Jfc this is how your country got here in the first place. Absolutely relentless bothsidesing. What will it take for you to give up on the idea that they're "basically the same"? Insurrection didn't do it, fascism isn't doing it. What will it take??? Morons

Lol. They think this is edgy. Democrats are human beings, they fuck up. Right now? Absolutely torch them for sitting idly by and not connecting to people in large meaningful ways. But like... Really? Democrats have been the ones fighting to give you universal medicine, lower taxes, cleaner air, higher skilled jobs and higher paying jobs, more housing, and even fucki g protecting the border while not infringung on human rights lol.

Pussy ass bitch

Our country got here by one party continuing to be more and more evil and the only other party following.

Obama's legacy:

Biden's legacy:

The democrats are a brutal, vicious, genocidal party.

The Ratchet effect.

With this current trump slop, the democrats can shift farther right than they've ever been and gain tons of moderates and even conservatives who just feel sour on trump, and obviously they get the liberal moderates, because trump slop.

Republicans shift right by 10, dems shift right by 6 and seem progressive in comparison.

Billionaires continue getting richer, and we all get fucked. Eat, sleep, repeat.

I'd take some less evil, please.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 days ago (5 children)

Sorry. The Democrats sued less evil off the ballot.

Yeah this is totally warranted given the recent news. I mean, one side trying to expand medicare, the other gutting it. One side trying to close Guantanamo bay, the other opening concentration camps on it. One side trying to get money out of politics, the other side destroying democracy for want of more money.

Totally helpful, totally warranted, OP. Well done. Way to go. You're so cool and centrist.

This meme made sense in 2012, not when the Republican Party has decided to be the Anti-Democratic Party.

If anything Democrats have moved further to the right recently

I’m honestly looking for work in the EU. If I can land a job, I’ll get established and then bring my family over.

Oh my fucking god, the comments in here are so bad. Nobody is saying "both sides bad". This is not a centrist meme. This is a case of observing that Republicans are far-right fascists and Democrats are center-right conservatives.

People from the global south watching american fighting over who is less evil never gets old.

Given the reality of the world we live in, Dems are the best we have right now.

Obama pulled this country out of the worst economy it’s been in since the 30’s. Brought healthcare to countless Americans (my wife would no longer be with us due to the cancer she had - Medicaid allowed her to be treated). He legalized gay marriage. Allowed gay and lesbian people to openly serve in the military. Gave the order that killed Osama bin Laden. We’ve all seen firsthand cities and towns be fixed up from the stimulus bills he passed in 2009. I could go on and on.

Hard for someone like Biden to follow that up being the next Democrat in line.

Meanwhile Trump has done everything to gut the work that Obama did, and make life worse for Americans in general. The last few weeks have felt like years in some sense with all the garbage he’s pulled. He’s bringing back another set of corporate tax cuts that are gonna fuck over a bunch of middle and lower class families.

They aren’t comparable.

At least we have a fighting chance for change under Democrats. They just need to give the old goons the boot.

Say all you want about us providing aid in conflicts worldwide, but that’s what we’ve always done. We all have it great here in terms of safety because of those decisions. I can count on one hand how many times we’ve had foreign powers attack us on our soil since the revolutionary war. Hamas is a proxy of Iran/Russia, so of course we’re gonna back Israel. Same reason we’re backing Ukraine over Russia.
