My point is only one party accepts money from them. One party wants fascism. The other wants oligarchical capitalism.
Hate both, don't conflate both.
Oligarchal capitalism is fascism. Fascism js essentially the combination of corporste power and government or corporatism. The democrats are fascist lite but still fascist. They took their marching orders from the same billionaires and got us to the precipice of where we are now. They have no remorse and just continue to make excuses. Read the writing on the wall ffs.
No, it really isn't though.

They both suck, but let's be clear about why they suck. Oligarch capitalism sucks because of wealth disparity and financial oppression.
Fascism sucks because of the punishing of "out" groups and strict social control. And also wealth disparity and financial oppression.
Capitalists don't care if you're gay or black as long as you have money.
US capitalists certainly do. I don't know how many more examples it will take for gringos to stop going on about how "this isn't America" like bro that's ALL it's ever been. I can't point to a single time in US history that there haven't at least three ethnic groups persecuted and disenfranchised, and that's without even mentioning the violent political persecution.
If it always pushes racist war criminals to the top, that's what your society was built to do. You don't get a hundred thousand sausages and say "man, we gotta put different meat in, we can't seem to get the machine to make any burgers" like, please look at the fucking mechanisms.
