If I had to grade the parties... democrats get a C on good days. A passing grade, but disappointing. Republicans just straight up get an F.
Both liberals AND leftists are guilty of this. You both think that if you can't have 100% of what you want, then that's not good enough and so you're gonna sabotage the whole damn system and think that'll get you what you want.
Honestly, I'm expecting fascists to win yet again because liberals and leftists are too busy butting heads to effectively fight Trump and his cronies.
My list of reasons is:1) A lot of people are racist and sexist2) Conservative media managed to dupe the rest of them into thinking inflation was all Biden's fault and Harris was going to keep doing whatever it was that caused it3) Rich people don't want to pay taxes.
The idea of 'magical school of witches and wizards' has also been done a few times before as well.
Yeah, the thing that bugs me about the whole 'catch them at the courthouse' thing is that tells everyone to avoid that place at all costs, and generally we WANT people to go to the courthouses when they're supposed to be there.
I don't wanna sound like THAT GUY but how do dudes like this even get girlfriends
Conservatives don't care about vets unless they can use them to crap on some other demographic they hate.
Contrary to belief, there's no shortage of jobs in America. There's a shortage of WELL PAYING jobs that allow the average citizen to live a good life.
I went to a christian school as a kid, and they tried teaching us that oil was created by "heat and pressure during noah's flood". Even as a kid I was like "Mmmm, I dunno about that one."
Conservatives read the Constitution just like they read the Bible: by focusing only on the stuff they like and completely ignoring the stuff they don't.
There's plenty of anti-chinese posting there. There's anti-anything posting, because the site is all rage bait to get a rise out of people for 'engagement'.
I've had to use this image so many damn times lately.
Them and Europe are both swooping in and taking our fleeing talent right now.
Remember: midterm elections are in 2026! Don't wait until 2028 to help swing things around!
Hard disagree. Voting is how we got into this mess, and it's the ONLY way we're getting out of it.The thing that annoys me about liberals and leftists is that they think protesting, complaining online, and throwing performative hissy fits is how they enact change. But the truth is those things don't do anything 99% of the time. They FEEL good, and that's why people think they do something, but they largely don't do anything. And doing those things in lieu of actually voting is worthless.
Yeah, well the doomer talk doesn't actually help anything, and I'm expecting people to use this doomer talk as an excuse on why they didn't vote.2026 midterms is not that far away. It's going to be very difficult to completely cancel all elections in that amount of time. So if we DO still have elections (which we most likely will), your ass better show up.
Oh, cut it out with the learned helplessness. I'm still going to vote in 2026, and if you don't because "weeeh it doesn't matter anyway because the elections are rigged", then congrats, you're helping hand the country over to the fascists. I'm fully expecting a lot of you to just roll over and do what Trump wants you to do, which is stay home and not vote. Prove me wrong.
The sad truth of politics is your 100% perfect match candidate unfortunately will only be popular with you and a small number of people like you.
Morons are gonna be morons. Right now I'm more upset at people who KNEW how bad Trump was, but them opted to stay home and not vote for Harris anyway because she wasn't progressive enough.
Nope, the novel "House of Leaves". In the book, the word 'house' is always written in blue like that.
It's 100% a reference to the novel "House of Leaves". In the book, the word 'house' is written in blue like in that image
That's because being a moderate liberal actually gets you elected. Meanwhile leftists don't vote, even for the most left-leaning Democrats, so trying to appease the left is a losing battle. You sacrifice votes for a group that doesn't vote.Leftists don't participate in the political proccess other than complain about it online. It doesn't matter how far left you go, it doesn't get you any more votes, especially in the primaries.
I'm talking more the Edo period. So a lot longer ago than 30 years ago.
It was the 'white liberal' that ended up signing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law, which was the crowning achievement of the civil rights movement at the time.Meanwhile, every election I see leftists complaining about how both sides are just as bad, and then the Republican wins and we get proven that one side is demonstrably worse.
Tesla is still up like 78% in the last 12 months. It needs to crash MORE
ACTUALLY, this is what sushi ORIGINALLY looked like! Originally, sushi was closer to street food, rather than fine restaurant dining, with larger pieces of fish on big balls of rice, meant to be picked up and eaten by hand.
I'm learning that leftists hate liberals and would sooner watch their country be taken over by fascists than vote for a liberal. And liberals barely tolerate themselves, either.
Unfortunately, liberals and leftists will find any excuse possible to not vote, and right wing / russian propaganda is all to happy to exploit that fact
