      Exactly. America has moved so far to the right that the “leftist” party is swarmed with people like Joe Manchin, and it’s presidential candidate is the author of the god awful crime bill that’s worked to imprison untold numbers of people unjustly and along racial lines disproportionate. And supports genocide. And censures it’s only Palestinian congresswoman for….pointing out the reality of what’s going on.

      Lovely country. Lovely I tell you.

      At least our national parks are nice.

          Good catch on the typo; updated accordingly.

          I didn’t say they’re the same parties. I said both right wing. The democrats are a right wing party. The republicans are…a right-er wing party determined to cosplay their way into abject fascism.

          There is no true left wing party that is currently viable in America. That needs to change. The two party system is an abomination and it’s stranglehold on the country is both pathetic and infuriating.
