As usual, mass propaganda turns the world black and white, and divides people exactly into two groups to make sure they never unite.

By the way, you can acknowledge that both sides are made up of the worst scum human history has ever seen and vote for the "lesser evil" at the same time! You don't have to, and you probably shouldn't let your vote influence your entire personality and/or belief system.

Both sides can't be "the worst" if one is "the lesser evil".

at best is dark gray and black. there aren't any acceptable candidates. no one is perfect, but come on. how hard is it not to have neoliberal war criminals?

Yes, both of the sides that aren't interested in fixing wealth inequality, the single most impactful trend, which is required to be fixed to fix many other problems, are the same.

The inability to force the rich to make meaningful concessions is a fatal flaw for both parties

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 4 points 6 days ago

they are a ratchet,

Dems are hell bent in maintaining wealth inequality, while conservatives just want to funnel more inequality into their pockets. then democrats forget that they have the power of fixing things and maintain the new status quo.

Totally the same. Biden picked Deb Holland for head of DOI and attempted to make an earnest apology for the US's genocide of Natives via boarding schools.

Tronald Dump did exactly the same thing and cut $300 billion from food assistance that includes Indian country, which are basically third world countries with very little access to food, clean water, housing that isn't a makeshift sheet metal, or healthcare that could prevent life long disabilities and/or premature death.

Biden was lip stick on a pig. Trump is cutting a pig open.

These comments make me realize just how many people don't really know their history.

Glorification of the badies, because the worst came to power...

Genocide Joe is the liberal hero

[–] Soulg@ani.social 4 points 6 days ago

Yeah we need to not make Biden look like he was perfect and only good, it's very easy to illustrate how much better he was than Trump without ignoring the bad.

Why not add a third party here?

[–] epicstove@lemmy.ca 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Because there haven't been any 3rd party presidents :(

You mean like Gil Stein popping her ugly head out of one of Putin's suit pockets every 4 years? 😅

i think it's more likely that the media only gives her attention during the elections.

she's been arrested in may for protesting the genocide and it didn't even make the news.

double checked, she's charged with first degree trespassing and forth degree assault for allegedly kicking a cop and hitting him with a bicycle. they say that the officer was injured.

the court date was may19 but there's literally nothing about it online.
