It's kinda funny how fanatically people point out that it's the other side that's the problem.
Get out of here with your "both sides" garbage.
I've never had someone left of center tell me a whole group of people deserve to be locked up or killed. I had a right wing nut tell me just yesterday that all lgbtq folk are complicit in rape and pedophilia and deserve to be hanged. Sadly, that's not even close to the only time someone has said that to me.
Both sides might be part of the problem here, but only one side is off their fucking rockers.
Nah. Both sides are off their rockers. Absolute fucking nutters. One's just more violent. But neither can be trusted with any kind of control over others.
🙄 "Both sides"
Vote 3rd party and shut up then. I'm tired of hearing about how both parties are "equally bad"
The fact is that things tend to change for the better under democrats, albeit slowly. Republican judges just today gutted a long standing regulatory precedent that's going to pave the way for capitalists to bleed Americans dry.
One party is luke warm. The other one is actively and progressively destroying our nation. I won't entertain the idea that they are even close to the same.
The debt is going to come calling, and I'm sure you'll blame Republicans, and I'm sure they'll blame you.
Perhaps I'll have my place self-sustaining by then, perhaps not. But I'll be sure to keep plenty of popcorn stocked.
The debt will never come calling if calling on the debt means destabilizing the world economy. I'm sure you'd like to see that, but virtually every single player in that debt doesn't.
So take your cryptic misinformation and go hide in a cabin in the woods. Meanwhile, the adults who understand that shit doesn't get done by itself will be picking up the mess that political pacifists like you leave when you cower behind the notion that both sides are the same.
