More importantly than president: Down ballot. Start with your local representative and non federal positions. Local elections usually have less party lines and you may find political alignment there.

The Presidency is mostly a sock puppet for the military industrial complex. We aren't catching lightning in a bottle there.

So, just to be clear, in matters involving the military industrial complex, both parties are the same?

Like the original post is asking to be reminded about in a snarky fashion obviously trying to imply that there is no way they're the same?

The military industrial complex is a pretty bipartisan issue. It is probably the most bipartisan issue in American politics.

What does bipartisan mean again?

I apparently have to absolutely clear here:

The OP meme is mocking people claiming that the two parties are the same, because in one field (The number of convictions) they aren't.

The OP meme mockingly asks people to tell it again how the parties are the same.

I'm LITERALLY doing that. And your response is "Yep, they are the same on that issue."

So... are you picking a fight with being agreed with?

Sorry, I misread your comment as sarcastic.

I apologize for responding to you as I did.
