Are you denying that the Dems are shit? Just because the Reps are worse and currently in power?
What kind of an argument is that supposed to be?
What are you talking about the initial argument is completely insane to be begin with. I think Biden came into office and reduce child poverty or hunger or something by half as his first action.
We're gonna compare that to Trump destroying the economy, removing due process, open up national parks to logging, letting DOGE cut departments with corruption, invading other countries?
Biden gleefully engaged in one of the worst genocides of the era. He should be in a cell in the Hague.
I agree I think it's fucking horrible and I think Chuck Schumer and everyone on any side of the political aisle that upheld this should be in a jail cell too.
100% agreed. I'm forgetting my history though, what did they used to do with genociders and war criminals? Something about a rope or a wall.
And its a little past time that the entire Democratic party acknowledge that what Biden did was genocide, and what Harris was proposing was continuing with it.
Dems shouldnt measure ourselves by what republicans do, if they ever want to win an election again.
Are you having a stroke? I don't follow your point and/or syntax.
What do you want from me? Obviously we agree that Trump is worse than the Dems.
That still doesn't make the Dems "not bad".
Nobody said the Dems were perfect OR not bad through the chain.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_equivalence - is what this post is.
Never claimed that someone claimed that. Again: how is the original post wrong?
Two parties in a two party system is no case of "apples and oranges". That's as close to a fair comparison as you're gonna get.
Ghonorrea and pancreatic cancer are two things I don't want to have. Is this "false equivalency" as well?
stroke much?
seriously, this isn't a "fair comparison" because it doesn't address any sort of nuance nor is it supposed to. It's supposed to make people go: "yeah the dems suck too" rather than understand anything about what's going on.
If you claim to be on the same page then whatever, we can just agree on our core points leave it at that.
I guess you never make typos, then. Huh? /s
I'm sorry that I slandered ghonorrea by comparing it to pancreatic cancer. Clearly I forgot the nUaNcE between these two horrible sicknesses. /s
Wait. How can there be any "nuance" if you can't compare the two parties? Is a comparison of apples with oranges flawed because of the "nuance"?
That's what you think the intent is. I think that it's supposed to state that the US democratic system is not suitable for a fair and equitable world and the Dems are not the solution of the mess the US is in.
You can have your own interpretation but don't assume that this was OP's intent.
I was making reference to this.
I never said you can't compare. I'm saying this comparison is devoid of any content. The establishment dems suck for many reasons. None of which you can find here.
I think I will.
[edit] the point that everyone is emphasizing is the Republicans is setting the US on fire. The Dems have put on rallies to stop it. The posts that are saying "both sides" are just insane to me, but whatever. [/edit]
I know. Typos are different than incoherent grammar, though. Obviously, you got my point, as well.
Umm, you claimed that it's a false equivalency to claim that both reps and dems don't give a fuck about the people.
The meme never claimed to be comprehensive. You're making a mountain out of a molehill. No one claimed that both were "the same".
You're free to be wrong.
I doubt that the main resistance comes from the dems.
As are you.
Have a pleasant day! (no sarcasm)
