>we only have two and neither are.
Both sides are not the same. One side wants to criminalize protests, the other side actually respond to protests. So vote for the side that will listen to protests.

is that so?
it is still impossible to speak about such things here without getting flagged, so all I'm going to say is that I and many other people still remember the events that happened between February 2020 and March 2023.
>between February 2020 and March 2023.
Not sure what you're referring to, but I remember that thing that happened in January 2020, when an insurrection happened. MANY people will never, ever forget that.
Not to nitpick, but the insurrection was in 2021
They're not the same, but they are in agreement about expanding the surveillance state and cracking down on protests. They don't agree on which protests to crack down on, with the exception of anti-war or anti-genocide protests which both deem unacceptable.
I don't agree with that at all. What protests are Democrats cracking down on? And don't try to go back to the 1960's to try to make a point.

They're quite consistent. Under Biden we cracked down on anti-genocide protests just like under Trump.

The Democrat stronghold and seat of power, New York, prohibits any organization boycotting Israel from receiving State contracts or funding. Cuomo was pushing for a redefinition of antisemitism to include opposition to Israel's actions.

When it comes to military activity and foreign financial interests neither will put up with public dissent. The tide on this specific issue seems to be turning, but their genocide defense will no doubt fuel a rise in antisemitism that will hurt jewish people worldwide for decades to come.
