    You’re absolutely right that democrats are performative opposition as well. I remember when Obama was telling Romney that the cold war has been over for a long while. Here’s a clip for anyone who has forgotten: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1409sXBleg

    Then the parties switched opinions on the issue, but you’ll find that the vast majority of both parties will vote towards the same overarching geopolitical goals. There’s a grand script, and although democrats and republicans differ on a number of things, they will not deviate from this grand script. Of course, people here would instead rather argue about the amount of money being sent or “ackshully it’s just equipment” or “ackshully they’re just loans they’ll pay back” but they miss the big picture and would rather just mass downvotes.

      Quickly finding out that Lemmy is no different from reddit in terms of political bias, just one giant “vote blue no matter who” party.
