Karl Marx said:

The relationship of the revolutionary workers’ party to the petty-bourgeois democrats is this: it cooperates with them against the party which they aim to overthrow; it opposes them wherever they wish to secure their own position.

What that means in the American system is we vote against liberals in the primaries, and we vote for them against the fascists. America doesn't have ranked choice voting, but voting socialist in the primaries and left (out of the two candidates presented) in the generals is the closest approximation. This is the Karl Marx approved strategy, as you can see from his speech to the Communist League.

Now let's talk about this meme. It's fake news. There was no Alligator Auschwitz under the Democrats. Guantanamo Bay wasn't a concentration camp for immigrants under the Democrats. I submit that the Democrats are at least 1% better than the Republicans, and that this proves the meme is fake news. And if anyone replies to this comment and says well 1% isn't good enough, I'm going to accuse you of moving the goalposts, because this meme says colour is the only difference. The meme doesn't say 1% less people get run over by the trolley, and I think there are at least 1% fewer state caused deaths under the Democrats.

The democrats are also funding this genocide:

There was no Alligator Auschwitz under the Democrats.

The democrats expanded these immigrant prison camps. Some stats from the Obama era:

Guantanamo Bay wasn't a concentration camp for immigrants under the Democrats.

The democrats didn't close their torture camp in Cuba either.
