I agree, dems and republicans prior to the mid 2010s were the same party. But the democrats are being taken over at the local level and at least pretend at the federal. Republicans will turn us into a christian theocracy, democrats want universal healthcare - maybe. You're the one trying to get internet points here boy, stay in your lane or start bringing facts.

I have not lost faith in humanity but if youre not actively involved in politics (which most people do not have the privilege of being able to do so) it can be hard to see any good in us, ironic as that may be. Helps me to see the people doing the good work 24/7 even if I can only chip in once a month. Get involved in your local community and expect nothing in return and youll probably have that faith restored over time. It takes time though.

Anyways I do hope that something changes in a big way because I dont see how our current form of existence, capitalist vs oligarchs (aka openly evil capitalists) can be sustained

No, there is huge reason to panic on jobs. We already have no protections and the cuts have begun and they will not stop. If the GOP takes over all three in the next american election, there will never be protections. People like to say "yeah we went from 10 to 5 jobs but another two popped up!" okay that was the industrial revolution, now were going from 5 jobs down to 1.
