Liberals helped create the environment for people like Trump to be a viable candidate with decades of lesser evil bullshit, then they want us to help clean up the mess they made? Hard pass
Yea totally, we should all vote for the greater evil, that will show those lazy democrats /s
If killing tens of thousands of civilians and starving millions is the lesser evil, liberals need to reevaluate their priorities
Those are definitely liberal priorities, starvation is their main goal, that’s why we should go for the greater evil /s
Food insecurity in the US at the one of the highest levels ever recorded, yes starvation is one tool they use to control people
I would argue that conspiracy the other way around… they keep us pacified with $2 cheeseburgers so that we don’t revolt. There will never be a revolution in the US so long as the beef industry continues to receive it subsidies which keep the cost of a Big Mac at around a half hour’s wages.
That said, if you really think that starvation is a liberal conspiracy used to control the masses, then you are simply delusional.
It’s conservatives that are trying to undermine social services like food stamps and healthcare, not the liberals.
Starvation is a tool of capitalism which democrats hold a part in preserving at our expense.
It was DNC action last year that kicked a shit ton of people off food stamps and Medicaid. It was DNC action that reformed welfare under Clinton that burned the safety net to the working class?. The two collude together at our expense
Yeah, one passes food stamp reform and the other literally wants to murder all minorities and race traitors.
But to you they are the same, right? Good thing people like you are here to help explain why voting straight Republican is such a better choice!
Find where I said vote Republican. Voting for neither is an option.
Kicking millions off SNAP was not reform
It’s ok, baby sealion. We all know who you vote for and what you really stand for.
Oh darling that's cute. All the girls ever have is the ability to infantilize everyone they disagree with. There's a reason liberals are referred to as sciolists. BlueMAGA for short
It’s so cute you say that, sweet summer child. I hope you find your way back to Reddit and hang out with the like minded MAGA folk. I wish you the best!
BlueMAGA sciolists are tenfold worse than MAGA. MAGA doesn't pretend to care. BlueMAGA use the marginalized as human shields to defend their shitty policy while claiming to be their allies.
Nice delusion you got there, Democrats provided the drill for the Republicans to make the holes
Amazing mental gymnastics, you training for the Olympics?
I'm not the one mentally justifying the support of someone slaughtering brown people around the world and denying economic hardship here in the US.
I'm not justifying shit, you're the one saying that the world deserves fascism. Someone who thinks that way clearly has something to gain under such a vile system
Red fascism is no different than blue fascism. They both answer to the same people. Republicans are open in their authoritarian motives, democrats are covert in theirs with the outcome being the same
Where's the Democratic Party's version of Project 2025 and Agenda 47? The blue version of the frameworks to turn the US into a theocratic, hyper-capitalist, totalitarian state if their candidate wins?
Oh that's right, there is none. Both sides are not the same at all and you bought the lie that they are so you could feel smarter than everyone else about it.
Their response is not mentioning a thing about it while answering to the same bankers and capitalists at the expense of the marginalized, poor, and the working class.
This manages to be both not true and especially not an answer to my question.
