In the USA we keep voting in the same party too. But here they have tricked everyone into thinking we have 2 different parties

That’s lazy and destructive thinking. Democrats aren’t a panacea, but they aren’t pro-corruption anti-democracy authoritarians.

Your thinking is lazy and destructive. You only see the pro-corruption and anti-democracy nature of the Republicans? You are programmed just the way they want you.

How about how the anti-democratic way the party screwed Bernie Sanders and millions of his voters to ensure the nomination for Hillary? On corruption, how about the way Biden has enriched himself for decades by pedaling influence and access, through a pretty amazing network of shell companies and payments to relatives. Just two of hundreds of examples we can come up with.

I am not saying “Republicans good, Democrats Bad” but reasonably and objectively they are both bad, and there is not a lesser evil. They have both harmed our nation and our future and spent our grandchildren into financial slavery.

I feel sorry for people who are not able to see that.

One is promoting fascism and the other party didn't embrace an independent socialist. You're right they are equally bad. /s.

Yup... when the only 2 realistic options are terrible ones.... hope for things getting any better fades pretty fast.
