If democrats really wanted to improve our lives, they wouldn’t have quashed Bernie in 2016 or 2020. What they did this year with Kamala was equivalent.
She was still a better choice in every possible aspect over Trump. It wasn’t enough.
I agree. Democrats are freshly revealed to be hot garbage, but they’re still lightyears ahead of republicans and I find it disgusting to make any remark that alludes to them being the same
Lol, if by “freshly” you mean “for at least almost a decade if not further back”
I find it disgusting to make any remark that alludes to them being the same
It sucks, but they literally both do what the guy is accusing them of, so they’re actually the same here. Doesn’t mean they’re perfectly identical in all other ways, but this is and has been a major red flag for yeeeeeaaarssss BECAUSE it’s a spot where they’re the same
I’m just tired of the false equivalency that landed us in fascism. But enjoy feeling smug about how you knew this is exactly how Democrats would run this campaign 10+ years ago.

Valid criticism of the Dems isn’t false equivalency, it’s so fucking annoying to hear people keep acting like it is

Didn’t claim anything close to that, merely pointed out that acting like this election suddenly revealed something new only proves youre unaware of previous ones
And I’m annoyed that we continue to see “both parties” without strong fucking qualifiers.
acting like this election suddenly revealed something new
You have no idea what I meant and you obviously care more about making something up than knowing. I meant that we saw democrats reach a new level of ineptitude with this election cycle. If you cannot see or accept that is true, then I’m right. You’re smug and not interested in actually conversing with me or understanding what democrats do/don’t do correctly.
“No they wouldn’t, it would be bad for their investments in the economy, with more workers in the labour pool the cheaper labour becomes. So reducing that worker pool would mean companies would spend more on each worker reducing profits.”
I think people ought to be to have enough intelligence to know that a statement like that can be true and at the same time, one party acts nakedly, unashamedly that way, and the other doesn’t.
The fact that Trump won probably proves I’m an idiot for thinking people don’t have to be nuanceless morons. But the fact remains that we remain entirely fucked because people can’t tell the difference in dogshit and dirt. Comments like the ones above help reinforce the idiocracy.
“Both parties…” followed by anything is almost always unhelpful and destructive but sure go ahead and defend that shit.
From where I sit the Democratic party was so afraid of an actual changecandidate that they neglected to have a primary and foisted a milquetoast pro-LE candidate that didn’t do anything to reach their base and instead tried to court it’s opponents supporters. So, maybe they’re actually worse than Republicans, at least an R will tell you they hate you and want to take your rights.
An openly fascist rapist beat them, if that isn’t an indictment of them I don’t know what is.
The Democratic party lost, it’s now OK to point at them and say “what a bunch of out of touch rich fucks” and throw them to the wolves, they do not represent us and in that way, are exactly the same as the other side.
Ah yes, bOtH sIdEs BaD. Glad to see you welcome what’s coming. Since we’re totally in the same exact position as if Kamala had won /s
One side is worse, but both sides ARE bad.

That’s not what happened here, though?
I do know what you meant, because English words have meaning
No, we didn’t, we just saw them fail harder while doing all the same shit they always have, as I said
Keep strawmanning me and ignoring everything I say, I’m sure eventually you’ll make a valid point with that technique!
Not interested in your point of view since you’ve aggressively denied me an ounce of understanding
Do you actually disagree with any of what they said or is snark your contribution?
I disagree with equating the parties, clearly. Kids born 50 years from now will too, if they decide to read about American history.
“No they wouldn’t, it would be bad for their investments in the economy, with more workers in the labour pool the cheaper labour becomes. So reducing that worker pool would mean companies would spend more on each worker reducing profits.”
You agree with that comment?
That part, I have no problem with. I just told you what my problem with it was. Seems you didn’t really care.
So, do you think one of the parties isn’t owned by the 1%?

“their strategy is shitty, so they’re actually worse than people who are actively working to end democracy”
