They're making perfect the enemy of good and wiping away the good things that democrats do.
Democrats aren't good tho, they literally are the enemy of good. If they weren't evil they would do literally fucking anything about republicans and capitalists trying to take our rights and go full of fascist. But nope, it's always "waahhhh gop won't let us do anything :cccc" while letting republicans do literally anything they want
This is ignorant and false
they're literally aiding and abetting a genocide right now as we speak
they happily enacted legislation penned by the freaking heritage foundation that put a tax on not having health insurance (read: a tax on not purchasing services from a private company while having a human body), and strutted about like it was a win
not to mention the VP's track record with trans rights (hint: as AG of Cali she went out of her way to land trans women in men's prison, against the prevailing policy in Cali at the time)
'member when Biden campaigned HARD on LGBT rights, and then told us to pipe down and wait our turn when he took office? We've not stopped backsliding since the Trump admin on that stuff.
The Dems are lying to you.
The Dems and Rs are playing good cop bad cop and always have been. They are very clearly on the same side, and the rest is a show to get willfully clueless and baby-brained people to support them.
Most of this is speculative, but regardless voting anything but Dem in the United States objectively hurts (potentially )any non-rich person.
Why are you spreading pro-republican messaging?
moreover, why do you think dem-enacted policies such as taxing the uninsured doesn't hurt the working poor?
why is your reading comprehension so bad? why are matters of public record "speculative" in your eyes? Why are you defending people complicit in a genocide? at least finish reading before you go twisting my point.
Don't have time to read every message raving bOtH sIdEs
time to reply, opine, and judge but not read... yeah that's a democrat voter for sure.
Yeah I have time to counter your bullshit but not to engage with it. Not hard to understand, typical third party voter -- unable to grasp basic logic
please explain the "basic logic" behind claiming to "counter" something you proclaim yourself you didn't read... you're acting like a Shapiroite debate-me bro right now and it's cringe af. All of the ire and nothing to say but "nuh-uh, you're stoopid!"
Don't care, you're advocating for trump
Am I a trumper or a bothsidesing third-party voter? you somehow divined one or both of these from my comments (which according to you, you are "countering" without having read by acting like a parody of a smug liberal with nothing of substance to actually say), wherein I criticize Dems for their complicity with the GOP, their domestic human rights abuses, and their willingness to throw LGBT Americans like myself under the bus, but you don't seem to be able to make up your mind which. I'm just trying to understand where you're even coming from at this point, like are you okay dude? You seem less than rational.
I didn't read most of this but there's no difference and most people on lemmy know that. Good luck with your canvassing though. No further replies will be sent
man lemmy is spot-on identical to reddit, we even have alt-right trolls RPing as unreasonably smug and willfully ignorant liberals
