anyone. "Ackthually, both sides" isn't a well considered rhetorical position, it's a suicide note.

Dude you can describe anything this way to make it sound boring, but that doesn't even get close to reality and I think you know that deep down. I don't even like sports and this is a senselessly reductive way of framing the discussion.

Oh I'm pretty sure the rich entrenching their power goes back a wee bit longer than 2 centuries. Ask a feudal peasant.

At some point it's not a tip, it's a customer driven wage subsidy. Like if a McDonald's employee asked for a contribution to their living expenses on Gofundme.

There are certain advantages to StigmataOS, but unfortunately it gets a little runny when it's hot.
