“When someone says both sides, its obvious they have not been watching the actions of the political parties. Lets look how they vote.” - /u/armored_cat
Really annoys me when I read apathetic people saying that Dems and Reps are the same. Yes, there’s a lot of crony corpos in the Dems side but they are in no way even close to the same. There’s a lot of stuff the Dems have done that I’m not a fan of, but are still not even close to being the same as Reps.
This is a great comment that outlines the stark differences on voting records that I archived so it wasn’t lost.
They are not the same, make sure you vote to keep the fascists out. Also vote in the primaries so we can get more progressive/populist representatives as candidates. Voting is not the only answer to salvage the future but it’s definitely a part of the answer.
It sucks that you can almost never say anything criticizing the Dems without a bunch of political white knights knee jerking “SO YOU WANT REPUBLICANS IN OFFICE??!!!”
No, just want Dems to be less like the Republicans I grew up with 40 years ago.
“I’m going to vote against Joe Manchin, first chance I get to in a democratic primary”
“So you want to vote for a republican?”
“No, I intend to vote in a democratic primary for an actual democrat”
