    Is it “both sides are the same” Saturday already?! Boy how time flies when the right is in full control again, destroying everything again, after the left rebuilt it the best they could in their limited time in control again… but it’s the same coin so you should just stay home and not vote, right op?!

      What?

      More like we’re too busy fighting each other to realize who is largely perpetuating these fights and who directly benefits from a distracted populace.

      I’m legitimately surprised I had to spell this out.

        Are you confusing liberals with left wingers?

        The left have been very loudly pushing back against the billionaire class for a very long time

          Yeah, the actual left’s whole deal is fighting billionaires.

          I really need everyone to stop conflating liberals with the left, and also learn some basic political theory before speaking on it.

          As they should, but you can’t deny the infighting between other factions. The point remains: we have to take a step back, and focus on the real problems, rather than the bait they throw in front of us.

            I wouldn’t be much of a left winger if I did deny that

            Turning the working class against each other is one of the main ways the elite protect their power

            People on the left have been writing about this for over a century

      It depends on your side:

      if you vote for the right, then you are likely to win with both sides, so you don’t really need to vote.

      if you are for the left, you absolutely need to vote for the left AND to do not let them in peace once elected, because without being pushed and forced to do a left politic, they are likely to do a right one.

      I think what OP is trying to say is it’s not left vs right, it’s poor vs rich. That the billionaires use issues of policy as a distraction from the inequality and wealth gap between us and them.

    Both sides bad! Billionaires fund both sides to the same degree. Minorities just need to roll over and give up rights

    Any party not promising to implement direct real time democracy is just a schill in the end. Any party elected for x years can and will do whatever is in their best interest and not the peoples.

    What’s fun is this is actually like a Broligarchy plan to get rid of political parties.

    First they, “The Grays” help The Reds get rid of The Blues. Then they get rid of the Reds. Yarvin and Theil are all about it.

    Cool, where’s the next frame where the grey monkey does start swinging at their captors and the brown monkey stabs him in the back because the captors promised a banana?
