Let's not be stupid and pretend for a second that the Dems and GOP are the same.

Biden and the establishment Dems are certainly corporation loving whores who are ok with atrocities so long as they make money off it. This is true.

But Biden et al didn't fundamentally end US democracy, mass revoke the rights of all US citizens, create the most well funded secret police to send minorities to concentration camps foreign and domestic, give full unrestricted support to Israel to complete the genocide and attack it's neighbors, alienate all of our allies, crash our economy nor launch the biggest domestic spy system in US history. (All of this since Jan 20th this year, BTW)

    No, of course not. Dems rarely get any real power. They're controlled opposition.

    Liberals operate as a placeholder for when plutocrats need to diffuse public outrage at the current leadership. And they are a means of temporarily gentling harsh, unpopular measures without actually removing them.

    Most importantly, they're deliberately weak, incompetent, and disappointing. Merrick Garland is a great example of a modern American liberal. Pete Buttigieg and Kamala Harris, too.

    But Biden et al didn’t fundamentally end US democracy

    He ended it when he allowed his political opposition to go back to business as usual with no legal consequences. Ffs, Cruz and Hawley were glad-handing the crowd during J6. Charlie Kirk paid to bus people in - by extension making Foster Friese and Robert Mercer financially complicit in the resulting riots.

    Never even mind Trump. You have a congo line of activists and financial bankers who organized a coup on the US Congress. Biden didn't do shit about them. Instead, he unleashed his attack dogs on... Columbia student protesters.

    Biden ended democracy the day he walked out of his office and handed the keys to the Trump administration, fully knowing what they intended 4 years in advance.
