Obligatory “every accusation is a confession.”

OP: roll for perception

Half this thread (rolls 1): What’s this Boomer shit??

To be fair, rape, genocide, and punishing women for shit that isn’t their fault are all biblical values.

It mostly started with the cold war. The US was obsessed with stopping the perceived threat of communism. In the process, it discovered the benefits of power mongering and war profiteering.

I agree with you that the parties are not the same. The GOP are outright evil puppets of the billionaire class. The Democrats are ineffectual cowards who’ve made careers out of paying lip service to the right thing, and every now and then doing something helpful if it’s convenient for them and doesn’t piss off their billionaire donors. A lot of the time that ends up translating to the same results for most people.

I don’t buy the “sorry, our hands are tied” line we always get from the left. Dems throw up their hands even when they do have majorities. The first meaningful opportunity the Democrats had to obstruct Trump’s agenda, after the left base had been screaming for weeks for their representatives to do something, Schumer rolled over immediately. I can’t take this party seriously anymore.

Working class: “Can we have meaningful reform?”

Conservatives: “No.”

Liberals: "No 😘 🌈 "
