      And some democrats. Let’s stop thinking that everyone is defined by the party they belong to.

        Shut the fuck up. Don’t pretend this is some both sides shit. Establishment dems are guilty of corporate appeasement and corruption. Child sexual predation and abuse isn’t an endemic issue within the party like it is with Republicans.

          I’m not pretending pal. It’s a human nature universal thing not a limited political party thing. You shut the fuck up and open a book.

              Are you being willfully ignorant? What I’m saying is that not only Republicans are pedos. I’m done here.

                No shit…not all pedophiles are republican, but if 9 buildings are burned to the ground by an arsonist then one is destroyed by a chef accidentally starting a grease fire you have a arson problem, not a structure fire problem.

            At this point, there’s not much distinction. There’s a thoroughly documented amount of sexual predators working as Republican politicians. If you’re still supporting the party despite the mountain of high quality evidence of gross misconduct, the only excuse you’ve got is that you’re information sphere hasn’t even made mention of it. Even that excuse is pretty thin at this point because historically right leaning media is also making mention of the Jeffery Epstein allegations.

          This is not a maga comment, this is comment that points out that general hate against anyone seeing themselves as republicans is as stupid as republicans hating anyone seeing themselves as democrats.

          If we let us be blinded by hatred, only suffering will follow

            Exactly. Hopefully people will get there but this comment thread shows how far we are. Us vs them is not how things get better.

            Nope. Yours was a comment that said Both Sides Are The Same. Which was bullshit. All Republicans always vote for gigantic tax cuts for billionaire elites and all Democrats always vote to increase taxes on billionaires. So on the most critical issue of all, both sides are literally as far apart as is possible.

              Mine?! What?! Read again who commented what…

              I think you are a bit confused…

              But yes, you can choose to look only at things that are different for most republicans and democrats, but you can choose as well topics where you find democrats and republicans in favour and against at on both sides.

              💁🏻 but I fear, that is too complicated for people growing up in an only two party “democracy”.

            In first past the post system, you’re either for or against. Clearly you’ve made your bed, be prepared to sleep in it.

              If I would live in America, I would not fight against republicans nor democrats.

              I would fight against gerrymandering, against the pardon rule, against winner takes it all, against death penalty, against no absolute majority requirement, against hate in general, against police brutality, against unregulated capitalism, against destruction of nature, against CO2 pollution, against frekking (damn no clue how to write that, but what I mean is the way of getting gas that makes burnable gas coming out of the water giving thingy above the sink), against in-transparency of government (make it more transparent and better controllable by demo (demo is the word for all the people living there and is part of the word democracy (democracy meaning power to the people))), against healthcare only being accessible if you are rich, and against all the things I forgot on this list.

                If you lived in America, the Republicans would be putting you in a fenced off area with tents, with minimal food and water, and with no ability to contact a legal representative.

                Because people aren’t choosing the DNC, this is happening to people just like you. The things you listed are happening because people don’t support the DNC. Progress isn’t happening because the DNC haven’t had more than 50 seats in over a decade, conservative reforms are actively making everything worse over time.

                    So you at least admit that we need to start with voting DNC as a bare minimum, to remove every GOP possible.

            This is some BS mental gymnastics. YOUR side is corrupt and self serving, and in all probability you have never personally gained any benefit when GOP are in power, unless you are very wealthy, but you STILL keep on voting against your own best interests. It makes one wonder WHY someone would do that, and the answer is because you like to see other demographics being hurt. GOP is the politics of racism and hate, and if you sit at a table full of racist haters, then YOU are a racist hater too. You have NO right to sit there and smugly preach “…but both sides!”. As a non American, what I see is that GOP-ers are self absorbed, utter cunts, and Dems seem to be decent people. No brownie points for guessing what I think YOU are.
