  • Nice ahistorical analogy, but the democrats have proven very capable of literally killing people abroad for the crime of being brown and desiring autonomy, as well as turning a blind eye when cops and the national security apparatus murder people on a whim at home. So forgive me for not seeing them as polar opposites.

    Uhhhhh yes they are lmao. They just have an insignificantly smaller out group. They consider the rest of the world fair game for death camps, torture, starvation, and everything else Republicans do, and they even agree with most of their most fascist shit (like the children in cages and the Patriot Act, which were not only not stopped but expanded with Dems at the helm).

    They just think gay people and people of color are a sizeable demographic, but not sizeable enough to stop the violence against them, just kind of pretend they’re the only allies.

    They keep doing that because idiots keep buying it. I don’t think Mussolini would have been much better if he copped black slang for his propaganda material and was ok with gay people in the military.

    Both of them want to kill you and your friends. One is just stupid/racist enough that they’re willing to do away with your labor power ASAP while the other would rather let their billionaire masters squeeze every penny out of you in debt peonage for the rest of your life (hopefully less than 65 years).

    However, I’m far less interested in what they want to do to other gringos than the fact that they’ve been workshopping even worse than this brutality on the rest of us for centuries and y’all were okay with it. You’d continue to be okay with it if there wasn’t a dang Cheeto in the white house or whatever the fuck.

    Pretending that your horse with the blinders on view of history is just objective reality doesnt make it so nor does it absolve you from having evidence based positions. You can’t just handwave proof your ridiculous statements by saying “history is evidence enough”.

    Only one side has ever promoted voter suppression and roll backs of protections

    Lmao this is funny as fuck. PSL and the Green party got sued to hell and back by the Dems not a fuckin year ago to prevent them from being on several state ballots, an action that was probably coordinated with Republicans since they conveniently did not have overlapping lawsuits. Democrats passed the fucking Patriot act and it’s extensions, Democrats passed the 90s crime bill.

    You are still pretending rhetorical and strategic differences are just fundamentally unsurmountable divisions while outright denying the reality that these two parties approve of the same policies with their actions, and rarely do Democrats expend as much energy rolling back the most reactionary policies of the Reps as they do chiding leftists or demanding donations or passing bills in support of Zionism and the MIC.

    4.9 trillion assuming you’re paying everything through the corrupt, extortionate gringo system.

    Actually civilized countries like China and Cuba manage to give universal healthcare to their citizens at a much, much cheaper cost per capita, and without the horrible deficiencies of US healthcare, all under international embargo in the case of Cuba.

    Also, really convenient how y’all bootlickers are all about passive income but you pretend assets are going to become cash and nothing else, not to mention the fact that the government can literally print dollars and keep the currency stable as long as industrial output and taxation is well managed.

    The bigger ones literally are lmao. That’s why they’re the big ones, they’ve had a huge outpouring of resources to make them so. “Tiananment square” is a well documented psyop and so is the so called Uyghur genocide propped up almost exclusively on Adrian nonZenz
