    Both sides are exactly the same! And by “both sides”, drag means Democrats and Marxist-Leninists. Democrats give money to Israel even though their voters don’t want them to. Marxist-Leninists abstain and let trump bomb Palestinians even though they claim to be allies of Palestine. Both claim to be good, but do bad things.

    A liberal would feed 100 people on the off chance one needed food. A conservative would deny 100 people food on the off chance one didn’t deserve it.

      Liberals are clearly the lesser evil, but sadly both get into bed with lobbyists and capitalists that created the housing and food shortage in the first place. Liberals just want slightly less evil capitalism while conservatives want aggressively more evil capitalism.

      Maybe they’d give them a tax break after they filled out a dozen forms proving need.

      Libs hate universal programs and they hate direct aid. Hence why instead of free healthcare, we got obamacare. Instead of cash to help new parents buy the things they need, Kamala is promoting a tax break. Instead of free college, we got complicated loan forgiveness schemes that seem entirely random if it applies to you and how much.

      You are not voting for libs or cons though. You are voting for one of two corporations the difference of which in actions, not words, on key policies is miniscule. Of those one is openly criminal and another is not, so you’re voting for the latter. You want the boot up your ass to be legally solid.

      It’s a pretty feudal dynamic.

        I was going to post about how we should reform mental healthcare for the better.

        I had facts and figures, handy infographics; the whole 9 yards.

        After reading your comment, I don’t need to post anything at all. Everyone can see how dismal our mental healthcare is from those few sentences you typed up.

            1. That’s a non-sequiter to what they said
            2. Both the GOP and the Democrats have stated they will continue to support and arm Israel. Trump has said that numerous times. About the only one pushing back is Bernie Sanders.

      You lost me with the 2nd paragraph. There is no world in which I would vote for 99% Hitler. Any system that only gives you a choice between 90% Hitler and 100% Hitler shouldn’t exist. At that point my vote would be to burn it down and create something better.

      This isn’t surprising at all, if you look at their rhetoric.

      They need the world to self-destruct so Jesus will come back and give them their paradise. Nearly all Christian sects are doomsday cults, because Jesus was an apocalyptic preacher.

      Nuclear war? Good, that brings Jesus back. Climate apocalypse? Awesome, because Jesus will come back, as prophesied. Israel implodes? Best case scenario, because this is exactly how Jesus comes back.

      They want all of us to burn for the sake of their doomsday fantasies.

      I saw an interesting video a few days ago that touched on this. It proposes that most liberals think of problems and how to solve them. Teenage pregnancy is up? How do we increase sex education and access to contraception?

      Where most conservatives think of problems and how to punish the people that cause them. Mostly stemming from the idea that living a just and moral life - like they do - means you won’t have those problems, so it’s your own fault if you do. Teenage pregnancy is up? Quit being a slut and instead raise this baby that was a result of your own slutty behavior.

      I’ve been looking at things through this lense the past few days and see this way of thinking popping up over and over again.

        As a former conservative, the “fuck them they deserve it” attitude is very accurate. Sometimes they shun each other over that stuff too. Other times they compartmentalize. Depends on how much they like that person.

      You make it sound like Israel goes: “We will bomb the Palestinians, but ONLY if Democrats PUSH this button! Do it Joseph Biden and Nancy Pelosi!” and they trip over each other to push that button.

      No. That is republicans you are thinking of. They enjoy the bloodlust and the prophecy and of coming of the end of days! They want to LUBRICATE that shit!

      I’d love to see it happen but I don’t think it will until the Republicans are no longer able to waste everyone’s time flinging their own shit and screaming. Once the republican party is rendered irrelevant and the democratic party can actually fracture into proper left and right wing parties (without causing severe social problems) im hopeful we’ll see a great deal more progress.
