A liberal would feed 100 people on the off chance one needed food. A conservative would deny 100 people food on the off chance one didn’t deserve it.
Liberals are clearly the lesser evil, but sadly both get into bed with lobbyists and capitalists that created the housing and food shortage in the first place. Liberals just want slightly less evil capitalism while conservatives want aggressively more evil capitalism.
Maybe they’d give them a tax break after they filled out a dozen forms proving need.
Libs hate universal programs and they hate direct aid. Hence why instead of free healthcare, we got obamacare. Instead of cash to help new parents buy the things they need, Kamala is promoting a tax break. Instead of free college, we got complicated loan forgiveness schemes that seem entirely random if it applies to you and how much.
You seem to think change happens in a vacuum and that at no stage has anyone attempted to stand in front of the things that have helped millions.
On one hand you have the Right who wish harm on an honestly cartoonish scale. Like, it’s difficult to fathom just how much suffering they want to cause others without somehow doing mental gymnastics to wrap your mind around it. They are the cartoon evil villains at the top, while towards the bottom are amongst the poorest, least educated, and angriest people. The vast majority of whom have been living under Republican leadership for generations.
On the other you have a flawed group composed of many different groups whose opinions largely intersect, though often with key differences. Some of them wish harm on others, that is inevitable, though by magnitudes less than the Right. Many of them just want life to be better, and the rest want life to be better for all, including those on the Right. The States traditionally under the Left’s leadership have higher quality of life in every measurable aspect, and greater access to institutions who can help them.
You talk about the smaller steps the Left takes while completely ignoring the small steps the Right has taken leading up to this. A gradual decline decades in the making. We CAN fix it, and we could use the help of those who want to be heard. All we ask is to help us win this election and then be the voices that help push that positive change after the election.
the Left
I’m not criticizing the left, look at the specific things I’ve criticized and who implements them. Liberals are not the left.
All we ask is to help us win this election
The dems would rather lose than do what their electorate demands, hence the year long genocide they’re supporting.
You are not voting for libs or cons though. You are voting for one of two corporations the difference of which in actions, not words, on key policies is miniscule. Of those one is openly criminal and another is not, so you’re voting for the latter. You want the boot up your ass to be legally solid.
It’s a pretty feudal dynamic.
Man, one group is actively creating policy and legislation to deny people who I care about the right to exist. The other is doing the opposite.
Get that eighth grade both sides horseshit outta here. Grow up.
The other is arming Israel. I got that you don’t care about people they kill.
You should give that intersectionism thing a try.
I was going to post about how we should reform mental healthcare for the better.
I had facts and figures, handy infographics; the whole 9 yards.
After reading your comment, I don’t need to post anything at all. Everyone can see how dismal our mental healthcare is from those few sentences you typed up.
Thank you!
How the fuck people like you can say shit like that after Trump’s three SCOTUS picks were responsible for striking down Roe v. Wade after 50 years, then went after Chevron and said that a president could commit crimes if they are official acts, I don’t know.
And surprisingly the most religious people tend to vote for the elephant…
This isn’t surprising at all, if you look at their rhetoric.
They need the world to self-destruct so Jesus will come back and give them their paradise. Nearly all Christian sects are doomsday cults, because Jesus was an apocalyptic preacher.
Nuclear war? Good, that brings Jesus back. Climate apocalypse? Awesome, because Jesus will come back, as prophesied. Israel implodes? Best case scenario, because this is exactly how Jesus comes back.
They want all of us to burn for the sake of their doomsday fantasies.
I saw an interesting video a few days ago that touched on this. It proposes that most liberals think of problems and how to solve them. Teenage pregnancy is up? How do we increase sex education and access to contraception?
Where most conservatives think of problems and how to punish the people that cause them. Mostly stemming from the idea that living a just and moral life - like they do - means you won’t have those problems, so it’s your own fault if you do. Teenage pregnancy is up? Quit being a slut and instead raise this baby that was a result of your own slutty behavior.
I’ve been looking at things through this lense the past few days and see this way of thinking popping up over and over again.
the most religious people
Catholics and Jews predominantly support Democrats. Idk if I’d describe Southern Baptists and Mormons as “more religious” than Unitarians or Muslims or Wiccans. That seems to suggest religious liberals are… What? Just phoning it in because they’re not reactionary in their beliefs?
Yeah this is biased. The Democrats are only like 20% good, Republicans are 1% good.
Remember folks if you have the option of voting for 99% Hitler or 100% Hitler, vote for 99% Hitler.
You lost me with the 2nd paragraph. There is no world in which I would vote for 99% Hitler. Any system that only gives you a choice between 90% Hitler and 100% Hitler shouldn’t exist. At that point my vote would be to burn it down and create something better.
Remember folks if you have the option of voting for 99% Hitler or 100% Hitler, vote for 99% Hitler.
Casting my ballot on the way into the gas chamber.
