Thank your conservative neighbor, you know the one… He’s holding two smoking guns with a bullet through both of his feet. Plenty of others in the car at this point, actively or passively, but gop is the one overhanding bricks at the gas pedal for the duration of this chart.
And the 19 years of liberal Presidents since Reagan have done nothing to improve the working conditions or strengthen labor rights of the working class to offset these losses.
Fucking over the working class and poor is a bipartisan effort.
Most democrats aren’t “liberals”… Certainly none of the ones who’ve been president since Reagan have been.
Maybe nobody will notice how you just leap frogged clear over me making a similar point on my original comment?
Maybe they also won’t comment on how you ignored that the dem is typically walking into an active fire set by gop mismanagement and general enshittification of society that happens every time they leave office? Then the democrat spends a bunch of energy and political capital on their first term working to scrape the molten shit mixed with broken glass and rat poison off of the walls of the country.
There is definitely a real, bipartisan hatred of the poor by the old guard but again, triage… You start with the person hurling those bricks overhand and you don’t say, “Yeah okay, but those people over there stole a couple candy bars, so are we just going to ignore that?!?!?”
Democrats don’t fix shit, liberals just start to ignore the issues they complained about when Republicans were in power, and only listen to the glossy rhetoric of their political leaders without watching what they are doing. The talk and the action rarely align. Democrats were screeching how DeSantis handled COVID, but crickets when Biden adopted the exact same policies. They decried trump when he said if we stop testing, COVID numbers would be lower, then crickets when Biden did the same.
They all claimed ‘we’ll push him left after the election,’ we are all still waiting to see that happen.
What?
Cite whatever your random assetions are here, SPECIFICALLY, and maybe I’ll speak to them.
Rather true tho. The democrats often have to be really publically pressured into action. And quite honestly at this point in time most of the Democratic party leadership just seem like very incapable politicians who are grasping to hold onto power. I would say the same is true of their conservative counterparts. There are no good guys in this red vs blue politics game. Only 2 different kinds of corruption. We needed to break down our political duopoly a long time ago.
There is no valid both sidesing here though. Well yes, the Democratic leadership is less effective than I’d like, the two sides look VASTLY different on their worst days.
There’s so much undisclosed nuance in any kind of attempted false equivalency claim in this situation. It’s not a serious argument.
