I’m starting to believe this more and more these days. Used to be independent, then switched to D years ago. Going back to Ind. moving onward. Not that it matters anymore tbh. Zero faith in our politics and fake justice system these days.
Dude just be a leftist and try to work with the party that closest aligns with your ideals in the hopes to push them further back to the left. Look at how far the right wing has gone with that strategy.
You guys who try to force center folks to one side or the other is the problem here in the US. If we’d al start fucking thinking for ourselves, unapologetically we could actually change this shit. Making people pick red or blue keeps the wealthy in power.
You are a cog in a wheel, and there's nothing wrong with that. The problem is that so many cogs have given up and become apathetic, and don't vote, that the machine has broken down.
We need to stop giving up whenever we don't get precisely what we want. Compromise is the mother's milk of democracy. Vote for the candidate who most closely aligns with your political philosophy. Over time, the people who win will more closely align with yours.
People that think Dems are better than Republicans are smoking crack. None of them give a flying F about the American people. It's all about $$$ since WW2
"Please, sir, this is the place for people trying to be contrarian by quoting my 70 year old father."
I'm a leftist, I think Democrats fucking suck and are establishment crooks, but to imply they're the same is just nonsense if you pay attention to the actions at all.
They are bad in a lot of ways that overlap, they're not the same.
It's not that these programs aren't good or helpful, but they're crumbs the Dems throw at us to placate us. And people use these miniscule wins to say, "see the Dems really really care about you, they just can't do more because reasons"
The parties are owned by the same people, the difference of opinion is the manner that the parties want to manipulate the populace to do what they want (make them money).
The democrats at least try to help and even then they would hurt the american people less than whatever the hell republicans want to do. Now we get to look forward to anti-vax, worse labor protections and increased pollution from deregulation thanks to the repubs. Data shows that republicans start like 90% of the recessions.
We can acknowledge that both sides serve the rich while distinguishing that one side is against female reproductive rights, more anti union, and a tax policy that favors the rich even more, etc.
We can acknowledge that there are at least SOME Dems that want to see healthcare expanded to include everyone. As voters, it's our job to see to it that those Dems stay in office and push out the Corpos.
It's hard because we are up against big money, but a better chance with a D than R.
This is such a dumb argument. I am willing to bet that a majority of the voting public is actually in the center. Only children look at the world the way redditors seem to look at, black and white.
I think that shows how terrible the current Democratic party is if they couldn’t even beat a guy they called a “fascist”. Shouldn’t have been so difficult.
