I'd choose American democracy over windows

The current party in power repeatedly said that rioting != valid protest and nominated an aggressively boring candidate for president instead of a left-wing ideologue. The current party in power is still fundamentally controlled by its centrists; the other got taken over by its fringe.

And nothing that Democrats have done comes close to Republicans failing to impeach Trump, supporting his efforts to overturn election, etc.

I'm insulted you think the rest of us are too stupid to easily spot the differences or something

edit: what does "in power" currently mean anyways? One party controls the executive branch, the other the legislative.

Impromptu insurrection and looting are not equivalent in severity.
