  Let’s not act like the dems don’t do some of the same shit.

  And no I’m not both sidesing this shit…just saying that the dems/left uses this reasoning a lot as well.

    Minnesota recently used their tax on billionaires to expand education and provide free lunch to children so while the party isn’t perfect they are not at all comparable.

    What makes them so similar is first pass the post I guarantees a two party system and the practice of your gerrymandering creating safe seats. The worst Democrats are the ones with the safest seats. If you want positive change start there.

        Oh I know but anytime someone starts saying that they’re very alike I need to remind people that they really aren’t because these upcoming elections will be a fight for survival

        Average age of Lemmy is too low to remember the democrats always managed to support the war on drugs. Save the children indeed. Think of the children is just the go-to bipartisan reasoning for bad legislation

    You’re mostly correct, but Dems are not left in any political paradigm with the slightest awareness of the existence of non-American countries.

  political parties aren’t real. Their only purpose is market segmentation.

  It doesn’t matter which teams win in sports, billionaires own all the leagues.
