MODERATORS
The "foreign child crusher" in this comic is doing a lot of heavy lifting, for a lot other problems.
Democrats are, for the most part, pro union. They are the only ones supporting Medicare for all. They actually support science and education. They support social safety nets like social security and SNAP. They support gun regulations. They support foreign aid. They support safe access to abortions. They support LGBTQ rights.
Life is demonstrably worse under republican policies for the working class. I’d love it if third parties were an option, but they’re just not. Pretending like things will get better if we just let republicans win is not helping. They are literally turning the US into a fascist police state.
When one party is fine with me, if a little wary because I’m way further left than they are, and the other part literally wants to kill me and people like me, I see it as a pretty big difference.
Joe Biden broke up the rail strike and the democrats have a long history of weakening unions, this is the dumbest most ahistoric shit I've read yet.
Im not gonna bother with the rest of your gish-gallop bullshit except to point out that Roe v. Wade was overturned under a democrat president and it was NEVER codified even when they had run on doing exactly that.
Biden is pro union because he said so. /s Stop judging him by his actions. /s He lost reelection because of failing health. /s His appointee, Mrs. Harris, lost the election due to her laugh and not continuing his unpopular policies. /s
Consider USAID as an example of a machine that keeps doing work regardless of the current office holders. Machines to crush children are part of the system. I acknowledge there were some good outcomes from US soft power. However, the child crushing machine continues to crush children even when the people actuating the lever change.
Its pretty affirming to see all the people bemoaning the loss of USAID, only to, at best, make a vague gesture towards "some accussations" of wrongdoing. Just constantly showing they asses.
True, Joe Biden finally ended the Amtrak worker strike—wait that's not pro-union!
Except for Palestinians.
Except for Israelis
To arm the modern Holocaust.
Please demonstrate that the Palestinian working class have it worse.
The democrats were already supporting the modern Holocaust
"Genocide is fine with me"
"Palestinians are objects, not people"
All of these are so funny. "They're turning the us into a fascist police state"
NEWSFLASH, ASSHOLE! ITS BEEN ONE THE WHOLE TIME. Obama was the one to make the patriot act.
Is this a joke?
No they dont. They campaign on supporting these things, but when they have power, they don't do anything about them at best.
When they had a majority under Biden and Obama, when did they set up Medicare for all? When did they codify abortion rights?
And lets look at their foreign aid:
And life got demonstrably worse under democratic policies for the working class and for people living in other countries.
When did I say that we should let republicans win? I'm pretty sure I never did. The democrats are helping the republicans turn the US into a fascist police state. Remember when Obama increased mass surveillance? Remember when Biden increased funding to the military, ICE, DHS, cops, and helped build out the border wall? Remember when they both mass-deported and tortured people?
Well, that may be the difference between us. I'm pretty far to the left of the Democrats, because I think things like rape, torture, and murder are bad. I see both parties actively supporting those things happening to people like me, and people unlike me. But I guess that doesn't matter to you as long as they aren't going after you.
Oh, you aren't living in reality, you just believe whatever they tell you on the evening news. It makes more sense now.
