Yeah the party that supports unions is just the same as the party that doesn't.

It's disingenuous to act like Biden stopping the rail union from hitting the economy during a recovery is the same as Trump or DeSantis or anyone else completely removing the ability from everyone to collectively organize.

I'm sorry you don't like Biden but, we've always had to vote for the lesser of two evils. It's that way EVERY election. If you want to change that, we need ranked choice voting and proportional representation, not staying home on election day.

Have you considered simply not voting and then just acting like a smug douche who's above politics when the fascists inevitably take over and march us all to the concentration camps?

No, how dare strikes have leverage or consequences! I am totally pro-union and worker.

But seriously, if the president had the power to remove NLRB, it would have already been gone. Jesus, Trump being worse than Biden doesn't mean he's vastly worse on every issue.

During the same recovery we were handing out millions like candy to the richest amongst us?

Why bail out airlines and giant conglomerates instead of the American people?

I agree we need ranked choice voting and better candidates. I didn't say people should not vote either. If that's your argument against me, point out where I said people shouldn't vote.

You don't get change unless you call out the issues. If every time someone says "hey this guy isn't the best guy we could have," or "hey, this isn't the best system we could have," the response of "well it's always been this way" does nothing but keep excusing the massive disparities and injustices that are continuing to grow at this point.

I'm sorry you guys can't imagine a better world where people have better choices for candidates at the very least, and at the most a world where the system we generally live by is structurally changed.

The bar gets lower every election cycle. If the best we can keep doing is "hey I'm not that guy", then everything is going to just get shittier because that's a pretty low bar to scale.

Nothing you said was inaccurate but I don't see how a meme saying 'both sides are the same' helps anyone.

Dude I'm not the one who brought up the both sides are the same meme.... .
