    A liberal would feed 100 people on the off chance one needed food. A conservative would deny 100 people food on the off chance one didn’t deserve it.

      Liberals are clearly the lesser evil, but sadly both get into bed with lobbyists and capitalists that created the housing and food shortage in the first place. Liberals just want slightly less evil capitalism while conservatives want aggressively more evil capitalism.

      Maybe they’d give them a tax break after they filled out a dozen forms proving need.

      Libs hate universal programs and they hate direct aid. Hence why instead of free healthcare, we got obamacare. Instead of cash to help new parents buy the things they need, Kamala is promoting a tax break. Instead of free college, we got complicated loan forgiveness schemes that seem entirely random if it applies to you and how much.

      You are not voting for libs or cons though. You are voting for one of two corporations the difference of which in actions, not words, on key policies is miniscule. Of those one is openly criminal and another is not, so you’re voting for the latter. You want the boot up your ass to be legally solid.

      It’s a pretty feudal dynamic.

        How the fuck people like you can say shit like that after Trump’s three SCOTUS picks were responsible for striking down Roe v. Wade after 50 years, then went after Chevron and said that a president could commit crimes if they are official acts, I don’t know.

        I was going to post about how we should reform mental healthcare for the better.

        I had facts and figures, handy infographics; the whole 9 yards.

        After reading your comment, I don’t need to post anything at all. Everyone can see how dismal our mental healthcare is from those few sentences you typed up.

        Thank you!

        Man, one group is actively creating policy and legislation to deny people who I care about the right to exist. The other is doing the opposite.

        Get that eighth grade both sides horseshit outta here. Grow up.

          Liberals are clearly the lesser evil, but it is important to remember that liberals are still right wing corporate shills that have to be dragged kicking and screaming to do anything for the working class.

          The other is arming Israel. I got that you don’t care about people they kill.

          You should give that intersectionism thing a try.

            1. That’s a non-sequiter to what they said
            2. Both the GOP and the Democrats have stated they will continue to support and arm Israel. Trump has said that numerous times. About the only one pushing back is Bernie Sanders.

              This is non sequitUr to what I said.

              I also didn’t say GOP doesn’t.

              Education is really the weakest part of your (USA) society.

            Just because I didn’t mention a topic doesn’t give you a blank check to assume I have the worst opinion you can imagine. That’s for people who still go on twitter and fourteen year olds. Fuck off.
