Doing my part

I like how both sides are constantly complaining about the erosion of free society and democracy but both sides also support questionable legislation.

Pelosi: That’s right, we feel morally better to you. Now go die in the street from easily preventable needs because a company lobbied me for you to die.

"Did voting help?"

"Yes, it got Trumped kicked out of office in 2020. But the next time people decided that not voting would be the best option, so he got voted right back in."

Trump: I'll be a dictator but only on day one.

When the only thing you can offer is "make it harder for Republicans" you've already lost.

Naw, it's gonna be "What did you do during the genocide in Gaza?"

[zarkanian@sh.itjust.works]

I mean, you do that whether you vote or not. But when you try to tell people that they have to do more than vote, they don't like it.

[zarkanian@sh.itjust.works]

People did vote, though. They just voted for Trump.

"Well, I also was good at finding faults in anyone who were trying to improve some things and attack them for not improving all things."

"Fall in love, fall in line," indeed. Guess there's just no completing with a cult of personality.

“Fucking legend”

Hey I was more aware of it than the last three (that I know of) in my lifetime.

"Have you considered that it just wasn't thrilling enough for me to vote against literal fascism?"

[makyo@lemmy.world]

We lost with Citizens United, but it isn’t nothing to fight to keep things from getting worse

[mutilationwave@lemmy.world]

One side is demonstrably worse in literally every political action/debate. I'm no Democrat but this both sides stuff has to stop if we're ever going to make progress.

[spankmonkey@lemmy.world]

They did, he won two terms, and they learned absolutely nothing from it.

As an aside, I like how the original poster aged like milk. No one sees "The Great War" as great by those who survived it and by the future. It is not talked about positively in the same way as Napoleonic wars or the Second World War (except if you were an Axis soldier or civilian victim of war crimes of course).

[possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip]

That's only true if you believe one side. The Democrats have also repeatedly expanded surveillance just like the Republicans. There only seem to be a handful of congress people who are are concerned with privacy.
