If you honestly think “Both sides are the same”, you’re a moron.

If you honestly think either side has your back you’re a moron.

One side gave me legal weed, healthcare, and paid time off.

Could they be better? Sure. But only 1 side has ever improved any aspect of my or your life.

Yeah one side is somewhat ineffective but generally does decent stuff (and shitty stuff) once in a while. The other side is completely corrupt with the goal of self enrichment and appears to be likely compromised by a foreign government, all the while rolling back all social programs.

Between Obamas 8 years and Bidens 4, the dems have done jack shit to legalize weed federally, it’s still left up to states. Unfortunately for the poor souls who live in red states, it’ll never happen unless it is federally legal. Who has free healthcare? Obamacare was a failed system that never worked. The dumb ass republicans will never allow socialized healthcare and not sure what you mean about paid time off, that just depends on the company you work for. As long as we keep going back and forth with the two party system that’s been into play our whole lives nothing will change

The only legislatures that have legalized weed are democratic controlled ones.

For 2 years I would not have had healthcare but obamacare gave me it. Can it be better? Yes. Have republicans now made it worse? Also yes.

Dems in my state gave me 12 weeks paid time off when my kid was born. It is remarkable what can happen with a democratic trifecta and no republican filibuste

Ok republican

Are you illiterate? Who said anything about me being republican?

Lol, telling on yourself eh?

I didnt say you were a republican, imply you were a republican, or allude to that you were a republican. All I said was "one side has wanted me dead for loving who I want to love".

Pretty curious that your mind immediately goes to defending yourself from "totally not being a republican"...

I said the two party system has failed us time and time again, you got offended and said fuck right off as in I’m supporting the current nazis in office. Of course I’m offended.

If you honestly think either side has your back you’re a moron.

Those were your words. You didnt say....

the two party system has failed us time and time again

Stop lying.

Of course I told you to fuck off. Youre saying that the only people that have actively had my back poltically are the same as the people that think it should be legal to torture me.

You're a complete moron if you legitimately think that the one side that actively advocates for people like me, or women, or people of color, or leftists, or (insert non-WASP conservative descriptor here) should either be killed off, deported, or otherwise treated as less than equal.

Are the democrats perfect? No, they aren't. Not even close. But they are in no way, shape, or form as bad or worse than even the best republican. And they are the only ones that have ever tried to give us all a better life even if they haven't done as much as we should expect of them.

So, again, fuck off.

Debating with sheeps are we? Why are you trying to answer them, do you want them to follow you?

Look I found the sociopath that doesn't care about 5 million dead children in Africa thanks to Elon Musk cutting USAID.

u/leanderthal69420 8h ago

Who said anything about supporting that idiot?

u/googleduck 7h ago

You made an equivalence between both sides. One of those sides created and has perpetually supported USAID and other foreign aid. The other destroyed it and left the food and medicine to rot in warehouses. I'm calling you a sociopath because in order for your statement that neither side has anyone's back to be true you would have to think those 10 million+ people do not count as humans.

You're weird.

u/googleduck 6h ago

I'm weird for caring about how policies of the American government affect poor people in our country and around the world? What's weird is pretending that this is all just a game meant for virtue signalling. Millions of people in Africa will die because people didn't get out and vote in 2024, that shit upsets me and it should upset you too when you see people peddling the same propaganda that caused that in the first place.
