It’s wild how often both sides gets used to blur real differences.
ITT: a lot of people pretending there’s more than one side
A lot of world class dipshits on this very platform think both sides are equal. Getting pretty tired of reading
“Both sides are fascist, one’s just more open about it.”
Stupidest fucking sentiment I’ve ever had the displeasure of reading. Absolute lack of education and critical thinking skills to say shit like that.
I don’t think they’re both equal, they’re certainly both shit.
How do you measure the quality of shit?
Let’s just say I wouldn’t let Maxine Waters or Mitch McConnell watch my dog
both sides are bad. One is just infinitely worse.
People refusing to vote for the lesser of two evils is what got us the worse evil!

What are you even talking about? Biden got elected and enabled the modern-day holocaust lol. There is no “lesser evil”, there are many heads to the same hydra: capitalism.
well fuck me for prioritizing the genocides happening in my own country over the genocides happening on the other side of the planet.
edit: responded to the wrong comment, but the one I meant to respond to was also by you so I’m leaving it.
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.
They’re obviously not the same…
However, they are both anti-union and pro-corporate
the “media” doesn’t “think” they all just push their current agenda
To be honest what I really want is fully automated luxury gay space communism.
Fully luxury automated gay space Communism. That way the abbreviation becomes almost an acronym. FLAGSC, rather than FALGSC
Yes, but you can have my portion of gay
Just save it for later. Forever is a long time.
Ok, I just hope it doesn’t spoil. What is the shelf life of gay?
Indefinite! And on the way, you’ll discover new and amazing types of straight.
Sounds like a plan
Ive been told that its not gay in a 3 way, and with a homey in the middle theres some leeway.
Can you confirm? I dont want to run out of credits.
The media is just a billionaire propaganda machine. They have to make both sides sound equally right so both sides keep fighting each other instead of fighting the billionaires causing all the problems.
So foolish to think this way.
The longer we sit here and make it about the “other” is another day/year/decade that these people play us and stay in power.
Correction: They SAY they want health care and education, get elected, and then spend their political capital making most people poorer, doing fascism, and genociding.
doing fascism
Lol. Can you describe how Democrats “do fascism”?
I keep seeing this stupid, counter-productive sentiment and have yet to have anyone actually explain it to me.
Meanwhile, I’m old enough to remember when I was poor and had NO healthcare and the Dems fought tooth and nail to get Obamacare passed and then I had affordable healthcare. Millions of other people can tell you the same, if you need a history lesson.
Again.
Constructive comment. Perhaps read the thread before responding in the future. Thank you and have a lovely Friday.
Still better than Nazis.
Chopping off a finger is better than chopping off an arm.
Yeah that’s literally what living in the US was like
I don’t know that I agree.
The only difference I see here is that, under Democrats, it’s primarily ICE and the cops doing the Nazi things and not CBP, and you’ll recall that after George Floyd was killed Biden used his next SOTU to publicly call for more police militarization.
Also, go look up who first appointed Tom Homan, for a very good example.
I don’t know that I agree.
Then you need a better education.
Of course.
Very constructive and insightful comment. Thank you.
Equal? Universal healthcare is derided as the delusions of radical extremists. A mere pipedream of anti-semitic tankies, if we’re talking the gambit of American media.
No, the media doesn’t think that, the owners of the media wants the media to say that they’re equal
the media is owned by private individuals with their own agenda.
We need to keep repeating this, it’s a CLASS war.
do you even want healthcare, neoliberal community poster FoxtrotDeltaTango
