BOtH sIdEs
Both candidates are right wing so it's not really "BOtH sIdEs." People on the left would like some representation for once.
Not surprised you'd say that
What policies have the right and left regularly agreed upon? What bills put forth have unanimous votes?
I think your conflating Right and Left with Republican and Democrat.
They aren't the same thing.
Both parties have been pro-corporate oligopoly. The Republicans, just more so.
Both parties have been catering to the same class of big corporate donors. The Republicans, just more so.
Both parties have been pro-military-industrial-complex. The Republicans, just more so.
Both parties have been pro-Israli genocide. The Republicans, just more so.
Both parties have shown a little movement toward economic populism. The Democrats, just more so.
They might not vote together on many bills. Because it would look bad to their respective bases if they did.
But they've both been pushing in similar directions on a number of topics for decades.
Don't worry they will totally respond with facts here....
LMAO
Fighting universal healthcare. Refusing to revoke Citizens United. Refusing the Right to Repair.
The Patriot Act. The Iraq War. Enabling The Genocide of Palestine. The continuous decline into corporatocracy.
All bipartisan efforts.
You shitlibs genuinely do not understand the conversation happening in front of you. We know you don't, or you wouldn't be a shitlib, you'd be a social democrat at worst.
Using the term sHiTliB renders you exempt from discourse. It's like screaming that you're unreachable and a huge waste of time
👍
What an embarrassing response after your own "BOtH SiDEs" and "yeah they'll totally respond with facts" comments. You can't even address the numerous examples they listed?
Why carry on a meaningful conversation when you can latch onto a single word and use it as an excuse to dismiss everything else someone says?
It's way easier than having defensible positions.
They didn't say anything worth countering and they said it with a flurry of insults. People who cannot even speak without derisively labelling others without any understanding of anything but their own extreme positions can get bent. Not worth anyone's time.
You're expending a lot of effort trying to convince people that your interlocutor isn't worth the effort. The more effort you expend, the more it looks like you're interested in dismissing things for which you have no good answer than you are in saving effort.
Also, it's cute seeing you of all people whining about insults.
Right, writing two times it's not worth it is just as wasteful as getting drawn into a moronic back and forth for hours. Also wah, I insulted you at some point for being a fraud.
I don't argue with people who tell me it's hopeless to. I will say though, you're living up to the tag I gave you in the past.
Oo, what did you tag them in the past?
The mods here are really uptight so I won't say anything beyond: it wasn't flattering
Seems you had no issue arguing up until getting your bluff called a few comments ago even though you 'tagged me' long ago. Now you suddenly don't want to discuss facts and instead deflect to talking crap in typical blue MAGA fashion.
No one gives a shit about your baiting
Shitlibs lol… now you’re just being honest and making people mad
