Terrible take. Just because the system sucks doesn't mean there's no nuance between the two.
This attitude has spurred apathy and allowed Republicans to stifle progress.
One guy literally said he wanted to be a dictator. One guy literally told a bunch of folks to storm the capital. One guy for four years continued to bring his friends into government, rolled back popular laws, wasted billions on a non-existent wall. And continues to spiral.
Trump is garbage, but please quit making things up. He doesn't need the help looking like garbage, he does it fine on his own. From the speech found here: https://www.npr.org/2021/02/10/966396848/read-trumps-jan-6-speech-a-key-part-of-impeachment-trial
Definitely not telling people to storm the capitol.
Just a reminder that one side wants to end school lunches for children starving. One side tried to end DACA. One side overturned R.v.Wade. but please, keep telling us how they are "both the same"
How do you ever expect to get out of having a lesser or more evil option if people keep supporting the right wing Democratic party. At some point things have to change, and voting blue no matter who won't achieve that.
Sure. First get us a majority in both houses, then we can talk about meaningful policy change. Until then it's just virtue signaling. People keep expecting miracles to happen when they won't even do the bare minimum to show up to polls and local elections. It's so stupid.
People don't vote when they don't feel represented. Kind of weird to vote first and hope for policy after.
I wonder if people don't feel represented because incremental change is not sexy or exciting. Policy takes time, the Revolution is more interesting to talk about. I don't know. It seems people have weird conceptions about how politics works.
Democrats consistently support ranked choice voting, Republicans consistently ban & overturn RCV. If you want rights, vote for Dems. It really is that simple
What a spectacularly stupid take.
Both sides being bad isn't both sides being the same, and I've got to wonder what your media diet is if you think this - you a big Tim Pool fan?
If Dems don't carry a majority in both houses no meaningful change will happen. As long as no one shows up to the polls and local elections it's pointless to sit here and jerk each other off about how bad the Dems are. Unless of course you want to be an accelerationist, then keep dreaming about the big revolution while kids go to school without lunch vouchers and DACA citizens losw their residency status.
