Looks far right and farther right, to me.
Lawful evil and chaotic evil.
Both are chaotic evil, just first example how sending arms to Israel breaks even USA law.
Chaotic evil & chaoticer eviler?
I've read similar before. I've heard that the UK's Conservative Party (Tory's) are more aligned with the US Democrats in their outlook than the US Republicans. The Tory's are generally considered our right wing (there are smaller more right wing parties though).
For a minute in Canada we would say “if Obama were Canadian, he’d be the greatest conservative PM we ever had”
The argument we usually see in the US is some nonsense like "you're comparing the Democrats in America to the left globally, you can't do that! They're to the left of Republicans so they're the left!"
...ughh...
There's far right and right. I wouldn't call them anywhere near centre right.
Dems of today are Nixonian conservatives. He gave us Legacy of Parks.
There is no two-party system, it is a uni-party, anything else is smoke and mirrors.
A quick perusal of the voting history of both parties destroys this ridiculous opinion.
Smoke and mirrors. Both parties represent Capital, voting is often negotiated pre-vote, including dissenters.
You can repeat "smoke and mirrors" as many times as you want. Doesn't change that the parties vote VERY differently. Doesn't change that one party got me affordable healthcare when I was young when the other one basically told me to go fuck myself. Doesn't change that one illegally attempted to overturn an election and the other didn't. Doesn't change that one stripped women of a federally protected human right while the other didn't.
There are so many examples of the parties not being the same that there's no other way to look at your opinion than as ignorant to the extreme.
They both serve Capital, and neither represents the people. The DNC is regularly pushing to the right, and willingly allows the rights of women to be stripped. They are opportunists, not agents of positive change. They only care about getting donations and serving the Capitalists that fund them. The GOP is no better.
This...so true.
Another reminder that blueMAGA don't consider Palestinians human
It takes a special kind of stupid to use the term "blueMAGA".
You can repeat "smoke and mirrors" as many times as you want. Doesn't change that the two cops treated me VERY differently. Doesn't change that one cop gave me an assurance of a plea deal when the other one basically told me I'd be locked up forever. Doesn't change that one slammed my face into the table when the other got me cool glass of water. Doesn't change that one lied about my actions and assumed my guilt, and the other took the time to hear me out on my story.

They're not right wing/controlled opposition. They're right wing controlled opposition.
I too end all my memes with Kapwing
Then do something.
