    Yes and no. The two parties are different but they’re both politically Right Wing. So cut from the same cloth but made into different outfits. They both believe at their core that a societal elite is best suited to rule but the Democrats believe in a bigger more inclusive elite than Republicans.

      Fascism vs not fascism is not cut from the same cloth. Democrats are not from the same cloth as Republicans. They’re still an issue and bad. But saying they’re the same cloth? No.

      Dems actually do things for the poors like me even if it just political posturing

        Politics is a spectrum. The farther right you go, the narrower the ruling elite. Absolutely monarchy or dictatorship is the farthest right you can go. Fascism is a flavor of that but distinct from say a monarchy that is equally far-right.

        Sure. The parties aren’t identical. But, things like the Rachet Effect are real and destructive to the working class and the country.
