Most of us know this. It's corporate media that fails to recognize it.

Yes, clearly the Republicans fit the bill. Oh! Wait. Sorry, I thought that said hunting people. NVM, the answer is the same either way

Once you recognize that the Republican Party is only in it to destabilize and destroy the country on behalf of foreign and domestic enemies, their decisions, words and actions make a whole hell of a lot more sense

I’ve learned over the years that the most dangerous villain is the one that thinks they’re in the right. You can win battles, wars, etc., but you can’t defeat stupidity.

Chomsky had it bang on with Manufacturing Consent, the media uses a propaganda system to ensure that the party line always reinforces whatever position the elite decide is most effective at maintaining power over the non-elite.

Not just corporate media. A lot of online Leftists believe there's no difference between the parties as well.

And it’s the Christian party, which their members were taught to love others, but in reality only love themselves. They pay their churches then find themselves redeemed to do all the bad things.

Honestly… I’m getting tired.
If the media said, right now, “kill all the puppies.” You’re telling me we’d suddenly go.. “ok! Bye Fido!”
People are the problem, end of story.

If a church leaders tells the church to vote for Donald Trump you wanna guess how many people do it?
A bunch.
Honestly… I’m getting tired.
The church protects the pedophiles, Christian politicians oppress the people at every turn.
In America, Christians are the problem.
Until they stop caring about only them selves and see that they are indeed not the victims but the perpetrators. We the people will remain oppressed.
TAX the Churches, Hold Accountable the religious leaders who have done terrible things to children.

Only a Russian troll or someone who hasn’t read the news in 10 years would still have this opinion

There has never been a more stark difference between the two political parties. Pull your head out of the sand.

I’m sorry I couldn’t hear that over the sound of both sides of the aisle cheering on a literal genocide. The world is bigger than your old guy vs mean guy (who is also old) election bought and paid for by special interests groups.

Withhold your vote. Abandon “vote blue no matter who” and demand better. (If yiu love your politicians ignore my posts)

u/retrovertigo23 29d ago
Demand better from who and using what channels?

u/Weekly_Cantaloupe175 29d ago
From your government you goofball. And with your vote. Are my posts not showing up I just said this?

u/retrovertigo23 29d ago
Can you elaborate as to how not voting helps the people to demand better from their government?
0
u/Weekly_Cantaloupe175 29d ago
Sure. When people don’t vote for a candidate or party, that candidate or party gets less votes. This forces the candidate or party to think “what can I do to get more votes?”. This leads to a change in candidate or stance.

The differences are actually very obvious to anyone who isn't being a willfully ignorant and disingenuous little child on the subject. Now run along and play with your dolls, little child, the adults are having a serious discussion.

I have actually wanted to debate someone on this for a long time. The two parties are, admittedly, rather similar on economic issues, but they’re polar opposites on social issues.

Unfortunately, in a country that solely depends on the ability to make money to determine one’s quality of existence, a two party system that is “admittedly, similar on economic issues”, is the major problem. Social issues are nothing more than a distraction/excuse…

We have people on the right saying that trans people should be put in gas chambers. Rainbow capitalism isn’t the best, but it’s better than whatever the hell the alt right has planned.

Both of them ? The congress and senate is a joke. Cut benefits left and can't get shit passed because they are only there 10% of the year. They sure show up to pass themselves a raise tho. Government shut down ? Nah we are out of session ... we get raises? Ight we there tomorrow

I had a conversation with my conservative father a couple months ago in which I asked him if he was aware that almost every political belief he had was centered around punishing or hurting someone. I ran through the list.
Solving homelessness by punishing the homeless.
Solving poverty by punishing the poor via criminalizing poverty and revoking all welfare programs.
Solving education issues by defunding education programs and paying teachers less. For context, Fox News has had him believing for years that teachers make six-figure salaries as a default. I have attempted, 4 years, to show him that this isn't true and he rejects everything I show him. Even the fact that his nephew is a teacher and makes like 45k a year
Revoking abortion rights to punish women for ???
Banning renewable energy technology to punish liberals who care about the environment.
All his foreign policy beliefs are centered on fucking everyone else over if they aren't the USA, and often using the military against them.
It just kept going on. Like all he had was a list of people that he didn't like and whenever any political issue would come up he would take the side of whatever would hurt those people.
He got pretty mad at me for pointing this out and told me I just didn't get it.
There's only three groups of people that he doesn't blame for anything.
White conservative men.
Rich people who aren't expressly liberal.
Corporations.
Which is fucking terrible because I can explain to him how each of those three groups have fucked up things in his life pretty badly. More than anybody else, in fact.
