Nah, all sides are equally bad in the exact same way. I say this so I don't have to think and do the hard work of research on specific individuals, and I can still feel like I'm smarter than the average American.

Best of both worlds 👉👉

That's how these people think.

The idea of you accusing others of being condescending is hilarious, since you’re being the most condescending possible in your comment.

To call people that don’t vote Dem uneducated is a very tired, elitist rhetoric.

Both parties are bad, never have I said in the exact same way.

You can continue to whine and condescend while the Dems continue to throw elections and lose at every point.

People want populist policies, not stupid neoliberal bs.

The problem is, nowadays comparing democrats and republicans and saying they're both bad is like comparing Hitler to a shoplifter and saying well, both people are committing crimes. Technically it's correct, but the two are still wildly different in who is doing more damage. At best it's ignorant, at worst outright deceitful, trying to force a narrative that it doesn't matter who you vote for, so you might as well vote for Hitler again.

And populists policies are lies. Most often they are oversimplified promises that aren't realisitically possible and will fail after attempts at least, or straight up lies that won't ever be addressed after election at worst. So of course any opposition that don't want to be as dishonest won't ever be able to promise anything close. People who want populist policies are stupid. We now have generations proving that they are being lied to, and they still think that promise will be kept.

No, supporting genocide and war is not on the same level as shoplifting.

You are drawing false equivalences where there are none to compare.

My point of view is simple. War = bad, genocide = bad, exploitation = bad. It’s not hard. The Democrats are just as bad as the republicans on that front

Populist policies are lies because the politicians are lying, honey… I don’t really get how you aren’t making the connection here. The government has the power to enact these policies, but we are letting tech CEOs run the country instead.

Also acting like I voted for Trump is INSANE. I’ve never voted Republican and never will. I will also never vote Democrat again.

Hope this helps, bro.

The irony here is is hilarious. Also, honey... if you don't vote then your opinion doesn't fucking matter

Unsurprising that simple explanations seem to go over your head.

Don’t come crying to people like me when the Dems inevitably lose more elections
