I generally agree “both sides” is a shitty argument, but thinking democrats are going to save us is naive. Time and again they have shown us who bought their vote, while ignoring those who voted for them. They will happily take your money and smile while mitigating any real impact you could have on the status quo.

The reality is both parties are beholden to their wealthy donors over the needs of the average American.

The right exists to ratchet us to the right toward fascism, and the corporate Democrats are there to make sure things don’t shift too far left when Republicans lose power. Notice how democrats stopped taking about universal Healthcare and spent 0 air time talking about the needs of the average American in the 2024 election? Much easier to push the most regressive antiimmigration legislation they’ve ever pushed, basically giving Republicans the groundwork for the shit we see today. I say democrats but it’s not Progressives that run the party, money backs the corporate Dems.

Money has poisoned our political system and until we do away with money in elections we will have a broken system that serves only those with lots of money.

Sure champ. The dnc wasn’t leaning on the scales hillary was just such a good candidate that she lost to Trump. It’s imperative you maintain that ideal otherwise you might come to the realization that you’re part of the problem.

Trump would have likely handed Bernie his ass without breaking a sweat

He had a much better chance than “it’s her turn” Hillary and her baggage. The problem is he actually has a history of helping people and speaks truth to power, contrary to the interests of the DNC and Corporate democrats like ole Hill. He doesn’t bring in that sweet lobbying money from the ultra wealthy, just small donations actually indactive of voter support. It’s why Debbie Wasserman-Shultz was giving Bernie debate questions ahead of time, to help him out… oh right that was Hillary that needed the help… because the dnc chose the candidate they wanted and needed to solidify it by any means.

Either way the reality is the DNC has shown it is incapable of being impartial, and that the whole thing is kabuki nonsense to make you think you have a choice in “choosing” the peice of shit they want you to pick. The DNC is controlled opposition for the wealthy to be able to maintain control on both sides. Not like any sane person is going to vote republican… so they limit options to only the shit sandwich while expecting you to thank them for forcing you to eat it then they bitch when nobody is excited about the shit sandwich.

Then here you are “well of course MY shit sandwich was the only choice and if THEY couldn’t have won, clearly no other sandwich could have come close so stop asking to try another fucking sandwich.” The dishonesty here is just fucking pathetic, but to admit otherwise would be to invite criticism for handing Trump his '16 victory, more so than is already done.

Right? These people are seditionists and traitors, calling them dumb children just provides them cover as they try to force their bastardized Christian hegemony on the rest of us.

So steam sale fodder rather than day 1. No problem it’s not like there isn’t a plethora of good games out right now and my backlog is pretty stacked.

She was also the only R on the ballot. This is a race (to the bottom) of Republicans.

Humorous they think Republicans would vote for a woman to lead them considering they don’t see women as having any capacities beyond being birth and baby raising machines that cook, clean and generally maintain the home for a man.

Living on the border a stones throw from Mexico myself… what border crisis? Care to articulate and provide some citations to back it up?

I don’t expect that you have all the beliefs that right wing media paints democrats as.

Is it because they are well documented liars?

When Fox News successfully argued in court that no reasonable person would believe the content presented in Tucker Carlson’s production was factual or true, and was instead just entertainment, did that give you pause? Are you a reasonable person? If you’ve believed any of their programming Fox doesn’t think you are.

Or can I assume you don’t know about it because Right Wing media doesn’t cover any deficiencies of the conservative machine unless they’ve gotten out of line, and are instead just fascist cheerleaders willing to say anything for power? Ends justify the means afterall…

Are you a Republican?

Tell me friend, do you support:

Child marraige predominantly expressed through older men marrying young girls with whom they can legally rape? (I don’t believe a child can consent, do you?)

Child labor, “the children are our future” but also we should steal their prime growth years so meat packing plants can find more meat for the grinders and not have to pay living wages.

Dissolution of the department of education to kill public education in America

Starving school children of low income families, many of which only get their highest quality meal at school

Unchecked capitalism resulting in an ever widening gap between the ultra rich and the rest of us, such that many are being priced out of any semblance of the lie that is the “American Dream” exploding the number of homeless?

Do you look down on the unhoused as just lazy entitled people who would surely squander any support on drugs, rather than your fellow Americans who are suffering hard times, mental illness, or both?

What about just flat out lawlessness, where one party is disinterested in enforcing laws against their party members and make threats of violence and civil war against any attempts by others to fairly apply the law? And instead they indicate an eagerness to lock up their political enemies despite being unable to bring any evidence of crimes?

Genuinely curious because you seem to be able to understand the current reality, but you cling to an ideal that i would guess has left you behind long ago.

Sounds like our Agriculture industry. The people that unironically cry socialism when kids get free school lunch and shit…

Not anymore. They gave them to Russia under guarantees they wouldt do… pretty much everything they are doing right now.

I’m starting to think Russia might not be trustworthy…

It’s funny watching a woman appeal for power to people who think the only place she should be is in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant serving her husband. Just wild.

“Why won’t this man sit out to pasture and not make waves?!”

Because the people in charge don’t want to fix schools, they want to eliminate public education all together. They think kids need more free time so they can get them into the factories making chochkey shit, cause that’s surely going to expand their future opportunities and won’t just create a generation if dumb dumbs primed to vote Republican.

Unless you are a Republican voting for hurricane relief for a blue state. Then all “we” can give is thoughts, prayers and the finger.

Hate is learned and nurtured in a hate filled home. It can absolutely be raised into a child.

We know Trump lied about the election. He staged a coupt to try to maintain power based on those lies which many of his followers are still paying the price. Hell the Fulton County DA just announced they have evidence team Trump was involved in voting systems breaches across several states.

To think this man is the right man to make your candidate says a great deal about the moral and ethical foundations of both republicanism, and the people that choose to support the party as they prop this traitor up.

I hope you all are paying attention. They don’t quell calls for civil war in their ranks. In fact its celebrated as a rallying cry. Republicans are doing everything in their power to subvert democracy and steal our country from the rest of us.

I would argue at this point you cannot be a republican without being a seditionist seeking to install their christofascist dictatorship, whether that’s subscribing to the whole bag or supporting as a single issue voter. If you guve them power you are responsible for what they use it for.

These people have been hopped up on so much lies and bullshit dressed up as “patriotism” that they are a very real threat to any American just trying to live their lives and get by. Ask trans Americans how the last couple of years have been as the target of their hate and bigotry.

Like the “slaves had it good” bullshit from pragerU that Florida just approved for classrooms? Oh wait I’m sorry it’s from PragerKids… cause they have a whole wing to target children in exactly the ways Republicans claim without evidence that Democrats do.

From Republicans, every accusation is a confession. Just look at child marriage laws and the expansion they are trying to do to see how badly they want be able to own and fuck children.
