This is objectively false. One party deals entirely in culture warfare with no idea how to govern. The other at least tries to interface with real world problems.

All this "we" shit smacks entirely too much of cis het white middle class privelage

Call me when I can pay my rent with your monopoly money. Until then it's all monopoly and no money

The model is intended for commercial use, uses the entire work and creates derivative works based on it which are in direct competition.
