They're the same thing.
They're the same in principle.
They are not the same in function.
The GOP are the safety backstop for maintaining control when the DNC goes too far too fast.
Remove the backstop and watch the u.s. crack right down the middle.
GOP is the defense, DNC is the offense. One holds the Overton window from going right, the other pushes it to the left.
But the GOP is the exact opposite. It's the Hegelian Dialectic manifest. Both sides have the same goals - to exercise people back to the center.
There isn't a difference between the parties though. We've only developed this idea because the Mockingbird Media has painted the picture. They work for the same people, they have the same sponsors, etc. Treating them as though they are dissimilar is how they keep getting away with pitting the people against each other.
"Treating them as though they are dissimilar is how they keep getting away with pitting the people against each other. "
But arguing they are the same favors civnats, which are just a means of making people shrug and sit on their hands.
They do serve a different function, and its just what I wrote: The GOP are a backstop when the DNC gets out of hand too fast.
One step forward, two steps back, is always the operating manual.
I don't think saying they're the same makes me a civnat, man. I think it makes me apolitical. I don't give a fuck about politics, but I sure can parse it. They serve opposite functions because the DNC has the opposite role when it comes to the GOP not budging fast enough. The system unseats values and is being used to dismantle culture. This is where "Democracy" inevitably leads, in fact.
I think we're agreeing but I'm just finishing the point for you. We agree, it seems. I guess I'm just taking it further.
