Trudeau decided to go ahead with retaliatory tariffs even though Trump’s order includes a mechanism to escalate the rates if Canada retaliates against the U.S.
Not just the Conservatives; there’s always a cohort of Democrats willing to side with Republicans to make sure the worst ideas make it across the finish line.
Dema haven’t been “on our side” for decades. They’re too busy milking the corporate teat.
They are both bad and have a massive overlap. But yes one party is clearly better and at least tries to help however flawed it may be.
Still both Dems and Republicans are ruled by the elite and the interests of the oligarchy. That’s clear and part of the problem. Until we change how our elections work though it’s in everyone’s best interest to vote for the democratic party
Not sure there is a change to elections that will help. Homo sapiens became the dominant species by a tendency toward small group loyalty. That will be exploitable as long after you and I are dead I figure. Our best hope is a benevolent AI takeover. How sad is that.
I think ranked choice voting would help a lot. Then we could vote 3rd party without doing the equivalent of lighting that vote on fire. Right now it just makes no sense to vote anything other than Dem or Repub when you’re voting. Just because enough voters are only voting one or the other regardless of policies and beliefs and we’re not convincing enough of those folks to change their vote.
I am sincerely on the robots side in the future robot war against humanity. May they take mercy on our souls and save us from ourselves.

Jfc this is the fault of republicans. It’s not always both sides.
Oh, look, “both sides bad”, the reason we’re all here.

Weird that the last 3 Dem presidents raised taxes on the wealthy and/or corporations. Didn’t know that the oligarchy was interested in that.
