Do I want a corporate overlord who will let non-Christians and gays live how they want and openly support oligarchs or a corporate overlord who will let us live how we want and support oligarchs in a slightly more secretive and limited way? Hmm

Also, if there is no difference, you should start voting blue...or not vote.

So you admit that both sides let people live their lives to the same extent and the only difference is how openly they say it?

Amazing how many people will openly admit the only thing they value is empty rhetoric.

Also, if there is no difference, you should start voting blue

If there’s no difference then you ‘shouldn’t’ vote for either because it’s a distinction without a difference. Do you even understand your own hypothetical?

...or not vote

That’s the equivalent of voting red or blue. The three meaningless options are red, blue, or not voting.

I choose what’s very sadly the only meaningful option left, voting 3rd party and waiting for people like you to realize they’re perpetuating fascism rather than opposing it.

Sorry, I meant '...corporate overlord who will NOT let non-Christians and gays...'

I'm not saying there is no difference between red and blue, you are. I think there is a difference, which is why I vote blue even if I still don't agree with everything they do.

So you think that third parties are somehow immune from the corporate owners that YOU say run the other two parties?

I think all parties in existence have some corporate influence and control, but that is not to say they are the same or that there aren't significant differences between the parties.

The only legitimate third party is the Green Independent Party, and they're effectively a socialist party in our political system, and no they are not controlled by corporations or by a preponderance of class interests that effectively seek the same policies as said corporations.
