Are we still pretending bOtH sIdEs or are we just skipping straight to "democrats are evil don't vote for them" now?
As a Canadian, yeah both of your right wing parties are essentially the same. Brown kids will be bombed and oil will be pumped.
And these lies will lead to trump again. Thanks for that
Dems will lead themselves there, just like they did in 2016. Stop blaming voters for your party's incompetence.
I'm blaming morons spreading discontent and shitty ass ideas and that's fully fair. Thanks for changing the subject though
Why are you so worried about "spreading discontent" in a small community message board? Don't get me wrong, you should be about this election, but don't you think it's a little late now?
The election is in 9 months.
They've had 4 years. What is the Dems message at this point besides "not trump"? What do they stand for in this election? I get their emails the same as you everyday, they say nothing except "beat Trump". We're way past "addressing discontent" at this point.
People are frustrated, people are upset and the only thing the Dems have in 4 years is "at least we're not that guy". Is that really going to work again? I think the discontent is absolutely warranted at this point, my dude.
I didn't read this.
What an absolute child you are. Learn how to have a conversation instead of trying to feel better than everyone.
I don't need to converse with people who strive to install fascists. Thanks though
Criticism of the democratic party is equivalent to striving to install fascism??
Listen to yourself! I fucking voted for Biden in 2020, I want them to be better. That isn't trying to "sow discontent" it's not striving to install fascism, it's criticism. Jfc you guys are soft.
Convenient.
Sounds like something a republican would say 🤔
Republicans: the people you are hell bent on putting in office.
Nuh huh, meany liar pants >:(
Yes we all get it, you want trump reelected. Now go tell daddy you did well today
Trump is a dumbass fascist wannabe dictator. Biden is the current president. He is helping a country commit genocide and allowing record oil production to occur on his watch, despite saying he believes climate change is an ongoing issue. Your plugging your ears and screaming about trump isn't doing anybody any good.
where is the lie?
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Trump definitely would dial it back, so you're totally not a bad faith liar after all!
your accusation of bad faith is, itself, bad faith.
where did they lie?
They're just as bad as the republicans on this issue lol.
Sorry, what have I lied about?
>are we just skipping straight to “democrats are evil don’t vote for them” now?
i've been there over a decade.
Both parties are evil because this is an evil country that must be stopped.
Nothing screams serious/authority like a video game reference username lol.
I was wondering when someone would finally call me out on that lol
But I'm quite serious about hating America. No one should be president and we should do everything possible to make that a reality.
Seems like it's usually just you and I down here lol. Let me guess, disillusioned American?
Yeah, I voted for Biden to "stop fascism" and now he's doing a genocide and on the brink of war with Iran.
i'm afraid it had the opposite effect.
Yeah it's rough, but if you're radicalized young enough you can hopefully foster positive change over your lifetime.
Its too late for the star trek future but we can still be part of positive support structures, enjoy the time we have, etc..
