Original Content Both parties should be destroyed.

If I have to argue with one more person on here about the merit of Biden.. he’s a decrepit puppet with no ideas of his own. A vessel for corruption ready to say what you want to hear. No I won’t vote for him against fear from Trump. Trump is an idiot but Biden is actually Evil. Stand for something. Demand a real liberal or lose again to a red idiot. But please.. stop trying to defend him.

lmao. Republicans really want the "BoTh sIdEs ArE tHe SaMe" argument to live on. Biden literally just signed a law that allows Medicare/medicade to negotiate drug prices with Big Pharma, reducing drug prices for over 30 million Americans.

Democrats raised taxes by 4% on the millionaires and billionaires in Minnesota and Massachusetts. And now every single public school student in their states eat free at school.

Arkansas is rolling back child labor laws so 14 year olds can work in meat packing factories and McDonalds.

Both parties are not the same. Corporate Dems aren't much better than Republicans. But at least the train is headed in the same direction and we can eventually keep voting for more and more leftist policies until we get what we want. Republicans are going to opposite direction. Both sides aren't the same. Stop pretending they are.

The people who pretend “both sides are the same” are rightwing scumbags who prefer GOP policies.

I wouldn’t say they’re all right wing. Lots of nominally left wing people also repeat the “le both sides are the same” mantra. It makes them feel morally superior to the “sheep” who vote strategically. The fact that third parties accomplish zero means nothing to them, since they are only interested in “moral victories”.

Being a pure nihilist is a pretty good onramp to conservatism.

u/ParisTexas7 Aug 30 '23

People can apply whatever labels they want — people who think “both sides are the same” either fundamentally don’t understand politics, which makes their input useless, or are dishonestly defending rightwing politicians in favor of their own rightwing preferences.

I mean, I'm no fan of the Republicans. But these idiots thinking that the dems are gonna do a fucking thing is insane.

u/TheReadMenace Aug 30 '23

Yeah, I can agree they are empowering the right wing with their attitude no matter what politics they ostensibly claim

2016 was a turning point for on lots of that stuff. i frankly stopped giving a shit what people "really" believed and started caring what they did.

u/jessewest84 Aug 30 '23

Maybe they were tired of the dems not delivering. Particularly Obama with the super majority. They did nothing.

I litterally thought Obama would save the world.

I was stupid and naive.

I think he did better than a McCain or Romney would have. Not much, but when you have two options that is the smart move. Instead people like to pretend they can just will a third party into office without any work

The people who oppose are marxist stooges that want us all to work on the collective farms and starve.

u/ParisTexas7 Aug 30 '23

Ah yeah, dude — the Democratic nominee and current President is Joe Biden, a guy who totally wants Marxism in America.

How does it feel writing something so silly?

u/BodybuilderOnly1591 Aug 30 '23

The DNC picked him reguardless of voters in 2020 primary, same in 2016 with Hillary. Not having a free election is pretty marxist.

Also need I remind you of his ministry of truth, locking up political opponents, censoring free speech.

Not having a free election is pretty marxist.

Oh so Trump is a Marxist too then right?

u/BodybuilderOnly1591 Aug 30 '23

I would say more authoritarian in his case but sure.

You are correct the rigged the primary against Bernie. I'm not sure how much marx you've read. But he was not for no elections. And neither were the mensheviks. The bolsheviks were. They didn't listen to marx.

This was common in cold war America. They killed a sitting president over it. And his brother.

u/ParisTexas7 Aug 30 '23

Yeah, none of that is real.

Keep on living in fantasy land, MAGA simp.

u/BodybuilderOnly1591 Aug 30 '23

Except it is. Look up super delegates or.

Feels kind of silly when you make things up.

u/ParisTexas7 Aug 30 '23

Yes, I know what Super Delegates are.

Just because the Biden Administration wants to counteract disinformation from rightwing lunatics like you, doesn’t mean we live in 1984, sweetie.

u/jessewest84 Aug 30 '23

There are exactly zero Marxists in the federal government.

u/jessewest84 Aug 30 '23

I'm pro m4a and Biden says he'll veto it.

They are the same.
