a bit on the nose isn't it?
That's pretty much how easy and obvious the choice is
What's it say about our country that we have so many that want to vote republican?
That media has gone unchecked for many decades. They shouldn't be able to spew lies and ignore key facts to create a false narrative like republicans have been doing for 50+ years.
Shit should've been regulated long ago so as to not have the current situation we're in where a portion of the population has become brainwashed.
Also that public education is in the toilet. And has been for decades.
how great was "no child left behind"? 🤦♂️
Long ago, shit was regulated. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fairness_doctrine&diffonly=true
nothing that isn't already well known
Whats it say about our country that so-called-progressives won’t vote Democratic.
Again and again you care more about progressives who want something better while still voting dem then the Republicans lol.
Studies have shown that dem positions are overwhelmingly popular when they're not labeled as specifically dem. The problem is laws that allow media to blatantly lie to people who are desperate, stupid, or both.
What
He's saying you give more attention to progressives who won't kowtow to democrats in their speech, when they vote for democrats with their votes. The real issue is a system that let's a R win when they don't get the majority of votes (that last part is my addition)
The only thing I’m asking for is voting for Dems - specifically to stop trump and his evil horde of idiot rapists.
Speechify however one likes, I’m more than likely in agreement - but there is a significant number of commenters specifically positioning themselves as “left” or “progressive” who very specifically refused to vote Democratic despite necessarily punching themselves in the crotch out of ignorance.
If someone’s onboard with voting to defeat MAGA but wants to rag on the Dems or the administration for less-than-whatever, bring it. I 100% support that.
It is my duty to talk shit about the party I vote for.
That’s all I’m askin for
"evil horde of idiot rapists" so well put.
Exactly
Some people need help getting it
