Garbage post. There aren’t two sides to vote for, there is one.

I ain’t fucking voting in bourgeois elections no matter how much libs try to brow beat me online for it.

My time and all of yours is better used to actually help your and our communities. You should just stay on reddit with this smug bullshit.

I can’t believe I escaped Reddit just to fall back in the same political controversy here as well x-x

I feel like it shouldn’t be controversial to say that the party currently supporting and funding a genocide while boasting about how they will implement Trump’s fascist boarder policy more effectively and more fascistly is not fundamentally different to the one these smug dipshits crow about being the greatest threat to “democracy” or whatever the fuck.

Welp I totally regret commenting my opinion absolutely didn’t think someone would jump and tell me something about politics, anyway you’re correct I respect your opinion about this, the Us should spend their money on shit that helps them or contributes to the world, funding a war that been on for a 100 years and still no hope of it ending anytime soon is similar to a person burning their salary to revive a mythical creature that they read in a book or some shit, please no one comments on my comment anything political otherwise I will delete and start blocking instances, the whole war is stupid and anyone contributing anyhow other than a Real solution to end it is not far from stupid, and the stupidest is the ones who kept the war going for 100 years of failure (if you’re too dumb and couldn’t invade it just give up and let go all history’s smart nations been there and chose the smart decision of “if didn’t succeed the first time give up or get your needs politically by playing the long term game”.) all this Bs escalating to giving me headaches from these political posts.

Propagandistic bullshit.

Saying you can’t say “both sides suck” means we’re stuck with only two and must pick one.

Two is not the only option.

But it’s difficult to mobilize the bread eaters as they watch the circus.

This is an ancient opinion. People have been complaining about America’s two party system for literal centuries.

George Washington warned Americans about the dangers of a two party system. That’s how far back it goes.

I thought this was about Israel doing a genocide because people (especially Israeli people) can’t separate Hamas from Palestine.

But everyone seems to be taking it as a commentary on the two party system despite only one of these things being new to this year?

Palestine itself is a two party system. Hamas vs Fatah, the former controls the Gaza Strip, the latter controls the West Bank (specifically the areas not occupied by Israel)

The ideological signifying here, though, is squarely situated within the language of American politics. All Lives Matter was a reactionary counter to Black Lives Matter, a distinctly American political movement. Similarly, “both sides suck” is something which has been repeated ad nauseam about American politics. As such, the meme suggests itself that it’s about American politics. At least that’s how I’m reading it. If the OP meant it to be about Israel and Palestine, I think they could have framed it better.

Also, the guy in the meme is a… checks notes… Canadian that goes around debating freshmen at American college campuses.
