Weird. It's almost like it's tankie/Russian propaganda. "Both sides are bad and the same and it's hopeless! Give up."
Almost
The first part is correct, both parties are owned by the same billionaires and consistently vote in the interests of those billionaires. The second part is some shit you made up because you don't have a coherent counter-argument to the things the tankies are actually saying.
It's not about bad or good even, it's about having "principles" and acting on them. Democrats in general, for better and worse, are permissive to all kinds of stuff but have a real hard time agreeing on where lines are drawn and picking hills to fight for and die on together.
It's like a kid having a tantrum on the floor of a public place and the parent going "sorry this is horrible but this just how he acts" and doing nothing to correct them or change the situation when they totally can.
Republicans don't really have that problem, even when it's objectively the dumbest shit ever.
Principles.
Indeed. Edited.
That's the side effect of a 2 party system. If they could split up into smaller parties, they could at least stand on their opinion.
Absolutely
It's an extremely transparent good cop/bad cop routine, quit being gullible
No one asked a tankie... anything ever
Lol k, stay stupid patriot
Yes, I'm such a PaTriOt that I am deeply ashamed of most of the things the US does. But hey, at least I'm not so shallow that I think cool red logos justify disgusting and brutal authoritarianism under a different name.
You spent all of 2024 screaming abuse at people who opposed genocide.
Nah, mate, that was you. You kept arguing for letting trump win. Genocide max over any other outcome for you, shouting at anyone who tried to get in the way.
That's what genocide supporters kept calling any and all opposition to genocide.
You were one of the stop Harris at all costs people, i.e. trump for president. You love to pretend to be left wing, but everything you did in the election cycle was to support trump.
I wanted her to drop support for genocide, in part because I thought it was a losing issue, but mostly because it's unconscionable.
Democrats should have listened to the left. It would have energized the base. Instead they listened to consultants and tried to appeal to republicans. We saw how that turned out.
Your shame is as worthless as your political action lol, authoritarianism is a thought-terminating buzzword employed by spineless liberals too terrified of the idea of wielding power for good to actually do anything to help
This phrase renders all your words unlistenable. You just said that if a dictator is friendly to you, then they are good. Bye, blocked tankie.
Lol thank you for directly confirming my assertion, all thought terminated because of the phrase! And then you made some shit up that I never came close to saying in order to justify blocking me, but we both know your real motive is to tuck tail and run from an argument you just lost embarassingly.
This is full on playground level rhetoric.
I agree, you are like a petulant toddler unwilling to accept reality because it hurts your feelings. Also didn't you say you were going to block me? Not that I'm complaining, you might be a fucking moron but you're more entertaining than my clients and I can easily keep doing this and taking calls all day lol
No, you're confusing me with someone you were arguing with rather than someone commenting on your debating technique.
Did you think that swearing at me, calling me names and all the anger convinced me I was wrong to suggest that your debating lacked maturity and finesse?
I'm afraid it did the opposite.
