“When someone says both sides, its obvious they have not been watching the actions of the political parties. Lets look how they vote.” - /u/armored_cat
Really annoys me when I read apathetic people saying that Dems and Reps are the same. Yes, there’s a lot of crony corpos in the Dems side but they are in no way even close to the same. There’s a lot of stuff the Dems have done that I’m not a fan of, but are still not even close to being the same as Reps.
This is a great comment that outlines the stark differences on voting records that I archived so it wasn’t lost.
They are not the same, make sure you vote to keep the fascists out. Also vote in the primaries so we can get more progressive/populist representatives as candidates. Voting is not the only answer to salvage the future but it’s definitely a part of the answer.
Oh yeah, this kind of language really chaps my caboose.
Which party is actively supporting trans rights, and which one is making it illegal to be trans? And if that doesn’t resonate with you, replace trans with Black, Muslim, woman,… basically any minority you’d care to name.
If someone feel like both parties are the same, they live in a bubble of such overwhelming privilege that they must be totally disconnected from anyone unlike them.
Certainly Democrats are not perfect, but “not perfect” is a far cry from “trying to kill minorities.” There’s just no comparison.
They’re also trying to kill children by taking away school meals.
You know, those same children they claim to protect by making abortion illegal? Yeah.
I love this, thank you for that lol
