When the constitutional lawyer Barack Obama ran for president, he said that the was against warrentless mass surveillance.
When Snowden revealed the wide use of the PRSIM and Five Eyes agreements to enable mass surveillance of multiple countries without court order, Obama then had Snowden’s passport revoked while he was looking for political asylum, and said:
On June 19, 2013, U.S. president Barack Obama, during a visit to Germany, stated that the NSA’s data gathering practices constitute “a circumscribed, narrow system directed at us being able to protect our people”.[21]
Obama didn’t reel in the NSA when it was made public, as a constitutional lawyer because it was trying to stop terrorists. Like how Bush did. Like how Trump did. Like how Biden did. Like how Trump is now.
They don’t care about you. They want you to think they do. But if they did, they’d end the panopticon state. Obama didn’t even close GitMo.
The phrase is “two sides of the same coin”. Meaning exactly what you are saying. That they are both the capitalist party. As opposed to another proverbial coin, that of the socialists, anarchists, Monarchist, etc.
Can’t you guys get neologisms and irony? I KNOW what is the original idiom. HOWEVER, I’m deliberately changing it to mean there isn’t even a simulacrum of difference between Democrats and Republicans. Ah, the eternal marvel of the English language: its breathtaking inability to stray from a pre-written script. No wonder it’s the language of contracts, with every clause so exquisitely, flawlessly delineated. Naturally, people then start behaving as if they’re perpetually executing contracts with one another, forever in hot pursuit of pecuniary advantage. And from that, of course, sprang Common Law, Capitalism, and Imperialism - what a coincidence. It’s just so delightfully easy to build colonies and murder on an industrial scale when the target is nothing more than a number. Precisely because they can’t think beyond greed and individualism, they end up so utterly, pathetically lost the moment they set foot in collectivist countries.

I will grant you that both parties serve monied interests and share a lot of the same agenda. However, one party has been working for generations to roll back rights for women, POC, LGBTQIA+ to the 1950s.
The US and Israel were trying to push the women’s rights angle with their manufactured protests, then bombed a girls school killing ~150 mostly schoolchildren.
I swear by LinkedIn, “disruption,” and the invisible hand of the market that I will fulfill this oath to the best of my metric-driven ability.
I will critique my teachers for their lack of personal branding.
I will inform every patient that their illness is, ultimately, a failure of hustle culture, poor risk management, and not having a diverse investment portfolio.
I will refuse deadly drugs but will absolutely shame you for buying avocado toast instead of a high-deductible health plan.
Whatever house I enter, I will come for the sick — and leave a QR code to my Substack explaining how bootstraps could have prevented all of this.
I will not repeat what I see or hear in private — but I will monetize the general vibe as a case study in “choice architecture.”
If I keep this oath, may I achieve synergistic growth. If not… well, the market will correct you, not me.
Rights violations in Iran was one of their many post-excuses for invading, while doing the literal same things domestically.
Hypocrisy is a requirement in the Republican party. They are not ashamed of it.
There. I fixed it for you.
Broadening the blame away from the worst offender only serves to help the worst offenders get away with it.
Stop it.

No one is doing that, liberal. Reds and Blues are the same face of the same fucking coin.

You mean the two faces of the same fucking coin.
Nope, they’re the same fucking party: the Capital’s party, that is.

They are bound to the hypocritic oath.
