Nah, this is some “both sides are bad” bullshit. One side tried to get rid of student loan debt and the other side said no. One side is fighting for equal right for all races/genders/color etc and the other side says no. It goes on and on like this. Give me a break.
Neither side tried to get rid of student loan debt. One side just pretended to try.
Abortion rights were repealed under Democrats, trans rights are being repealed under Democrats, police budgets have increased in response to BLM, and non-stop war is completely bipartisan.
Both sides ARE bad, just because one of them sometimes offers tepid opposition doesn’t make them good. Democrats are not on your side either.
What an absurdly simplistic view of things. All you’re doing with this “both sides” bullshit is encouraging more people to sit out the process which is how we got here in the first place. Shame on you, do fucking better.
That’s interesting. After I got done sitting out (in 2016, cause fuck Hilary), I voted for Biden (after Bernie dropped out) to get rid of the orange monster, and now I’m advocating for ranked-choice voting and additional parties. I’m more active than ever. Dems are bad. GOP is worse. I want true Left parties. Your rhetoric shames my desire for more options. Shame on you!
lol you twit. Don’t sit out any elections. Hillary would have been literally infinitely better than Trump.
A pet rock would have been better than trump.
Good luck with RCV, I think it’s probably a good idea, we use it in primaries in NYC and it’s done fuckall that’s been good so far.
But get off your moral high horse and pick the thing that does the least harm if you can’t find any positives.
In fact Obama campaigned on codifiying abortion rights but when he entered office he admitted its not a priority for his administration.
Obama was peak liberalism. All talk, no show.
and several war crimes
What good is being a liberal if you cant have a little warcrimes as a treat?
Abortion rights were repealed because Trump got 3 partisan supreme court justices appointed.
Then pack the courts, codify abortion rights into federal law, do some executive order bullshit, or fuck it, abolish the supreme court entirely. There’s a lot Democrats CAN do but aren’t. If we’re being very charitable, then they value made-up rules over your human rights. That’s the party you want representing you?
Abort the court!
Don’t argue with the tankies. They literally have no moral compass.
The Clintons had literal slaves. Like, the still-alive Clintons. Fuck you, devil.
fuck all these liberals appealing to “dems make things better for the working class”. the working class does not start and end at the amerikkkan border motherfucker.
the Dems being for the working class is an old folk tale that just won’t die
- Post mentions U.S. political parties
- Post mentions BLM, started in the U.S. in response to the U.S. police murdering a U.S. citizen
- Post has a rose emoji, frequently used by leftists in the U.S.
“Man, why would anyone think we’re talking about the U.S.?”
Important point. From the point of view of 95,5% of humanity USA present nearly uniform face regardless of who is in power. And this goes not only for the victims of US but for their vassals too. Barely anyone outside US gives a shit about the US political theatre, even the analysis of the comprador euro think tanks smells with indifference under the flimsy mask of engagement.
Alright this comment section was fun but reddit liberals will never change their minds on anything (if they did they wouldn’t try to make Lemmy into Reddit), so I’m locking this.
PS: if you support the democrats I hope they drone strike your house like they drone striked a Pakistani wedding since you seem to like them so much :)
USA are a capitalist dystopia with two parties, one is a rightwing neo-liberal and the other are Nazis as is
Y’all working class libs need to read State and revolution. And reform or revolution.
state and revolution is actually quite short, but still you’re asking too much of them
Damn, looks like this post attracted all the liberals.
redditors in this thread, go back
Why must people always misinterpret this?
No, leftists are not trying to appeal to homophobic white people with this.
They’re reminding you that Democrats will still oppress the working class irrespective of your race, gender, or orientation.
Though don’t kid yourself, the Democratic Party still oppresses black and queer folks when they think they don’t need black and queer votes.
Okay, what is with all the Democrat-defending libs in this thread. Reddit-tier logic.
