      Do you remember when we used to be able to be friends with people of different political beliefs instead of insulting each other over trivial bullshit? And I mean both sides. You know this is exactly what they want, right? If we’re busy fighting each other then we won’t have enough energy to fight actual problems with the system.

        No? Growing up around conservatives I remember them talking a whole lot of shit. If they thought you were a liberal that shit would get directed at you. Things weren’t quite as bad back then compared to now, but they were still whiny hateful assholes.

          The fact that the SCOTUS can basically do whatever the fuck they want, the electoral college making elections basically pointless if you live in the opposite area as your political views, Gerrymandering, a legislative branch that never gets anything done, a government that shuts down whenever people don’t agree instead of solving issues, and a two party system that just gives people two shitty choices just to name a few.

          I shouldn’t really have to list all the problems with the system when we all deal with the consequences on a daily basis regardless of which party you are affiliated with. We are all getting constantly fucked but spend all our time bitching at our neighbors about which side of the political spectrum they are on when it’s just as fucked no matter who is in charge.

            No please keep listing the problems :)

            What did Democrats do about these systemic issues when they controlled Congress?

      Hey now, don’t sell those wine moms short. They have a lot of built up rage, especially if they haven’t spoken to a manager in a while.

        This has to be one of the dumbest comments I’ve ever seen. Imagine being so entitled to insult people who are complaining, which is itself just you complaining. If they’re “wine moms who need to speak to the manager” then how sad must you be? At least they’re complaining to people with power. You’re just complaining about people who are tired of this shit.

        I think you need to do some self-reflection and try to understand why you’re angry at these people. They aren’t the ones who have harmed you. Find the real issues rather than your bullshit of being angry at “others.”

            No, you didn’t. You just found the person who would call out how sad you are. I know it’s easier to just say it was a joke, but we all know better. You’re complaining about the wrong people.

            Usually a joke includes, you know, a funny statement that is wedged into something truthfull.

            Saying all these people are basically ‘Karen the wine mom’ becauss they’re protesting a newapaper laundering the image of somebody who promised to be a dictator and has frequent lapses in sanity… Idk man, maybe jokes aren’t your strength

              I’m not the one who introduced the wine mom. I’m just the one who made a second joke. I assume you complained to the original comment?
