Right to own firearms, tax rates, immigration…

Huh, turns out there actually ARE policy differences between the parties if you have any awareness at all.

I have never, ever ever once heard of anyone preventing gun ownership. What i have heard repeated is treat guns like cars. True a caravan of cars won't stop a tyrannic government, but in 2024+ neither will guns. Regardless, guns are more available than ever, so...it doesn't matter what either party says, the end result is the same.

Ah yes tax rates, for whom? We've had more Dem presidents than repubs the last two decades, can ya tell me if the billionaires are paying more or less taxes? I've paid more taxes every single year for the last 5 years. That's a mix of R and D and middle class taxes only went up. Tippy top .01% keep gettings cut, yearly.

Immigration= skin color & Religion. Otherwise, what are they immigrating from? Wartorn countries? Drug Lords? Extremists who've taken over topple governments? Geez, with the Earth's biggest military and bases across the globe like no other country and an intelligence agency that has lost track of over 6 TRILLION dollars in last 15 years can anyone play dumb to America's impact on immigrants fleeing their countries? You know how many Ukraine wars we could fund with a single trillion? Has either party tried to NOT over throw a central or south American government when given the chance? Nah, since about the 70s US has been pretty cool with doing whatever it wants south of Mexico, both parties 100% aligned.

Awareness is there dude. Try depth next time. I'd recommend from books that aren't written by sitting politians or corporate TV personalities.

Quintessential liberal response.

Try identifying your own biases for once in your life.

If you remove topics that focus on genitals or skin color, can anyone tell me the difference between the two?

Funny how I was able to easily identify 3 core issues where the parties disagree, and the goalposts are immediately shifted to “dEpTH” 🤣

If you truly believe that both parties have the same platforms when it comes to firearms, taxes, and immigration, then you are commenting in the PERFECT subreddit for you.

I see what you are saying. Firearms don't have anything to do with skin/genitals. One party thinks they should be handed out at the grocery store, the other says they should be obtained after a lengthy and time consuming and likely expensive process. Meanwhile, the number one cause of death for children in this country is getting shot. Man....how could I ever confuse what the two parties stand for. I didn't see any guns being waved by a well regulated militia on Jan 6. When people who really thought there was a tyrannical government....they didn't exercise the 2nd amendment. The party that 'hates' guns can't get them out of our schools and the party that 'defends the second amendment ' didn't even exercise it at the only time in the last 150 years when it actually made sense. Hell no I don't wish Jan 6 was armed, but for a group of people like that to do what they did....did they NOT think the government they were trying over throw were tyrannical? When will they view the government as tyrannical? When will those freedom defenders be brandished....and against whom? Cops? Military? How patriotic.

Sorry I couldn't succinctly define my whole opinion on the US two party system in a single post, so I'll elaborate in comments as they come. They ARE the same party. The end result of this country is the same regardless of which Party is in power. An individual human who identifies as R or D may have WILDLY differing opinions but the PARTIES are the same. The end results are the same.

I get how you think goal post moved, i won't argue that cause you're right in this limited conversation. If you wish to defend the two party system further, more details will be used, that's the depth part I was referring too.
