    The “both sides” crew somehow thinks the side that supports unions and civil rights and voting rights and due process and raising the minimum wage and not constantly starting wars is equal to the side that wants the opposite of all of that, and the tankies here think liberals are much worse, because tankies are just closet fascists that think yellow looks better on a red background than black and white.

      The side that “supports unions” has resulted in unions falling from 40 to 10% of the workforce since the 1970s (and most of those left are government)

      The side that supports “raising minimum wage” refuses to raise minimum wage for almost 20 years… and the last wage increase was abominable.

      The side against “constantly starting wars” constantly starts wars.

      The side that supports civil rights is just fine with The Patriot Act, which they voted to pass and continue to use and expand.

      It’s like you don’t even read what you write, it’s programmed and automatic.

      And that’s the problem.

        Don’t forget Joe Biden also overriding the ability of railway workers to strike, and Gavin Newsom vetoing unemployment pay for striking workers.

        Anyone who thinks Democrats are “pro worker” is huffing their own fart gas.

      Honestly, I thought the added “difficulty” of using Lemmy would keep idiots like that off this platform, but apparently not. Or foreign agents/bots are infiltrating Lemmy. Probably a combination of both.

      If you look at both sides and think “same”, you need to acknowledge you are not an intelligent or informed individual and you need to work on your education.
