The left is far and away the worst. The right says "pay for yourself" and the left flips its shit. The right says "follow the law" and the left flips its shit. It's disgusting how you think misrepresenting the right means anything at all. Of course the center agrees with us. Yall are batshit insane anywhere outside your own mind.

Like, if you wanna rage about sending tax dollars to foreign countries, at least be consistent about it and understand that the Republican position is not anti-foreign aid, it’s anti-humanitarianism. If the party slashes food aid to starving people while increasing the amount of bombs sent to its genocidal allies, then it’s not about keeping the money in-house, it’s about doing harm for the sake of it.

I don’t believe anyone but us citizens should receive benefits from our tax dollars. I don’t agree with sending bombs to Ukraine, I sure as hell don’t agree with anything regarding Israel. No gen z/ average republican wants our money and resources going anywhere but here. It’s not our place or responsibility to fix fucked up countries that can’t run themselves

Right wingers also love to talk about starving Americans when we talk about foreign aid, and how “we shouldn’t be helping other people when OUR people are in dire straits” as if they don’t also hold the position that helping people in our own country is also wrong. Like, every point you guys make in a vacuum could possibly be a respectable position, but taken holistically, the Republican Party is fucking garbage.

Damn, predicted perfectly that the response would be “we should help our own people” from the party that’s expressly against any government program that helps our own people. We saw as much during the SNAP fiasco, we know that from y’all’s healthcare positions, none of you give a shit about helping anyone at home either. Which begs the question, what exactly do y’all even think tax dollars ARE for?

Republicans aren’t against assistance, they’re against abuse of that assistance. Which happens quite frequently. Have you seen the video of that kid in the hood saying he’s just gonna have 6 kids and let the government take care of him? That is the mindset present in many people collecting these benefits. They have no incentive to stop collecting them so why would they? Even if they are able to work.

I mean maybe if your guys lied a little less often that wouldn’t have to be the state of things. Like, if you don’t claim that a group of immigrants with legal residence are here illegally, then the news lady isn’t gonna have to tell you “hey man they’re actually not illegals” and then you guys don’t have to throw a tantrum that I can forever use as an example of y’all being anti-fact.

Also, if you’re gonna tell a lie that’s a really tough sell, like “hey man that scary foreigner wants to eat your pets” which was the lie they were fact-checking when Vance said that, don’t wrap the big lie in smaller less egregious lies (i.e. that the Haitian community in Springfield is largely illegal) because those little lies are easier to actually disprove, whereas “that guy wants to eat your dog” is pretty hard for me to actually disprove, so you can cling to it for longer.

I’ll fight to the death on the fact that people aren’t stagnant, that people can change, and that civil discussion without rage baiting is the only way to realize any change in society. I do get more frustrated with y’all tho because I expect people on the left to not think that you can measure someone’s worth through their perspective when environment plays such a huge role in establishing said perspective.

Its not that you need to respect their opinion, especially when that opinion is damaging to others and society, I just think you should respect them, because they didn’t develop that opinion in a vacuum, and if you don’t respect them, they use that hate to reinforce the wrong perspective

Like my understanding is that (at least historically) centrists tend to be people that cross the aisle on different issues. Not blindly supporting one party or another, but at the same time not accepting ideas they disagree with. Now in the past 15 years or so the Overton window has shifted so far right that people who happened to be more centrist 10 years ago are labeled as liberals and centrists of today are just conservatives of 10 years ago, which is why it seems like the center favors…

… the right. Which to be fair, this is exactly what the system wants. In the past 10 years we’ve dropped nearly 30 competitive districts. If the Supreme Court overturns the VRA, that number could go to like 40, with only like 10 competitive districts in the entire country out of all 435 districts. An independent voting base is fundamentally the last voting bloc of people that actually (collectively) value political reason over partisan biases. Which is a danger to both establishments
