Careful, whenever I bring up that point, people call me all kinds of stupid shit that doesn't make sense

Shit-libs call me a trumper

and trumpers call be a communist

and then some people will call me a centrist

fuck all of that. I want as much authority to be de-centralized as possible, I want everyone to be able to freely speak whatever the fuck is in their mind anywhere in person or online, I want strong net neutrality protections, I want full bodily autonomy for all people, I want everyone to have the freedom to eat whatever food they want and I want everyone to be able to support themselves with one single full time job...and gun ownership rights

and everything in the US constitution that wasn't included in that

Now now, let's not make a false equivalency. Democrats want you to be a wage slave, while Republicans want you to be a regular slave. Cruelty is the point for Republicans, but merely a regrettable necessity for Democrats. The dems aren't all bad, and can actually nice when they aren't being incentivized not to be: Democrats will be mean to you if it means they get money and power, where as Republicans will spend money and power for the opportunity to be mean to you. So there really are important distinctions here...

I genuinely cannot tell if this is meant to be read sardonically, ironically, or not.

Well yes technically you're a slave either way but erhm one way you're maybe slightly a less worse off kind of slave, so technically this is slightly better pushes glassss up bridge of nose

I've given up trying to hold Dems accountable. Me living in a deep blue state means that if I question the ruling super majority I will be immediately labeled a MAGA, be tarred and feathered. Because they cannot possibly do anything wrong when Trump and his stooges are wrecking even more havoc.

This is actually sort of a proven fact with few exceptions just statistically speaking. The US generally never passes any laws that the billionaires oppose and only passes them if they approve.

Multivariate analysis indicates that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence.

Yep and that knowledge is over ten years old, I pointed this out to Democrat voters, in person, repeatedly, over ten years ago, with that exact study... and they mostly guffawed and called me racist and hysterical.

Fucking American liberals man.

I used to say they'd be the death of us all... but now that has to be upgraded to present tense.

(ptsd flashback to Schumer gleefully chanting 'we will win'' after catastrophically losing, and also gleefully endorsing the genocide of Palestinians)

(second flashback to Pelosi in a kente cloth, but no, I'm the racist, apparently)

Now kiss!

... and then the Republican sock puppet forcefully "smooches" the Democrat sock puppet, who makes a show of resisting, but not much of one, and soon joins in enthusiastically.

And then they deny it ever happened afterward, while secretly pining for the return of Republosock.

if my choices are insipid cold canned soup and excrement, i think i know wich one would i have for dinner

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

It's not fair to compare Democrats to Republicans, because Bill Clinton sat on the left side of the Lolita Express and that's better than sitting on the right side.

But the cold canned soup is also like 70% excrement... just in a prettier package, with some good stuff.

You'll still get sick and die eating said soup, and its arguably more dangerous due to its deceptive marketing making it less obviously odious.

At least the pile of rancid shit ... is obviously a pile of rancid shit, only appealing to actual shit for brains people.

Try saying both sides are the same on Reddit and get shouted down.

I've been saying for years that voting for the lesser of two evils is still a vote for evil. And, doing that, which we have been doing for decades, is how we got where we are. Those in power now are the ones who learned to use TV, radio, and now the internet to divide, drive and herd us using fear and propaganda. Looking back, it seems inevitable we'd end up where we are, and crystal clear this was the long-con intent for the past 60 years.

I can't imagine what will happen when Trump (or Vance, if Trump keels over) cancels elections in three years.
