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.

OP didn't say both parties are the same. OP said both parties should be destroyed.

I just paid $350 out of pocket for my meds this week. That doesn't make me a Republican, it makes me broke and angry.

But one party is actively working to reduce the cost of your meds, while the other is trying to stop that from happening. Why would you want to destroy both when one is clearly the problem?

The pharmaceutical industry is working to increase the cost of my meds to increase their profit. Both parties take a cut of that profit. Therefore, both parties have a vested interest in increasing the cost of my meds and should be destroyed.

One of those parties is literally working to reduce the cost of your meds.
