Silly lib. Destroying the country is bipartisan billionaire driven affair.
You can blame only Republicans which even if they disappeared wouldn’t solve the issue, or you can acknowledge that both parties are corrupted by oligarchs and PACS
While I agree with your premise, its very disingenuous to imply a lot of issues wouldnt be solved/improved if Republicans blinked out of existence like a Thanos Snap.
I think you both agree that it’s more complicated than that and it’s a systemic thing effecting both parties. I think he just wrote it differently than you read it
My optimism for the future is dead at this point. Even if we miraculously have a collective pivot into sustainable practices tomorrow, this train ain’t stopping in my lifetime. Maybe it’ll be better for future generations, I sincerely hope it is and I’ll keep doing what I can to ensure that. But my future is doomed to dealing with the mess that unchecked greed and exploitation has wreaked upon our world.
Yeah, this is kind of my attitude as well, sadly. I’m a younger millennial, but I feel I’ve been around long enough to determine we’re truly just a pot of boiling crabs dragging everyone else down to try to save ourselves.
I think one of the hardest parts of getting older, at least for me, is watching the childlike wonder and hope for the world within yourself slowly vanish. I’ll never stop fighting the good fight, but the light has definitely died in my heart. Honestly, sad as fuck.
Hope is a toxic ideaology. It does nothing but destroy us, like a cheap steak in hydrofluoric acid.
It stays our hand, and slows our response.
Hope needs to die.
and be replaced by an unbridled, mindless, blackout rage.
Crabs don’t need to boil to hold each other down, they’re just assholes.
Like humans.
True! I was conflating a bucket of crabs and boiling frogs. I guess we’re both though, so it’s pretty fitting.
Spoiler: It won’t. The wealth gap inequality will continue to grow. Most of the world will essentially become slaves to the corporations and wealthy elites.
Why are people downvoting you? People are in denial and shock I guess. America is over.
Unbelievable that there are some Americans in politics who wake up every day and consciously decide they want to destroy everything around them.
Unbelievable that there are some Americans in politics who wake up every day and consciously decide they want to put their foot on someone else’s neck so that they can feel superior, even if it means they are worse off.
Ftfy
Yes, thank you! You got it.
I’m tired of the future being destroyed by billionaires.
Who just so happen to wholeheartedly support the Republican agenda in the US, with the exception of Gates.
You don’t make billions by supporting fair wages, labor unions, health and safety regulations, affordable and accessible healthcare, social programs, socialized infrastructure, and higher taxes on the wealthy.
Billionaires bankroll both parties, what are you talking about
Yes but somehow those are way less agressive at taking away your rights and even try to make the world moderately better. It’s the difference between the guys hacking holes in the boat and the ones not fixing the holes fast enough. Sure, both are letting the boat sink, but there does seem a serious difference.
I quite enjoy that analogy, thank you.
To be fair, there are plenty of billionaires backing the dems too, they’re just a bit more subtle about their intentions, but they are not pioneers of the working class.
Of course the dems getting in in 2024 mightve slowed the roll of fascism, but it would’ve just delayed it rather than solved any of the underlying issues. With the exception of some truly progressive members of the party, the dems are basically just there to uphold the status quo.
Most of the billionaires that back the republicans also back the democrats, and the democrats also have their fair share of billionaires funding/controlling their candidates all their own. It is a uni-party system that puts on a kabuki show of ‘right vs left’ for their entertainment. Stop buying tickets for it!
Yes exactly!!
I understand the frustration around those saying the parties are the same, I really do, because in the short term, the chaos of the Trump administration would not be happening if Kamala were to get in, but I’m personally extremely frustrated by people putting the dems/kamala on a pedestal as if they were going to do anything to actually help people.
It’s an oligarchy through and through. Kamala wouldve prevented a lot of the mass deportation, but she wouldn’t have prevented the wars across the world, and she would’ve done very little to close the wealth gap between rich and poor.
The only thing that’ll cause real change is for the working class to finally realize that the billionaires are our real enemy and there are a lot more of us than there are of them.
Yeah, people forget that Democrats have fully adopted Republican immigration policy. Look at the actual deportation numbers. They were higher under Obama than under Trump. Trump is just a lot louder about it. And Kamala supported building the border wall.

You’re not really tired of it if all you can manage to do is raise your hand
Just, ah, be careful of the angle you hold it at when you raise it.
Indeed!
Can also raise it at your side to avoid the bad zone.
And don’t leave your bite marks at a random fast food shop.
I just want free public transit, affordable housing//rent/food/bills and some free time to actually enjoy being alive, is that too much to ask?
Republicans: Yes, you entitled whiny millenial. Also, no one wants to work. Also you are probably a groomer.
You filthy communist.
-actual nazi magats
Fill your bottle with one hand while working with the other. Don’t bother washing your hands, they’ll return the merchandise you’re mailing out anyway.
/s if you really need it
Not me. I’m indifferent about the Monarchy, and at least it means we don’t have a President as they have an uncanny habit of becoming dictators.
How about tired of the uni-party system! We need real change, politicians who care about the workers, not corporations and their oligarchs.
Right on, no argument here.
Chickens roosting.
I would raise both hands, so we can include the Democrats as well.
Both are part of the problem. Along with their owners.
When you say this, it leads the uneducated to conclude that the parties are remotely similar in terms of being problematic. Is this a lie you intend to propagate?
Hmmmm, both supported genocide for one. Both take large sums from oligarchs and PACs to do their bidding. You can perhaps argue on some of the social issues but beyond that I don’t see how you make a large difference in their corruption
Yes but the Democrats support LGBT rights
On the matters most important, they are the same. Both are hell bent on the concentration of wealth and power with the elite.
Republicans just add the flavour of being overtly evil, where Democrats pretend they are good.
The political system is the problem, what we have today, is what it has been designed to do.
It’s not a lie though. If the Democrats don’t want to appear to be “remotely similar”, maybe they could try distancing themselves from the Republicans, instead of adopting the Republican policies.
One of them is certainly a much larger problem.
My list of “ways conservatives have fucked or tried to fuck me or people I care about” goes all the way back to age 13.
I’m not a cheerleader for democrats, but I think we can make our own thread to bitch about them. Only one party is speedwalking us to the 4th Reich right now.
I don’t disagree. Republicans are overtly evil.
But many people ignore that both have been facilitating the concentration of wealth and power that is at the core of all the systemic problems affecting almost everyone.
It started around the Reagan era and was reinforced by die bushes and Clinton.
Obama was the big “Change” candidate that was supposed to reverse the trend, but he betrayed people by entrenching it instead. They distracted people though the token measure of “wokeness” and obamacare, which did nothing to address the causes of those problems.
People are right to say Dems are different when it comes to domestic policy, but they agree with Republicans on almost all foreign policy decisions. A significant portion of the criticisms Democrat representatives made of the recent Iran bombings amounted to, “Hey, you didn’t give us a chance to agree wholeheartedly!”
And most of this “slide into fascism” is just taking foreign policies and applying them domestically. In that sense, Democrats hold a lot of the blame as well.
Both parties are all in on Empire, but differ slightly on how to divvy up the spoils of war.
No argument from me. What Constantinople was to Rome, the US is to the British.
tired of the future being destroyed by capitalists and zionists. sorry, i repeated myself there…
