“When someone says both sides, its obvious they have not been watching the actions of the political parties. Lets look how they vote.” - /u/armored_cat
Really annoys me when I read apathetic people saying that Dems and Reps are the same. Yes, there’s a lot of crony corpos in the Dems side but they are in no way even close to the same. There’s a lot of stuff the Dems have done that I’m not a fan of, but are still not even close to being the same as Reps.
This is a great comment that outlines the stark differences on voting records that I archived so it wasn’t lost.
They are not the same, make sure you vote to keep the fascists out. Also vote in the primaries so we can get more progressive/populist representatives as candidates. Voting is not the only answer to salvage the future but it’s definitely a part of the answer.
Wait until you realize that both sides is true, but not because there isn’t a difference between them. Both parties do suck. One just sucks worse, and so long as we accept the two party system, that’s the way it’ll be. We’re stuck picking the lesser evil
The way I put it, I don’t like either, but one doesn’t want my friends dead, so I’ll begrudgingly vote for them.
I desperately want to vote for someone who genuinely supports the workers. There’s plenty of demand for American manufacturing, no one wants to take the jobs because they’ve historically been low paying, grueling, unfulfilling, and dangerous and our culture has repeatedly beat it into people’s heads that they are failures if they work in a factory instead of an office (and those in the office deserve protection and support of the government too) I’m not very far left but a government that doesn’t support labor doesn’t support itself.
Yeah, almost every issue with jobs in the US could be fixed with more pay. “Nobody wants to work anymore” my ass. Paying more would solve literally almost every single problem.
If they want domestic manufacturing, pay people more.
It’s either that or revolution, and the vast majority of people are disinclined to start a war over politicians being politicians.
