Ok, but only one side is calling for murdering literally all of the children, and that’s the Republicans. Democrats are at least attempting to work towards peace and provide humanitarian aid.
It’s fine if you say that’s not enough. I agree. But it’s not “kill em all”.
Doesn’t change the calculation. Murder more children, or less children?
It was a 50% pay hike over 6 years. The media is disgusting for always describing pay hikes like this. It’s not a 50% pay hike, it’s 7% per year, which is barely catching up with inflation.
I’m happy to re evaluate in 20 years or so. But we’re nowhere near there yet.
Yea, republicans may be worse on these but
That “but” is irrelevant if you understand at all how the American electoral system works. You choose the lesser or the greater of two evils. Always. You want to change the party itself, vote in the primaries.
But muh bOtH sIdEz hurt
False equivalence. AI makes shitty movies. Being against AI is being in favor of quality control.
And we should be glad unions are still strong enough to strike.
If we ever stop seeing strikes, that’s a bad thing for that industry.
Republicans do this horrible thing all the time and in really bad ways.
A Democrat once suggested thinking about possibly doing a part of it, might have been a joke I dunno.
Clearly, both sides are the same.
So they’re only relevant when they’re not doing what you want?
There’s far fewer leftists in relevant battleground states than there are moderates who we would alienate by a hard turn to the left.
The problem with Leftist “don’t vote” rhetoric is that these moderates in battleground states…well, let’s be honest. They’re idiots. They’re easily swayed. They’re low information voters. They “don’t like politics”.
We don’t care if a million voters in California break off and vote 3rd party, as long as they do so fucking quietly. If they influence 30,000 voters in Pennsylvania, we’re fucked. Not as a party, but as a nation. It’s shit, but that’s the calculus behind FPTP.
Likewise, earning 15 million votes in California instead of 11 million, by championing Leftist causes, does not help Democrats get elected at all. But alienating just a few thousand voters in Michigan matters a LOT. You don’t win Michigan and Pennsylvania and Georgia by championing leftist causes.
So yeah. You guys are too small in number to help us win, but loud enough in voice to help us lose.
And no, I refuse to conflate progressives with leftists. I’ve seen a lot of leftists trying to co opt the progressive label lately. Fuck that. Y’all are leftists.
But we’re not voting for Netanyahu.
It can absolutely get worse.
There’s no silent majority of Leftists. This is one of the fundamental things you guys need to grasp. Just because all the people you interact with are like that, doesn’t mean you’re anywhere near a relevant fraction of voters.
I love this new trend of taking all the evil shit Republicans do and just claiming that Democrats do it. Much simpler and more straightforward propaganda.
Who said anything about gangs?
The…comment I responded to?
This is not a movie. Gangs will fold like they always do when confronted with superior firepower.
Why is that more relevant?
It’s deranged to Americans too. This guy is nutso.
