So both sides are the same after all.

The Duopoly ends when we dump both parties

They're not the same. They do have the same bosses, though. So it stands to reason they're both moving us towards the same goals.

both moving us towards the same goals.

So they are both the same. I don't know why Americans still think they aren't.

No, they're not. There are plenty of sifferences. Most are superficial, but they're differences nontheless. I don't know why you can't comprehend that there's more than one path to the same goal.

If the same goal is towards fascism, then they are the same.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No, that means they have the same goal, not that they are identical. There are many paths one could take towards that goal.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

So keep voting blue no matter who anyway even if the end goal is fascism. Gotcha.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I did not say that.nor so I endorse that philosophy. My state is solidly blue and doesn't have enough electoral votes to affect the election in any meaningful way. I've been voting third party for almost 30 years because it's the only possible way for my presidential vote to matter at all. It's actually impressive how stupid and wrong your strawman argument is in this case.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But your argument, they are not the same in spite of working towards the same goal. I don't think you realise your contradictions.

"I am walking to the grocery store".
"I am taking a bus to the grocery store".
"I am using an experimental teleporter to warp to the grocery store".

Idk why it seems to be so mind blowing to you, but things can be different even if they end up at the same place

Would we have ICE tearing families apart and going around wearing masks like the Gestapo if Harris were president?

you're an idiot if you actually believe this.

edit: seems there are a lot of idiots.
