    I don’t think they are just for show. There are differences in which policies each party try to pass. The GOP is clearly fascist. The democratic party are clearly not fascist.

      Totally agree with you here. Also “for show” means that someone is doing a show, which is a weirdly conspiratorial take.

      Yeah, the rich conspire against everyone else and influence both parties in major ways, but the US also is a democracy, you know, where people vote.

          Voting does help American citizens. Not a lot but it does, there is all kind of legislation which has a positive impact.

          I agree that it’s not enough. I agree that other measures need to be taken if possible.

        Yes! They are better than republicans though who would, if they could, bring back racial segregation, probably not even give women a right to vote.

            I said if it was feasible they would. If trump would have tried, he would have been impeached and whatever, assassinated, because the US population wouldn’t accept this mostly.
