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.

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.
This is where "Democracy" inevitably leads, in fact.
Arguing against 'democracy' falls on deaf ear.
It's arguing against an abstraction vs. a tangible enemy.
One is a boogieman, the other is very real.
System level problems are just ways to mutually masturbate with philosophy while getting into the weeds. It's a hamster wheel for armchair revolutionaries to wax poetic about the struggle while visions of sugarplum fairies and a better mousetrap dance in their heads.
Focus on whats in front of you first.
