    I mean, what’s a social issue you might care about? Trans rights? Sure, let’s go with that. Which party issued guidance for including gender identity under Title IX protections? And which party is in charge in the states with bathroom bills?

    What about economic and industrial policy? Which party was in charge to block the Kroger-Albertsons merger? Under which party was the Skydance-Paramount merger completed?

    Which party’s NLRB overruled Specialty Healthcare, and which one restored it?

    Which party is cracking around the question of enternal military support for Israel, and which party still steadfastly supports them?

    Decorum my ass. Build anything, literally anything, that’s nearly as effective as a fucking vote and I’ll spare you a thought. But this “Don’t vote” bullshit is tired as fuck. It doesn’t educate workers about about what to do, and it’s actually fucking incorrect.

      Which party did Stonewall and other such things - the actual things that improved LGBT rights, rather than politicians doing lip service after the fact?
      Both parties are similarly awful in this regard.

      What about economic and industrial policy?

      Both parties want to use the economy to subjugate, torture, and kill people outside of NATO. That includes me, as well as a bunch of other people from this site, by the way.
      Both parties are also interested in keeping your domestic working class in awful conditions.
      So, for the vast majority of humanity, there is no difference here.

      Which party’s NLRB overruled Specialty Healthcare, and which one restored it?

      Notably, neither party has given you good healthcare despite their ability to.

      Which party is cracking around the question of enternal military support for Israel, and which party still steadfastly supports them?

      Both parties support Pissrael. Stop memory holing the recent Dem administration’s full support for the genocide after its escalation (remember, the genocide started about a century ago at least), even doing things like the war crime pier.
      Not even sure why you even think that the blue fascists have been in any way reconsidering support for their asset. This is, frankly, just your fan fiction.

      Decorum my ass

      You haven’t pointed to any differences between the parties other than that.

      Build anything, literally anything, that’s nearly as effective as a fucking vote and I’ll spare you a thought

      That’s a very low bar. Lying in bed and reading - especially educational stuff - would be more effective than voting in the US.

      It doesn’t educate workers about about what to do, and it’s actually fucking incorrect

      If it was as incorrect as you claim it to be, you would have been able to show results. And yet, it’s just a couple of centuries of failures, colonialism, and genocides.

      Which party is cracking around the question of enternal military support for Israel, and which party still steadfastly supports them?

      The leadership of the Democratic party is 100 percent in full support of Isreali genocide and fascism.
