The Political Thread

[Grimoire Lenin]

What really needs to happen is a newer alliance within the Democratic party to push out the old guard and actually provide popular policies for the Left.

I’ve been both sides are dogshit for the longest time and have no issue calling out either but also don’t talk politics a ton cuz I get it from both sides

Yeah my issue is specifically when you try and criticize them and someone who claims to agree that the thing is wrong has a first response that's "yeah but what about..." I find that they don't think it's actually as wrong as they claim to in that case.

In your case you just agree with whoever first criticized bc you're smart and realize you don't have to defend something you allegedly disagree with anyway to "own the libs" lol

I think we need to reject all current parties by old fucks and start over. Ban every long term politician from office. Vet our new ones better and make trading and bribes and superpacs and any paid influence illegal and with harsh jail time penalties. Then we go full fdr (I think) n go monopoly and trust busting

 

[Chris]

That was the other Roosevelt, Teddy that did the trust busting if I remember right

The bull Moose himself?

Fdr must be the one all the libertarians worship then?

This is why I don’t bother talking about my politics. I hate them all, but when I say that, I just get berated and what-aboutism from both sides. Not even worth it for me.

Nah he's the socialist. He invented all the social safety nets like welfare

 

[Chris]

He's the one I worship

We seem to have a lot of common ground

 

[Comrade Khan]

probably because right now being apolitical is pretty much saying yes to fascism. And I know it's unfortunate and unfun and frustrating, but thats where were at,

Yeah I’m not into defending stuff I don’t like at all

Do you only say it when someone is pointing out what one side is doing?

If I say "Trump made fun of a disabled person that's wrong" and your response is "but what about the time Obama did..." Instead of "yeah man that's wack". Do you not see the problem?

If your response to ONE SIDE being criticize is "yeah but both sides" that just sounds like you're cool with both sides and telling us we can't criticize anything happening right now if someone else did it years earlier

 

[Comrade Khan]

oh ok, I get them all mixed up tbh US history is like, not a thing here obviously. dont think we ever covered the civil war either really.

That's my only point and somehow it's already being construed to "Chris thinks everyone that hates both sides is bad" lol nope I'm only talking about the people that pretend to hate both sides but only point out how they hate both sides when one side is being criticized
