Edited to add - To be clear for anyone, it's Oligarchs/Billionaires paired with rampant, unfettered corporate greed. (at least in my view)

Someone reminded me that I was using dogwhistle parlance in my use of they which may have suggested otherwise.

Here are some visual aids to accompany my clarification:

Surely it's the opposing team in the political theater that is to blame

Left: "We should have socialized healthcare, education, and housing."

Right: "We should have rent-seeking in healthcare, education, and housing."

You: "Both sides are the same."

Please don't confuse performance and policy. Obviously the Democrats must give pro-social concessions to stay in power and the Republicans are now all-in on performative cruelty but neither one will ever touch the structural cruelty inherent to our society.

US Democrats are not our kind of left. Hence why you should support actually left leaning candidates who present sound policy when possible.
