Yes, both Republicans and Democrats are exactly the same, except that one of the two parties wants to have a version of Christianity be the state-sponsored religion, not allow women to have rights to their own body, eliminate all regulations on corporations, destroy environmental protections of every kind, eliminate all rights for LGBTQ+ people, eliminate marriage equality across the board (incl. Loving v. VA!), prevent workers from unionizing or otherwise eliminating the rights of labor, ban books and criminally punish media sources that don’t align with their beliefs, eliminate progressive income taxation in favor of regressive sales taxes and tariffs, prevent people from protesting peacefully for the regress of grievances… But you know, other than those minor points, sure, they’re exactly the same.

Do I love Democrats? No, absolutely not. I think that they should be quite a bit more forceful in pushing things that genuinely benefit the majority of people in the US, I think they should be working strongly against regulatory capture, and against the entrenched interests of major businesses that are harmful to the people, and I’m ashamed that they are largely not willing to condemn Israel for the overt genocide against the Palestinian people while also wanting to punish people that have advocated for Palestinians. (And as far as the last one goes, there are a lot of reasons that establishment Dems are unwilling to work against Israel; for most Republicans, that particular issue boils down to religion, specifically an evangelical belief that a Jewish state must exist in order for Christ to return.)

…But anyone who says that "Republicans and Democrats are the same" is, at best, disingenuous, and at worst actively and intentionally lying.
