My point is only one party accepts money from them. One party wants fascism. The other wants oligarchical capitalism.
Hate both, don't conflate both.
Oligarchal capitalism is fascism. Fascism js essentially the combination of corporste power and government or corporatism. The democrats are fascist lite but still fascist. They took their marching orders from the same billionaires and got us to the precipice of where we are now. They have no remorse and just continue to make excuses. Read the writing on the wall ffs.
No, it really isn't though.

They both suck, but let's be clear about why they suck. Oligarch capitalism sucks because of wealth disparity and financial oppression.
Fascism sucks because of the punishing of "out" groups and strict social control. And also wealth disparity and financial oppression.
Capitalists don't care if you're gay or black as long as you have money.
Democrats were all in on the immigrant/crime panic and supported the violent squashing of protests against their genocide. To act like they aren't also guilty of "punishing of out group and strict social control" is just apologia.
I don't see the point of yourblast paragraph...do you believe capitalism is just voluntary exchange and that's the only way wealth transfer happens? They want your money and they will take it any way they can. Fascism is a form of capitalism...
