Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
They are not the same and you know it.
The differences are so negligible. Democrats will continue the ukraine war, republicans will start shit with mexico and china. that is the only real material difference. I don't care about promises or lip service, I care about reality, which neither party tries to improve. They're basically the same party. Always have been. We in hawaii will still be subjected to the exploitation of the monopolies, landlords, and tourist industry while the natives are continually ethnically cleansed. They will plunder us regardless. This is from a democrat stronghold.
I'm from a different democrat stronghold and the view is the same. Half of the democrats are just the people who would otherwise be republicans, but are savvy to put "fiscally conservative" next to their bio about how intersectional they are.
They're so terrified of looking "soft on crime" that they go along with whatever cops want when it comes to policing homeless people. Rather than just saying that they have no intention of making housing for everyone they insist on doing a whole song and dance about how giving the right handouts to developers will totally fix the problem this time.
When it comes to war they're the same party, the baseline jingoism surrounding foreign policy allows the mask to slip.
Two months into the pandemic democrats were doing covid denial when it came to poll workers just to keep anyone to the left of Reagan out of power within the party. They deliberately killed people to keep power.
