It's just theatrics. They are as conservative as the Republicans.

They do differ slightly on social issues. But that's it.

I don't believe either side gives two wet shits about the social issues they argue about. The only thing they care about is that we continue to villainize each other about it

The goal is that they have a few wedge issues to fight over, so we vote based on that and that alone. A good wedge issue for them involves a few things, it is something with a deep emotional tie, something that is almost impossible for us to just ignore, something with a clear for/against stance, and MOST importantly, it has no impact on the capitalists continuing to drain our blood until were desiccated hollow shells screaming at each other about trans sports from our cardboard boxes under the overpass
