[–] Scribbd@feddit.nl 13 points 3 years ago (2 children) Got what? Both sides are the same? Let me check the list: Democrat Republican Don't want ranked voting Don't want ranked voting Want everybody to have a puppy dog Want to kill every puppy dog Nah, still not the same. It just sucks you are stuck with two parties that don't completely oppose each other on all policy points. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Zoboomafoo@yiffit.net 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) It just sucks you are stuck with two parties that don't completely oppose each other on all policy points. Republicans opposing Democrats on all points is how we got into this mess, blame Newt Gingrich permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Scribbd@feddit.nl 2 points 3 years ago Always someone to blame as well. My point wasn't that the 2 party system should totally oppose one another.

But, you want me to mention their actual points? To be fair and balanced? You wanted me to mention the control over women's bodies, abortions for me but not for thee? Or maybe the supporting killing children in schools by only granting thought and prayers whenever a tragedy strikes AGAIN? You know the EU pretty much stopped reporting all the shooting incidents in the states as it is no longer newsworthy? It is only through America-centric Lemmy communities that I hear about most shootings. Or perhaps the red-scare levels of fearmongering about insert minority that is easily targeted of this season? This is what I see republicans be through their actions. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] cheesemonk@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
