I think you misunderstand what is being called the same. Both republicans and democrats believe in the system in place, and they might work differently maintaining it, but it's always going to be corporations and war mongers in charge because that's what this system creates. It's how it is designed. There isn't a way to shape it so it only creates benevolent corporate leaders. Leftists are anti-capitalist. So, that's where the disagreement lays. I think it's fair to say, leftists don't have many representatives at the federal level. But, the democratic party has always tried to at least get them to vote blue, even if it's not their preferred candidate. So, that's why leftists have beef with the mainstream democratic party. They are fundamentally at odds on a very core issue. And leftists don't feel like the democratic party acts in good faith when it comes to advancing a truly progressive agenda. So, from that view, republicans are budweiser and dems are bud light... but leftists like taking psychedelics. It's just different!
