    Funny how every time the GIOP does something awful we see a lot of BoTh SIdes ArE The SAMe memes.

    No actual plans or ideas, but lots of memes telling people not to vote.

      Both sides are complicit in genocide. Sure, technically both sides aren’t the same, but once you get to that level you’re splitting hairs.

      While those of us who are wealthier like to make fun of poor people who vote for Republicans because they’re the pro-corporate candidate, strictly speaking they’re just the ones who are honest about it. LGBT rights, immigrant rights, and the rule of law are important but they’re also mirages. The democrats sold out LGBT people and immigrants as soon as they saw it wasn’t helping them (that isn’t to say it was hurting them, just not helping), and the rule of law has barely been a thing for a while in America.

      Obama double-tapped children using drones, so he could get the paramedics too.

      America is a unique country. One where the left-wing party has become the right, and vice-versa. As a result the supposed left-wing party in the Democrats is built on a foundation of slavery. That can’t be repaired without a miracle.

          So now the genocide in Gaza has been ramped up exponentially

          It hasn’t, you were just a lying genocide denier when it was your team doing it. This, incidently is why I don’t take "lesser evil’ Democrat supporters seriously anymore, because they’re always quick to reveal that they’re dishonest denialists about how evil the Democratic party actually is.

          Ukraine, deportations, invasion of Canada/Greenland/Panama, and tariffs are the few areas where there is an actual difference. Biden absolutely would let Netanyahu keep doing what he’s doing.

          When it comes to the morality and corruption of the candidates, they’re both the same. It’s just foreign policy and social issues where they differ.

          TLDR: Short-term they’re different, long-term it all comes out in the wash. Or it would if Russia wasn’t trying to erase Ukraine from the map.

            Short-term they’re different,

            That’s like saying in a million years everyone will be dead, so why do anything?

              Then let me instead zero in on a different idea, from before I edited in the TLDR.

              “Both sides are made up of horrible people, just with different policy”

      leftists offer plenty of solutions starting with unionization. and much more depending on which poison you pick.

      first things first though you need to notice you won’t be able to vote fascism away.

            You just fucking said you can’t vote away fascism. So if fascism is already here, which it is, you’re saying it can’t be voted away, which HEAVILY implies that one shouldn’t vote cuz it’s pointless; fascism can’t be voted away, so why vote?

            Do you need any other explanations, you obtuse jackass pretending not to know how language works?

      Is the response for “if was Kamala nothing of this would happen”.

      “The strongest, most lethal fighting force in the world.” would do the same fucking shit

      Have an upvote. Both sides are not the same. Anyone who can’t distinguish between them is seriously not fully operational.

      The result of not voting sits in the White House. In politics there is no silent majority.

          Billonairs and stupid MAGA workers are the minority and always vote right wings, but they turn to a mayority if the left working class don’t vote. Simple Math.

            you missed the point. democrats are not leftists and will be just as bad.

            don’t blame leftists for how fascists coopt an electoral system in their favour.

              I know that the US voting system is a crap and that there don’t exist a real keft party, Democrats there are a conservative neoliberal party and Republicans are direct a Fascist one. But even so between the bad and the worse, voting the worse don’t make sensem less if it is done for the second time. Anyway for me as an European it’s impossible to understand why this criminal asshole is in the WhiteHouse and not in Jail since tears ago. In the last US election you could hear out of the US worldwide the sound of a violent facepalm.

                leftists aren’t really voting for trump though. most leftists i know vote for the lesser evil, but with the consciousness it ain’t doing much.

                the way fascism coopts the masses and capitalism lets it, thats literally fascism running its course. its been documented throughout history.

                it comes up when capitalism is in crisis and the people aren’t aware of the class war being fought against them. part of that comes from thinking politics is just voting for the lesser evil.

                    they are a part of it, but think mainstream media in general. including hollywood, big tech and shit.

                    there is a reason the burgeoise owns most media.

        Thank you. You’re going to get a lot of nonsense where people keep telling you that voting is meaningless. Don’t listen.
