    Claiming both are the same, this is impressive and sad. It indicates a serious misunderstanding of history since Reagan’s tax changes amongst other policy changes. It shows people don’t remember Citizens United. It means people don’t remember the massive economic change the Ford vs Dodge decision had in the earlier 1900s.

    We live in a world where it’s easier to hold on to a belief than to challenge it. The amazing breadth of information we have access to can be frightening, but it shouldn’t prevent you from researching and attempting to disprove your ideas.

    I don’t see the value of the “both sides” argument. I think vote blue no matter who may have the value of shifting the overton window. But the reality is many of the people on the far left are just non voters making post hoc rationalizations. So I don’t really care about their opinion.

    It’s actually really simple. The coalition required to reform the government includes the right and republicans. They actually vote. Really we should be looking at the tactics used to convert people from the progressive era.

    In this way you avoid counterfactual arguments and actually have a path to follow. As opposed to feeling like you have some magical solution if only you were president.

    JFC the amount of people in this thread who want a more palatable tyrant to be the next president, is concerning.

    Good thing most of these never leave their parents’ basements though.

    It’s just a little genocide. It’s not up to them to stop platforming it, stop asking. It’s up to you to learn to swallow it.

    I like how we all keep posting memes and jerking eachother off instead of burning down Babylon.

    Don’t worry folks, fascism will just blow over soon, lol.

    Wouldn’t it be great if the republicans lost the house and the senate?

    So I really hope the DNC shifts away from genocidal Israel and centrist civility politics and adopts more popular progressive and left-wing platforms. Come on DNC! We need big tent for a big win!
