Haha so funny!
It's very interesting when someone conflates:
"Please stop worshipping this politician, they are not a good person. Here, look, the things you are upset about that this other politician said have also been said by this politician you like. Maybe you're caught up in the political spectacle? Because neither one of these politicians have your best interests at heart."
And:
"ThEyy ARe tHe SaMe!;:; "
Have an actual conversation about facts, and the real things a "representative" has actually done historically. If you believe the electoral system works, then the only way to hold a politician accountable is to make sure they know your values/interests/etc ., and THEN should they not up hold these values, DO NOT vote for them. If you vote for them because they are not the other person, no matter what they do, why would they bother to do anything for you? They know you'll vote for them anyway.
Which I suppose (bit of on the fly analysis here) means the Republicans need the Democrats and the Democrats need the Republicans. Both are easy scapegoats for each other, and make it so the voters will choose the party that presents the image and ideas that you most align with, without ever having to do anything.
It's Utopianism at its finest, and an incredibly effective tool of control.
