“When someone says both sides, its obvious they have not been watching the actions of the political parties. Lets look how they vote.” - /u/armored_cat
Really annoys me when I read apathetic people saying that Dems and Reps are the same. Yes, there’s a lot of crony corpos in the Dems side but they are in no way even close to the same. There’s a lot of stuff the Dems have done that I’m not a fan of, but are still not even close to being the same as Reps.
This is a great comment that outlines the stark differences on voting records that I archived so it wasn’t lost.
They are not the same, make sure you vote to keep the fascists out. Also vote in the primaries so we can get more progressive/populist representatives as candidates. Voting is not the only answer to salvage the future but it’s definitely a part of the answer.
No, they are not the same political parties, make sure you vote to keep the communists out. Also, vote in the primaries so we can get more conservative/freedom representatives as candidates. Voting is not the only answer to salvage the future but it’s definitely a part of the answer.
Calling Democrats “communists” is such an advanced misunderstanding of both communism and the Democratic party that it’s pretty tough to take you seriously.
What freedoms exactly do your “freedom” representatives provide? You can’t do what you want with your body, choose the God you worship, decide who to love, or even the best way to live your life. They know what’s best for you and will legislate it.
So, really, only the “freedom” to do precisely what they tell you… which is no freedom at all.
What is freedom-loving about conservatives? They often spend more than Democrats, are just as invested in welfare, and skirt the line on LGBT issues and freedom of education these days. Democrats can be bad in extreme cases for sure, and I don’t like them just because I dislike conservatism, but “conservative” presidents won’t bring freedom, if you mean Trump and the like.
