    This type of comment that says their side is right… are just hilarious to me. Corporations bought your government through bill riders packed in 1,000 page bills.

    Neither side wants to fix this mess, because their millions in campaign funding relies on keeping corporations and fat cats happy.

    If you are in the bottom 95%, you aren’t being served by your government anymore.

    This Conservative vs Liberal fighting is exactly what they want. Serves as a nice distraction.

      bOtH siDeZ tHo, riTe?

      This type of comment that says both sides are equally bad are just hilarious to me. People riding the fence is what got us here.

      Shit of get off the pot. We’re not in a pace where we can afford to NOT choose sides anymore.

        Liberals thinking they were voting for ‘lesser evil’ got us here. This is 100% on the shoulders of shitlibs that cant tell the difference between red fascism and blue fascism.

          And what solution are you offering here? Not vote? Vote 3rd party? Vote for Trump?

          I’ve already voted for progressives in my local elections.

              God damn your takes are stupid. “zero impact”. To prove a universal quantification false only a single counterexample is required. That’s it. Nothing more is required and then poof you are an idiot. You sure you want to make that bet? You absolutely sure that voters have zero impact on policy or legislation? Cause, like, votes determine the passage of policy where I live.

              Counterexample:: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_in_Colorado

              Oh look. Votes determined the legality of cannabis. Was illegal before then votes then not. That’s a policy change BTW in case you are even more confused than the average stoner.

              Done! I’ve proved you wrong! Congrats! No further effort by anybody is required to prove you are stupid. Just one example was required. Nothing more.

              You still didn’t answer my question. What solution do you have? “Biden sux” is true, but just yelling it over and over is not gonna further any leftist ideology…

                Not supporting him or a capitalist owned party is my solution. That’s the oppressed supporting their oppressors

                They have no solution. Thats been the point of this the entire time. They shit on the discussion and walk away feeling smugly satisfied that their pseudo woke rhetoric made a difference to a bunch of people too busy scratching their heads and wondering what that dumbass was talking about.

                  It’s about voter suppression. They are trying to talk people out of voting for the least worst option and into throwing their vote away or convincing you it is not worth the bother to even vote.
                  The fact that they are trying so hard shows just how important your vote actually is.
