    Both sides are exactly the same! And by “both sides”, drag means Democrats and Marxist-Leninists. Democrats give money to Israel even though their voters don’t want them to. Marxist-Leninists abstain and let trump bomb Palestinians even though they claim to be allies of Palestine. Both claim to be good, but do bad things.

    A liberal would feed 100 people on the off chance one needed food. A conservative would deny 100 people food on the off chance one didn’t deserve it.

      Liberals are clearly the lesser evil, but sadly both get into bed with lobbyists and capitalists that created the housing and food shortage in the first place. Liberals just want slightly less evil capitalism while conservatives want aggressively more evil capitalism.

      Maybe they’d give them a tax break after they filled out a dozen forms proving need.

      Libs hate universal programs and they hate direct aid. Hence why instead of free healthcare, we got obamacare. Instead of cash to help new parents buy the things they need, Kamala is promoting a tax break. Instead of free college, we got complicated loan forgiveness schemes that seem entirely random if it applies to you and how much.

    Yeah this is biased. The Democrats are only like 20% good, Republicans are 1% good.

    Remember folks if you have the option of voting for 99% Hitler or 100% Hitler, vote for 99% Hitler.

      You lost me with the 2nd paragraph. There is no world in which I would vote for 99% Hitler. Any system that only gives you a choice between 90% Hitler and 100% Hitler shouldn’t exist. At that point my vote would be to burn it down and create something better.

      This isn’t surprising at all, if you look at their rhetoric.

      They need the world to self-destruct so Jesus will come back and give them their paradise. Nearly all Christian sects are doomsday cults, because Jesus was an apocalyptic preacher.

      Nuclear war? Good, that brings Jesus back. Climate apocalypse? Awesome, because Jesus will come back, as prophesied. Israel implodes? Best case scenario, because this is exactly how Jesus comes back.

      They want all of us to burn for the sake of their doomsday fantasies.

      I saw an interesting video a few days ago that touched on this. It proposes that most liberals think of problems and how to solve them. Teenage pregnancy is up? How do we increase sex education and access to contraception?

      Where most conservatives think of problems and how to punish the people that cause them. Mostly stemming from the idea that living a just and moral life - like they do - means you won’t have those problems, so it’s your own fault if you do. Teenage pregnancy is up? Quit being a slut and instead raise this baby that was a result of your own slutty behavior.

      I’ve been looking at things through this lense the past few days and see this way of thinking popping up over and over again.

        As a former conservative, the “fuck them they deserve it” attitude is very accurate. Sometimes they shun each other over that stuff too. Other times they compartmentalize. Depends on how much they like that person.

      You make it sound like Israel goes: “We will bomb the Palestinians, but ONLY if Democrats PUSH this button! Do it Joseph Biden and Nancy Pelosi!” and they trip over each other to push that button.

      No. That is republicans you are thinking of. They enjoy the bloodlust and the prophecy and of coming of the end of days! They want to LUBRICATE that shit! For the last hundred years we’ve been in the very last days, according to them, the antichrist peeking from just around the corner, any moment now…

      Fuck off, drumpf would be doing the same or worse, like letting Putin have a free pass in Ukraine, which is also filled with children.

      What Israel is doing is WRONG, it should be stopped, but Donald dump isn’t the answer.

      I’d love to see it happen but I don’t think it will until the Republicans are no longer able to waste everyone’s time flinging their own shit and screaming. Once the republican party is rendered irrelevant and the democratic party can actually fracture into proper left and right wing parties (without causing severe social problems) im hopeful we’ll see a great deal more progress.

            Like honestly this whole thing, my answer included, is pointless. Would you like to talk about it, in that case fine. If not, why don’t we try to stop trying to find fucking catharsis by burning strangers online. The world sucks right now, shouting at each other won’t fix that. I stand by my initial comment, and again, we can talk about it or not. After that my answer was as childish as theirs.

        I cite academic sources all the time. This post is a joke, satirizing the dem’s love of means-testing by combining the requirements from 3 proposals Kamala has made. I can show you the proposals I’m mocking if you want.

        Reality is black and white to them. Zero nuance whatsoever. Same goes for the people on here who bitch about Dems and Gaza but never acknowledge how much worse the GOP are on that topic. The Dems could bend over backward and push their whole agenda and they’d still find something to bitch about.
