    The picture carries more weight than you let on. Obama was one of the leading personalities in the party, which supposedly is some radical force for resistance and change against the MAGA fascist movement. And yet there he is, giggling along with Trump with no barrier or reservation. This actually disproves the myths about his character entirely, whether or not you want to acknowledge it. You can disagree with that, I’m sure you will, but frankly it just speaks to your lack of insight, and I’m not going to argue with you about it.

    Re: Republican and Democrat “sameness”. Obviously they are not exactly identical. But your perception of their difference is the outcome of brainwashing. Every theory that views them as opposing forces, instead of a kind of mock opposition inside of a uniparty, absolutely breaks down when you examine their virtually complete consensus on global oppression, foreign invasions, domestic totalitarianism, and so on. If your theory cannot account for their consensus on being a force of oppression against the entire world, the U.S. population included, your theory is incorrect.

    They are not owed your vote. Our responsibility as a population in a so-called “representative democracy” is to select the best candidates - preferably ones that will amend the Constitution into a direct democracy. You are correct that corruptibility is always a risk - but Green & PSL being corrupt in the future is theoretical, while the Democrats and Republicans have proven their corruption beyond a reasonable doubt. It is Democrat and Republican voters who have abdicated this responsibility, and the entire world is burning as a result.

      Alright, politics is about being unapproachable to people you don’t like.

      And not like, the opposite /s

        We are way the fuck past that point. I’m going to write what I think and I’m going to make it sound the way I feel about it.

      I give way less fucks about a picture than I do about both party’s voting records and criminal conviction histories. Oh hey, look at those two dudes laughing. One gave me affordable healthcare when I was younger and the other one tried to illegally overturn the votes of 80 million people. THEY MUST BE THE SAME!!!

      This actually disproves the myths about his character entirely

      Because he’s being cordial with someone at a funeral? My man, how old are you?

      But your perception of their difference is the outcome of brainwashing.

      Says the guy that uses a single picture as evidence instead of voting history.

      Our responsibility as a population in a so-called “representative democracy” is to select the best candidates.

      That’s exactly what I did. I acknowledged that only 2 candidates had a chance of winning and picked the best one based on their character, their voting history, and their party’s voting history.

      Only a fool would vote for a 3rd party candidate in a presidential election. They CANNOT win, because their parties haven’t done the necessary work to get their candidates elected at local/state levels across the nation to build a coalition capable of winning a presidential election.

      This isn’t rocket science.

        Did you read the part where I said I don’t give a fuck what you think about the picture? I do not respect your opinion at all. I did not make the claims you’re accusing me of making, that it FOLLOWS that they’re “the same” because they’re laughing together in the picture. Don’t bother me with your bullshit misrepresentation of my own words.

      Did you see that team Xs favorite popular man talked to team Ys favorite popular man at a funeral of a colleague, instead of punching him in the throat, like twitter assured me would happen?

      lets deep dive on the implications.

        The whole sarcastic tone here is making it harder to clearly infer what you’re trying to say.
