Internally in the US there is a fairly large policy difference between D and R.
When it comes to foreign policy, you are correct. There is no difference between them.
On this issue yes, on other issues, no. See: Republicans wanting to cut all support to Ukraine so that Daddy Vladdy can win his war.
Don't forget that the 2016 DNC hack was accompanied by an equal hack of the RNC, it's just that the Republican info was saved as kompromat where the Democratic info was released in the short term to damage them and help Trump win the election so Putin could have his puppet in the White House.
Counterpoint:
Obama expanded the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, massively increased the drone strikes and continued the support for Saudi Arabia (the country that financed 9/11 and the nationality of the majority of those involved).
When it comes the US foreign policy, neither side is the good guy.
Moscow Mitch. Cheeto Mussolini. Graham Cracker.
Those are but three. Yes, they support Russian propaganda and policies. The GOP are feckless, self-serving cock-whistles. Sounds like you are, too.
Google "Republicans 4th of July Moscow"
Our nations birthday and where are all these traitorous fucks? Taking orders from Putin.
And no. America did not put Putin in power. He made a power play on Yeltsin and had the presidency handed to him. Being the former head of the KGB, he knows how to press people to get what he wants. America also did not start the Ukrainian war, that started when Putin invaded in 2014 and stole Crimea. It can end today, Putin just had to go home. America should've bombed his personal mansion(s) for Crimea too, as we swore to defend Ukraine against an aggressive Russia when Ukraine gave up their nukes but Obama's a bitch.
If you really believe your astroturfing you haven't paid any attention to American party politics in, at least, the last 10 years. I know, cuz I do, almost religiously. Some people follow sports, some people like celebrities. I read, in this order, my cities, my counties, my states, then national, and finally international geo-politik. Political science/economics/philosophy are what I'm all about and not a fucking word of anything youve said has even an ounce of coherency to it.
More accurately it's Putin supports the Republicans, and he's financing the far right in every other western nation as well. World's richest man and all, Putin owns them.
Republicans: repeat Russian propaganda, spend major US holidays in Russia, are played on Russia state TV, try to defund Ukraine. You: obviously they don't support Russia!
Nuh uh
Even if that were true (it's not) those are still two very different choices
You're being downvoted but you're not really wrong. Biden just sent millions of more dollars to the cops " to protect schools " as if American police departments aren't already some of the most heavily armed and well equipped police in the world right now.

The Republicans are definitely more overt in their anti women and anti queer rheortic and actions, but the dems are fortifying the military industrial complex when the writing on the wall is clearly that these weapons will be used agaisnt the people domestically rather then protecting any schools or whatever bullshit reason they come up with.
Many police have been openly supportive of fascist movements and helped facilitate Trumps election in the first place. Not to mention most American cops seem to think that the BLM protests were worse then J6. Giving them more weapons and power will only result in more death for the average person. They're a quasi military/state within state force at this point.
The fact that this critism is not taken at face value is insane. Biden is a racist bootlicker in his own right. Democrats will sell the rope to the Republicans that they will use to hang them with.
So, giving more funding to cops is the exact same thing as the culture war Republicans have drummed up. Huh, interesting take. Also interesting to note that the one person you mentioned who is actually moderate at best is the sole representation of the entire Democrat party. No nuance and no other ideas are allowed. Just Biden's. Got it.
More or less. Who do you think fights on the frontline of the " culture wars " ? And yes, Biden is the leader. He represents the party. You wouldn't make such foolish defenses for Trump or the GOP, but will for democrats.
Because they appropriated the words of Malcom X and Martin Luther without ever actually reading what they said about America!
Anarchy is our mother! She cannot be sold! Long live the rebellious souls!
