This is the kind of myopia from loyalist Democrats who have no sense of distinguishing talking points from actual reality.

Let us go down the line one by one and refute this.

1/

1) Universal Healthcare

GOQP: "Personal responsibility" and privatized system w/ vouchers & full freedom of price gouging for Big Insura/Big Pharma

Democrats: Partially privatized, publicly subsidized system via Rombamacare, price gouging tempered by subsidies

2/

2) Gun Reform:

GOQP: GUNZ FOR EVERYONE (except poor Blacks, can't have them defend themselves against killer cops)

Democrats: Ban assault weapons for anyone other than military, keep gunz out of "crazy people's" hands; indifferent otherwise unless shooter event occurs

3/

3) Immigration

GOQP: BUILD THAT WALL!!! CAGE DEM ILLEGALS!!! KEEP THOSE BROWN FOLKS OUT!!! (Anticommunists and labor slaves excluded)"

Democrats: "Give those we approve of a Crucible obstacle course of hoops to gain citizenship; otherwise; "DO NOT COME!!! DO NOT COME!!!"

4/

4) Foreign Policy:

GOQP: "SMASH DEM COMMIES!!! NUKE DEM ARAB ASSES AND TAKE THEIR GAS!!! FREEDOM!!!!"

Democrats: "SMASH THEM RUSSIANS & CHICOMS FOR COSTING HILLARY HER CORONATION!! WAR TIBET & ISRAEL!!! PROGRESSIVE CAPITALISM RULEZ!!!"

5/

5) Environment

GOQP: "Climate change is a COMMIE plot to destroy my right to drive my monster truck down my tollway! DRILL, BABY, DRILL!"

Democrats: "We'll pretend climate change is an issue by funding the bare minimum to fight it; but gotta keep that Big Oil donor money!"

6/

6) Economy:

GOQP: "1% Tax cuts & unregulation INCREASES tax revenue, which should go back to 1% anyway! Poorhouses and workhouses for everyone else!!!"

Democrats: "Gee, poors, we'd really like to help you, but gotta trim the deficit!!" Also, our donors would riot. Sorry!!"

7/

7) Taxes

GOQP: "Only the little people should pay taxes; and the more the better so we don't pay any!!!"

Democrats: "Pay your fair share, everyone...as long as our donor rich pay less so we don't have to fund too much because deficits harsh our mellows!!!"

8/

8) Reproductive Rights

GOQP: "A woman is just an incubator for Jesus; if you didn't want to carry the child, don't be such a slut (except for me!!)"

Democrats: "Women deserve reproductive rights, as long as they pay for it themselves!! Can't alienate our "swing voters"!!

9/

9) Civil Rights

GOQP: "Whites are the real victims of racism; what's wrong with Voter ID and suppressing the Black vote so we keep our power?"

Democrats: "We defend the Black vote....as long as they vote our way & don't cross our right to use them for our profits!"

10/

10) Women's Rights

GOQP: "A woman's place is in the home caring for her kids...unless she's Marjorie Taylor-Greene in Congress bashing the Commie Left Democrats!!"

Democrats: "A woman's place is in the boardrooms & Congress, making bank off lobbyist $$$$!! Lean Foreward!!"

11/

11) LGBT Rights

GOQP: "Keep them dirty, nasty, diseased d*ckgirls, f*gs, and sex freaks off our kids & TV's!! (Unless we need them for our use and pleasure!)"

Democrats: "We support respectful, quiet queer folk who keep their freakery to themselves! Just, not too freaky!!"

So, as you can plainly see, she does have a point.

Democrats and Republicans are not exactly the same.

One is unabashedly right-wing.

The other is...only less openly so, cloaking their conservatism behind social liberal drag.

Both, however, equally suck.

13 & fin/

Coda:

Notice that all of the things she cites the Democrats as representing is exactly what Indy Leftists have been advocating for millennia, but what Democrats have basically abandoned for DLC/ThirdWay "centrist" conservatism for the past 40 years.
