The Party of Big Business
We all know the GOP is the party of Big Business.
This one party has pushed through almost all the largest and most significant deregulation and dereform bills of the last few decades.
Just look at how they bent over backwards for Big Business.
Deregulated meat and poultry inspection
Deregulated the banking and financial industry again, and again, and again, and again
Deregulated Oil and Gas prices
Deregulated Telecommunications
Helped create the WTO and granted permanent low-tarrifs on Chinese products.
Cut capital gains taxes again and again
Pushed through NAFTA
Oh, wait. I'm sorry.
I listed all stuff the Democrats did for Big Business.
How did I confuse the two?
Given the evidence, if you support deregulation of big business, low capital gains taxes, union busting, and free trade agreements, vote Democrat.
And to make it official, this week the Chamber of Commerce switched their endorsements to the Democrats.

I saw this one coming from a mile away. :)
To be fair, the Republicans are also the party of Big Business, they just wallow in it more publicly. That's one reason why the Movement For A People's Party is needed.

Again, given the evidence, if we want strong ubiquitous unions, regulated capitalism at home and reasonably regulated trade abroad, and a reasonably progressive taxation system, how do we vote then?

Both parties are guilty of these crimes,
but right now we've got a president who is a racist, a sexist, a homophobe, a climate-change denier and a flat-out idiot with a stupid comb-over and a ridiculous spray tan.
I'm not going to contribute any effort to re-elect this ass-hat, positive or negative.
The Democratic Party sucks, but at least they don't inspire cultists repeating their lies all over the internet.

Umm...I'm afraid they do. :(
They really, REALLY do.
The abominable "critical theory" umbrella and its many subcults? Check (granted, it's unclear where this one originated this time around, and whether the Blue Party pushed it or is just parroting it).
Making "their" candidates look like acceptable people rather than depraved criminals? Check (both parties do this, of course).
RussiaGate? CHECK (this alone shoots your claim in the heart, truly sorry to say)!!!
What you say USED to be true (comparatively), but now, even that higher ground (arguably the most important of all) has been stupidly and aggressively conceded.
The party I can now only call "Blue Team" has become under Trump what the GOP became under Bill Clinton...and in so doing, it has sealed its fate.

Yes Virginia, there is a Global Banking Conspiracy!
I'm afraid I don't know what "critical theory" is
and I'm not sure I really want to.
As to the rest of your comment, both parties are guilty...etc., etc.
Say what you will about the Democrats, and I'll join with you and sing songs about how horrible they are, but at least they aren't brazenly racist, sexist and bordering on National Socialists.
There's a fascist in the White House and this isn't the year to vote third party.
It can happen here.

"It can happen here."
This survivor of the Yugoslav Civil Wars of the 90's thinks so, too - perhaps we should take her warning to heart, no?
2020: the year to vote third party
False. The Democrats have become Reagan Republicans. If you would recall, the GOP wasn't brazenly racist, sexist and bordering on National Socialism under Reagan; today, both major parties are all these things. (Anti-Semitism by Southern Democrats was the principal lawful cause of Bernie Sanders' loss of the Democratic Presidential Nomination in both 2016 and 2020.) And before I'd put too much faith in Doddering Joe, I'd insist on something he can't and won't produce: a stable position on abortion rights.
And a crypto-fascist heading up the Democratic lineup.
Every year is the year to vote third party. Especially 2020. If the Dems want my vote, let them earn it. And that does not mean setting the likes of Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, Michael
CorleoneBloomberg, Joe Biden, or Debbie Wasserman-Schultz before me as candidates. They're crypto-GOP swill and I will vomit them out of my mouth. (Parody of Christian Scriptures, Rev. 3:16) If the Dems want my vote, let them nomimate candidates with real ideas and real leadership, like Jared Polis, Tulsi Gabbard, and Bernie Sanders.Edit: Apologies to Michael Corleone.

Yeah...
Trump appointing a gay man to the post of Director of National Intelligence sure revealed his homophobia.
Well, at least that blatant racism ought to cause what black support he had to crater... Oh, wait - seems like it's actually up 30-40%.
Hey, if you're a cultist like Rachel Maddow or Adam Schiff... you get to spread your lies all over mainstream media!
Adam Schiff - Anthony Bourdain - Chateau Marmont...
Adam Schiff
Where's this Adam Schiff when we need him?
