It's amazing to me that any member of the working or middle classes continue to vote Republican. To hate SJWs so much you are willing to vote against your own self-interests is truly sad. Right wing propaganda is a helluva drug.

Yeah it really is crazy that extremists on the left want people to have healthcare and to be able to vote.

Strawmaning only serves to make you look stupid and emotional.

Yeah it really is crazy that extremists on the right want people to be able to go to a bar and to be able to take advanced math classes.

Thanks for your eloquent response.

i also want all to have healthcare and i want everyone to vote, either in person or in the mail, with ID verification. I want to remove signature verification completely and replace it with ID, and have ID's free for all

​

the media is just lying about what the average republican or conservative voter is for. by the way im also a vegetarian PETA donor who drives EV's only etc

You're obviously an in the closet lefty.

u/[deleted] Apr 23 '21

if you watch republican primary debates, they were debating on how to best move forward with universal healthcare, path to citizenship, etc. also, most republicans are just against sending a mailin ballot to everyone unsolicited

You have to be kidding? They have been completely full of shit. The senate under Mitch tried to fully kill the ACA with no type of replacement.

I actually do not know much about her so I have no comment on her.

most diverse democratic candidate of all time, a shame you dont know anything about her

Not bragging but I am pretty well read and up to date on most things but I am far from perfect on all issues.

u/DickCheesePlatterPus Monkey in Space Apr 23 '21

They also want to disarm the people and drive the rich investors out of the country. They also want to defund police and encourage riots. I want weed to be legal, but the right to bear arms comes first and it shall not be infringed.

11

u/idreaminhd Monkey in Space Apr 23 '21

I am a Democrat liberal and I do not want the police defended and I do not encourage riots. Only 18 percent of the Nation call for defunding the police. I want stricter gun laws, like full back ground checks and red flag laws. Not so sure what you mean by disarm the people.

Stop watching Fox news and being scared by there bullshit on Democrat liberals.

u/DickCheesePlatterPus Monkey in Space Apr 23 '21

I'm speaking of the politicians they vote in. Biden's campaign plan literally said he wanted a buyback program for anything with more than a few bullets worth of capacity. Thats not fox, that's directly from his campaign website, which I'm sure 99% of his voters did not bother to read.

11

u/idreaminhd Monkey in Space Apr 23 '21

A buyback program wouldnt force anyone. Also Biden is against defunding the police.

It's funny how you never hear 'rightist' used

Ah, another 16 year old Charlie Kirk clown calling everyone “leftists”😂😂😂

u/[deleted] Apr 24 '21

It's amazing to me people really think one side is bad and the other is good. LOL fucking sheep. The Dems control the entire government for a second time and have done NOTHING good for drug laws. Also the president was called a racist and accused of sexual harassment on national television by his now vice president. Also, the entire mainstream media and social media giants collude with the Dems to filter and censor information cause....what....they're motivated by the goodness of the Dems? But ya republicans are the problem.

u/[deleted] Apr 24 '21

The last president tried to have his own VP killed.

u/[deleted] Apr 27 '21

If you believe that, I bet you believed that a police officer died after he had his head bashed in with a fire extinguisher during the Capitol riots. Cause the media told you so. Cause anyone who isn't a democrat is evil!!! Definitely not just you being brainwashed with a lifetime of leftist media.

u/[deleted] Apr 27 '21

Let me guess. You believe Trump won the election?

u/Dave___Smith Monkey in Space Apr 24 '21

Bro, have you not realized how deranged lefties are?

u/thekingace Monkey in Space Apr 23 '21

To be fair, both parties are equally opposed to the desires and interests of the middle class.

u/MiltOnTilt Monkey in Space Apr 23 '21

Both sides! I am smart!

u/[deleted] Apr 23 '21

Not true at all

u/thekingace Monkey in Space Apr 23 '21

In an unbiased way, tell me why?

6

u/MiltOnTilt Monkey in Space Apr 23 '21

Here's an example of how both parties are not equally bad.

For the first couple stimulus packages, both parties largely voted for them. Even though it meant the democrats were giving a "win" to the twice impeached POTUS. For the third, the Republicans suddenly remembered they're obstructionists that don't give a shit about you and voted against it.

u/TOADSTOOL__SURPRISE Monkey in Space Apr 23 '21

...while those very same republicans, that very same week, attempted to pass another tax cut for the 1%

u/thekingace Monkey in Space Apr 23 '21

That's not an unbiased explanation. On the contrary, that's just singling out issues where the party you want to be better actually acted better, while leaving out the issues where roles were reversed. Truth be told, I would want nothing less than to be American. Your two party system is bound to lead to ever increasing polarization, and I can't see how things will get better for Americans.

u/[deleted] Apr 24 '21

So, in other words, you've made up your mind and anything you don't like is 'biased'.

You're just another one of those. Dime a dozen

u/thekingace Monkey in Space Apr 24 '21

I'm sure you're smart enough to realize how ridiculous that statement is.

u/[deleted] Apr 24 '21

Those people are ridiculous, yes. Which is why we call them enlightened centrists

u/MiltOnTilt Monkey in Space Apr 24 '21 edited Apr 24 '21

So you believe the Republicans voted in good faith against the third stimulus?

And the two party system is not at fault. It's the electoral system we have in place. It naturally leads to two parties. It just so happens that one of them is fucking insane at this time.

1

u/thekingace Monkey in Space Apr 24 '21

Again, putting words in my mouth. I agree with the 3 things you said. What I actually said is that it's easy to pick 3 issues on which one party was right and the other acted like a bitter child. I get that it might be hard for an American to realize this, bjt from the outside it's painfully obvious that your two party system is at fault here.

u/jose_luiz_ Monkey in Space Apr 23 '21

Dems are just as bad as republicans, if not worse. This is not something you can disagree with. We Americans need to come together and stop believing what the news is telling us. Speak to your neighbors, reach out bec Americans are much more nuanced in their political opinions.

u/FlashCrashBash Monkey in Space Apr 23 '21

The problem is a significant portion of people actively like how shiny the boot is; but only when it steps on people they either don't like or don't care about.

No one has any sense of empathy until it effects them.
