Is it “both sides are the same” Saturday already?! Boy how time flies when the right is in full control again, destroying everything again, after the left rebuilt it the best they could in their limited time in control again.. but it’s the same coin so you should just stay home and not vote, right op?!
It depends on your side:
if you vote for the right, then you are likely to win with both sides, so you don't really need to vote.
if you are for the left, you absolutely need to vote for the left AND to do not let them in peace once elected, because without being pushed and forced to do a left politic, they are likely to do a right one.
What?
More like we're too busy fighting each other to realize who is largely perpetuating these fights and who directly benefits from a distracted populace.
I'm legitimately surprised I had to spell this out.
This meme must be targeted at USians, where the Democrats, the left wing of liberal capitalism, are referred to as "the Left" as part of liberal capitalists' war against anarchism, Marxism, and other class-conscious perspectives. Because elsewhere in the world, the Left (where they exist) are generally the ones who are fighting the people distracting and dividing us (the capitalists). (Not trying to be contentious, just trying to understand where you're coming from.)
Are you confusing liberals with left wingers?
The left have been very loudly pushing back against the billionaire class for a very long time
As they should, but you can't deny the infighting between other factions. The point remains: we have to take a step back, and focus on the real problems, rather than the bait they throw in front of us.
Yeah, the actual left’s whole deal is fighting billionaires.
I really need everyone to stop conflating liberals with the left, and also learn some basic political theory before speaking on it.
I think what OP is trying to say is it’s not left vs right, it’s poor vs rich. That the billionaires use issues of policy as a distraction from the inequality and wealth gap between us and them.
