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.
You are not voting for libs or cons though. You are voting for one of two corporations the difference of which in actions, not words, on key policies is miniscule. Of those one is openly criminal and another is not, so you're voting for the latter. You want the boot up your ass to be legally solid.
It's a pretty feudal dynamic.
How the fuck people like you can say shit like that after Trump's three SCOTUS picks were responsible for striking down Roe v. Wade after 50 years, then went after Chevron and said that a president could commit crimes if they are official acts, I don't know.
I was going to post about how we should reform mental healthcare for the better.
I had facts and figures, handy infographics; the whole 9 yards.
After reading your comment, I don't need to post anything at all. Everyone can see how dismal our mental healthcare is from those few sentences you typed up.
Thank you!
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.
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.
And surprisingly the most religious people tend to vote for the elephant...
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.
The ones who respond with excitement whenever there is bloodlust and retribution and suffering in the Bible. They enjoy those parts.
of course, gives them an excuse to hate, it's not them hating you, it's gawd!
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.
The elephant may never forget but they do.
Dick Cheney, is that you?
can we figure out a way to silence the both-sides'rs and the butwhataboutpalestines? i don't care how it gets done. just make it so that no one has to see their bullshit any more.
How about the dems help stop bombing children?
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.
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...
Lets do something and help
*offer only applies to first generation home buyers who have paid rent on time for 3 years and started a small business in a disadvantaged community that employs more than 2 people but less than 7 and is paying at least $50,000 in taxes in their first year, if your social security is divisible by 6 or 7, but not 3 or 5.
all of these limitations were put in place as concessions to republicans
Concessions they didn't need to make because they had a majority, and republicans aren't going to vote for it anyway.
...And then there's .ml, who loudly refuse to see the difference every 4 years.
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.
Death, taxes, .ml users entirely missing the point.
Sorry to hear you're struggling man, hope it changes for you
Lets do something and help
Proceeds to shit propaganda all over every thread and can't/won't back up anything with facts
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.
