Different thread but lmao
America, you are not picking a president but an ADMINISTRATION…"
me checking the names of the Trump appointees that are still in place after Biden took office almost four years ago
“Do you did Trump did”
They have such a way with words.
There are too many people on that sub who are waaaay too old to be watching The Daily Show in 2024. If they’re making excuses about Obama’s supermajority, they are ancient. Literal baby brains.
What’s up with liberals knee jerk urge to avoid absorbing contradictory/ conflicting information? Instead of taking the second to see why people are saying xyz (in this case,Biden is old, genocide is bad, demand better from politicians) they double down on being proudly ignorant. They’re so eager to be exploited

liberals tend to view politics through the lens of personal morality. you’re a good person if you support democrats. the inverse of that is if the democrat in office is bad, they view that as their own personal failing for “picking wrong” so it causes cognitive dissonance that causes them to keep doubling down.

Truths are complicated and challenging. We don’t have to take sides or teams; although I know it’s difficult given then times we live in, where we feel the pressure to take sides given how fast we are bombarded with information. Join me and others in the effort to be comfortable with cognitive dissonance, and remember that regardless of any political leaning or nationality, we are all connected by our common humanity. Let’s not antagonize eachother. Good luck in your search for answers.

imagine seeing what’s going on in Gaza and being able to say this. they must be totally empty inside
just abdicating from humanity. like i can’t imagine someone who really believes in the zionist narrative not taking a side? SOMEONE is being genocided here, right? if you don’t think its Palestinians than its gotta be israelis right?
scientific evidence that it is possible for humans to survive without a spine.
It seems more recent, at least to me
In years past, they were fine with criticizing their leadership, they even kind of enjoyed it; doing so helped make them look more ‘educated’ and ‘impartial’ than their conservative counterparts. Something changed with Trump, ‘vote blue no matter who’ really got taken to heart, and now making even the most milquetoast criticism is seen as an indictment on you and an indicator that you are stupid or a Russian asset or a conservative
