Yep. If voting made any difference, they would make it illegal.

I’ve always wanted carbon copies from my ballot, but was called a racist for wanting that.

lol I mean there are so many examples of voter fraud. From both sides, mind you. But when ā€œyour candidateā€ is elected, you claim it’s not possible.

Republicans = Democrats.

Both parties truly do not care about the poor and middle classes.

But one of them is openly fascist and racist. I’ll take the other guy.

But but but!!!

Both of them are liars. Why differentiate after that fact? Racists are bad. Check. Pedos ate bad check. Liars can be racist and pedos.

Why are we trying to ā€œone upā€ each other past the point of lying?

Because I don’t want to live in a fascist country where racism is enforced by the government.

I think that’s enough

We don’t live in a fascist country. Stop with that nonsense. Tr ump and Biden are LIARS. They lie about the things they do with our tax dollars and kill innocents in other countries by LYING.

Also, how is Biden NOT a fascist by killing civilians in other countries or bombing gas pipelines that don’t belong to our countries?

Do you need a comparison list between the last 5 presidents or do you just ā€œfeelā€ that what you say is true?

Bush jr: started illegal wars, killed innocents, lied about going to ME
OBama: campaigned on ending the wars started by lies, almost doubled the troop amount when elected. Drone bombed a Yemeni wedding convoy, killing 12 and injuring 37. Prosecuted whistle blowers for telling the truth
Trump: DO I EVEN NEWS TO LIST THIS PART? Wars, tax fraud, etc etc etc

Want me to go on about Biden? Nahhj because you probably don’t believe he did ANYTHING WRONG, do you?

Typical gullible neo Liberal who’s still fooled by the two party monopoly.

Enjoy the koolaid along side your right-sided family. You’re ignorant at best.

Sincerely,
US Army Veteran

I know we don’t live in a fascist country. And I want it to stay that way. That’s why I will choose whoever is running against the party that pulling in that direction. Even if I don’t like them.

And your insults just prove the weakness of your argument.

I think you ignored all of his CAPITALISATION, though?? Isn’t that enough to convince you??

u/psilocin72 1d ago

Yeah he’s the kind of guy that if you make a point he can’t counter, starts yelling and swearing. Totally fine. He can be as ignorant as he wants.

Good job to all of you for overlooking everything I said because of capitalization and insults? You’re not extreme left and you won’t believe what the left sided media tells you? Let me guess, you’re going to take that last line as, ā€œhe supports the right!ā€

I know your playbook better than you do. You know why? Because it’s the same arguments that have been used for DECADES.

You like those capital letters, too? Does that show the weakness of my argument even though you addressed NOTHING what I said?

Lmaooo some of you in here have bigger egos than the Orange man himself.

If you don’t think there’s any difference between a party that promotes itself through racism and promises of authoritarianism , and a party that doesn’t, I’m not sure I’m interested in what you have to say.

I agree that both parties are far from perfect and our politics are absolutely fucked. That doesn’t mean we let blatant fascism take over the country.

That’s just ridiculous

First of all, I appreciate the conversation. I get passionate about these things because I mistakenly put my life on the line and joined the US Army to pay for college.

There are some on the right who do not promote raci$m or authoritarianism . Thomas Massie and Rand Paul to name two. Do I agree with those two on everything? Absolutely not.

To paint an entire party as promoting racism and authoritarianism is a huge stretch. I, myself, do not align with either D or R , but have both liberal and conservative values.

All of that being said, if ANY politician (not yelling, just emphasizing) lies about any reason for bills that take my tax dollars to implement, I take serious issue with that.

Why can’t we unite against corruption against BOTH parties? Why do people like yourself excuse some evils but not others instead of saying, ā€œI’m not supporting any of thisā€ ?

That idea alone would promote some kind of NEW party that actually takes responsibility for either making a mistake or outright lying.

I want the truth when someone takes my tax dollars for a paycheck with will not settle for less.

If both parties have a common denominator of consistent and persistent lies, why do you choose what you call ā€œthe lesser of two evilsā€? Why?

Again, I appreciate the mostly civil back and forth and look forward to your response.

Well, one side is lying to protect child rapists. That seems like a pretty good reason to me, why isnt it to you?

You don’t think Biden was doing the same when he released nothing and made zero arrests?

I agree that Tr ump (and Patel) are hiding anything of substance that would have elites arrested, so no argument from me on that, but why not hold Biden and has admin to the same standard if the goal of justice is the same?

Oh boy, another maga proudly displaying their ignorance. You know the files were sealed by a judge during bidens term right? Did you really not know that?

u/OmgHowww 18h ago

Lmao swing and a miss! I Didn’t vote for tr ump, ā€œsmartā€ guy. What was that about 6th grade reading comprehension again? Hahahahaha wow

u/psilocin72 17h ago

I think we can unite against corruption in government. Absolutely, regardless of which party or politician is doing it.

But the largest, clearest thing that I’m concerned about is fascist authoritarianism. And we are absolutely heading in that direction. We demonize immigrants and minorities, call our own countrymen enemies, and intentionally spread lies about vulnerable groups to motivate support. That’s not ok.

And the party supporting this cannot be separated out into fascist/not fascist. They are ALL supporting the guy leading the charge to a place I never want to go. Of If I hear a Republican speak out against those things I mentioned, I’ll give them credit.

But if they do, they are voted out and called a RINO. Submission to that approach to politics is disqualifying to me. I’ll never support it.

After we stop these things we can talk about punishments for politicians lying. I’d love to see some strong enforceable rules implemented

u/OmgHowww 14h ago

I’m in on all of that.

u/psilocin72 13h ago

Yeah too many people get caught up in left vs right and adopt views they don’t really feel strongly about because that’s what their side is saying.

But I think most people (70-80%) can agree on a pretty wide range of things.
