Because I am not a Democrat, nor a leftist in any way. I do not stand for their ridiculous shit the same way I do not stand for what Trump is now doing. Believe it or not, people can have different views from you. The fact you don't understand that says a lot more about your intelligence than my own. Relax, bud.
Genuinely curious what the ridiculous shit is in your eyes. I generally see most people want the same end goals (better lives for all/most) and the nuances are just in the execution.
And it is this sentiment that will keep you voting for shysters and con-men and voting against your own best interest.
The shit he started was stupid, racist, and generally abhorrent
That says a lot about you
Took a while, but we finally found why they voted for trump 3 times. Racism.
Yeah - shit libs make everything shitty.
Their "everything is a nail because I have a hammer" approach to everything stops all conversation.
Remember everyone. He doesn't believe in everyone having affordable access to healthcare. He doesn't believe in free or subsidized education. He doesn't believe in fair wages. He doesn't believe in affordable housing for all. He doesn't believe in human rights.
That's all "ridiculous shit". You're a loser dude.
I honestly wonder in what way you think the Democrats are worse than the Republicans. Even before Trump turned the Republicans into a clown show, it was the party of greed, selfishness and corruption. Bush lied to start a war with Iraq. Reagan destroyed the middle-class because rich people needed to get richer. They've supported wars for oil, lies about the environment, sinking people deeper into debt.
I completely agree that the Democrats are not always great, but at their worst, they're almost as bad as the Republicans. Never worse. Everything bad they've done, the Republicans have done worse.
