The duality of man
-
This country has been going to shit since Ronald fucking Reagan. Yes, that means Republicans are terrible. That also means the Democrats are either complicit or powerless to stop it.
That country is a shithole - founded on genocide and funding genocide worldwide since WW2.
-
Complicit. In an imbecilic way, but complicit.
Yeah, still not on the same level. But if we want to go with that they are, then using the same logic all conservatives are nazi child rapists.. Every last one, they fuck children and want to eradicate non-whites.

Calling the Dems out for bombing the middle East while it is not a partisan issue.
you guys are monsters. Fk off

For recognizing that an American but also most other people have only the choice of the lesser evil? An criticizing the appearent lesser evil for something every party does suggests a false choice. Choosing the bigger evil is not a good thing.

Seriously. Tired of folks trying to act like they’re on the same level of shitiness. Magats are in a league of their own.
for a large enough amount, less bad is not an acceptable option any longer.

But the Dems don't (checks notes...) celebrate deporting illegal immigrants! I'm sure the people getting bombed in the middle east know that's where the line is drawn! They think I'm a good guy for supporting Democrats, right!???
actually they do! just not openly

What does that change for us non americans?
Republicans do what they show, dems pretend be good guys but are equally evil for us, which is worse. -
I dont know. Being more thoughtful. Being less entrenched in ideology and open to making changes that could help your community without being solely motivated by money, for or against.
Hm... Maybe the ideas you're presenting here would have some merit... If they had anything to do with what ya already fuckin' said. As it stands, you're literally just using them as a cheap "all Americans bad" gotcha. Super lame.

100 years ago wasn't the democrat party "just about" to "secede" from the dixiecrats?
TIL it is 1961

wrote last edited by [email protected]And that is completely understandable, but this post seems to insinuate that the republicans don't want to bomb the middle east, when in reality, the republicans also absolutely want to bomb the middle east, while ALSO wanting to implement a fascist dictatorship in the USA.
Republicans are currently funding Israel. Republicans are currently aiding a genocide. Republicans are currently killing democracy in USA. Republicans are currently threatening their allies with war.
Only focusing on how horrible the democrats are (and I agree they are), takes the spotlight away from the much much worse shit the republicans are currently doing, in addition to doing exactly what the democrats want to do.

i think the red hat is carrying the assumption that they also want to bomb children, mainly because republicans claim that as a feature of their rule. this cartoon wants to emphasize their stupidity as the focal point.

wrote last edited by [email protected]American culture is bad. I dont know why you would want to defend it. If Americans weren't obsessed with "shopping and deals" believing a life of excess is owed to them they could take pride in the things they do have. If Americans humbled themselves, each dollar, each piece of technology or clothing could be cherished rather than just furture landfill. The problem is the way we live our lives and 'garbage in garbage out.' The DNC and GOP are exactly the result of the way we live.
This mind set is beyond changing but it is not human nature. Its greed. In america greed is good.
Sure. Life is short. Except maybe if people understood this life is the only thing guaranteed to them. Sure, the rest could be emptiness, that means each second, each breathe is more valuable than the last. Unless you dont value this world. If americans dont, they certainly make it known by the way they behave.

Maybe it wasnt that relevant -
Theyre indeed on the same level of shitness for anyone living in global south - infact trump might be somehow unknowingly better as he is working tirelessly to collapse the imperial core.
Ah yes, because being under Russian or Chinese thumbs would be so much better. /S

They want to bomb the middle east, but harder.
It's not even that they're "the same", it's that they have similar approaches, but one is much worse.
Everyone lolmemes about republicans dropping bombs and Democrats dropping bombs with rainbow flags like it's some deep insight, but all this does is massively benefit the right.
It sews disengagement from the left and people "protest vote", then the people that do the thing they're protesting against worse than get into power.
Unfortunately in a two party system, such as the US, it's better to vote for the less bad one than neither, even if the one you vote for doesn't do everything you'd like them to
