This isn’t even false equivalency, it’s just blatantly false.
I only see this argument made by conservatives. It is a deliberate attempt to drive a racist and LGBT-phobic wedge between the white working class and the Democratic Party. I have never seen a progressive person demand less support for the rights of minorities.
I also favor raising the minimum wage, making universities free to attend, and having universal healthcare - but LGBT rights aren’t the reason we don’t have those things. The GOP is the reason we don’t have those things, and it’s not like if the Dems said “Fuck it, arrest and kill the gays” that the GOP would suddenly support workers’ rights.
If you want to help the poor, vote out the party that says shit like this.
Mhm of course! Third year into the Democrat administration and wealth inequality in the US keep reaching new staggering heights.
Hmmm … and which party is running the House of Representatives that had the record for getting less done than any other in the history of the country?
You keep telling yourselves; it’s the other teams fault! All the while the situation is only geting worse and worse for the working class
And all the wealth inequality that happened during Trump?
Crickets from this guy
You know who posts boTh sIdEs memes? Republicans trying to distract you from the shit they are doing.
The Republican one should also say no with Nazi flags, crucifix, and a gun
It’s sad to see this up voted so much right under an article about democrats trying to provide free community college.
I feel bad for posting this now because I wasn’t trying to make false equivalencies. Unequivocally, I find that someone identifying as a Democrat politician is more likely to be progressive and humanitarian than one identifying as a Republican politician.
I am not sure the demeanor of the Democratic Party in general has anything to do with intrinsic ideology because many party members used to be against gay marriage in the 90s. It’s a good thing that one party (Democrats) is open to changing itself according to public will, which is what you’d want in a representative democracy.
What this means to me is that you shouldn’t take party demeanors for granted, and keep pushing for the change you want.
Edit: so yeah, if you don’t want four years of conservatives breaking all progressive pillars of society, go out and fucking vote!!
Election time, so of course there’s these “both sides” bullshit posts that will try to tell you that Donald Trump is somehow the better choice, cause he at least stares you in the eyes while he fucks you.
