Nooo it's not america that's bad! See we were actually tricked by "Insert name of other nation"!

Not our fault! Now as soon as a dem gets to power everything will change!

I see why Republicans say "Better Vote Russian than Democrat" as a new slogan now.

Yall still think there's really any difference between dems and reps? Apart from the fact that one is simply more honest about his actions

A common mistake a lot of people make (me included) is thinking that being honest about corruption is better than closeted about corruption so the former is acceptable.

Also yes, there is a difference otherwise neither party would care which side you vote and they wouldn't spend 240 years gerrymandering voting districts. Not to mention only one party is charging global tariffs right now, starting a new war causing prizes to skyrocket, and is the proud recipient of the Fifa Peace Prize.

Did the direction of the us change in any way when it came to imperialism when either dems/reps were in power?

Yes, there are changes.

For instance, directly abducting a foreign president from a country that starts with the letter V which is a world first and only instance. Also there's only one party that ever starts new wars.

If you're thinking about another country that involves the letters I and P, then too bad there's no difference, but that's precisely what half the voters on both sides also wanted. Can I now declare all American voters are just the same and there's no dofference?

Edit: To add, at least the American sphere of influence is dying now, which is one of the very few good things under Trump as I'm anti-imperialism.

Imperialism didn't start yesterday, the list is way longer, also about the abduction thing, just Because they did it directly without just funding a fascist paramilitary group to do it for them doesn't really change much.

The methods change but the purpose is the same, if i punched you directly instead of paying someone else to do it, the objective would still be the same, you wouldn't say i changed much.

About Palestine, since 1946ish the us and europe fully supported israel in it's apartheid colonial project, and today in it's accelerated genocide of the palestinians. If you were to ask each one of the us politicians, from trump to bernie sanders, they would all be zionists.

Both dems and reps are nothing more than the dogs of the bourgeoisie, for they directly act in their stead

Honestly? While I still think this is oversimplifying complex democratic institutions to a monolith, your point is very solid, both parties are answering to money and the rich, and I already believe billionaires should never exist and are a danger to humanity.

Voting for the worst option is not a great solution though
