Further, I have never said "both sides are the same." I have said that both sides serve the capitalist class. My point is that both the Democrats and Republicans are enormously unpopular, and voting was largely against Republicans, rather than for Democrats. Neither party has the trust of the working class, and voting is treated exactly as a lesser of two evils. A better system is necessary, and this cannot happen through the Democrats. permalink fedilink source parent
