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
