        if you only understand politics in primary colors, you’ve been brainwashed.

        Conservatives have taken away civil righs and quality of life, progressives are fighting to peeserve and expand civil rights and quality of life.

        They are completely different.

            because, you fucking dolt, rich assholes pay for influence regardless of policy.

            that has no bearing, you brain dead idiot, on the fact that progressives protect civil rights and expand quality of life through much of their policy, while conservatives rescind civil rights and decrease quality of life through their policy, you dumbass.

              And selling influence to the same people makes the parties different how? Those billionaires are influencing both parties to do the same things, they wouldn’t pay if it didn’t return. Democrats are exactly as corrupt and bloodthirsty as republicans, just more “civil” about it. It’s a good cop/bad cop routine, quit being gullible.

                You are not even close. That’s like saying, “cows are spiders, because both of them are animals.”

                They are both animals and are fundamentally different animals.

                The parties are different because they pass different policies that have completely different effects on the country.

                Conservatives remove civil rights from people.

                Progressives protect and expand civil righta for people.

                Those are opposite laws that affect the citizens.

                Civil forfeiture:

                under progressive law, you get to keep your property if the police arrest you in your car.

                under conservative law, your property is forfeited to the police if they arrest you in your car.

                In one situation, you get to keep your car. In the other situation, you don’t get to keep your car.

                Those are opposite practical effects from the two different parties in the US.
