    And we circle back around to “Democrats did a bad thing” instead of “a tiny number of Democrats went against the wishes of the party and joined all of the Republicans to do a bad thing”

    Propaganda.

    “The Democrats” did not vote for this bill and implying so is fucking. Propaganda.

      So, what is the party going to do about it? If the answer is nothing, then the party itself shares the blame. Republicans enforce party discipline while Democrats use a lack of party discipline as an excuse.

        Because the Republicans are fucking fascists and we are not. It’s more difficult to enforce discipline when your party is ANTI authoritarian.

          Neoliberalism is proto fascism. Fascism is where the Democrats have led us. They are not anti-authoritarian, they are just not as authoritarian as the fascists.

              That’s not even a proper use of that meme.

              If Americans don’t wake up to the fact that both of our parties have been leading us down a road that only leads to fascism, we will just keep sinking in the quicksand.

              Look at it like this. Democrats are AIDS and Republicans are pneumonia. AIDS will never be the thing that kills you, but it’s the thing that should have been addressed to avoid the pneumonia. Pneumonia will absolutely kill you, but only takes hold when there is already a broader issue.

              Democrats took away our ability to effectively fight fascism, and now fascism has come for us. We might beat fascism back for a time, but failing to address the broader issue means that time will be short.

                Fun fact: Republicans are currently slashing the budgets of AIDS prevention organizations, budgets that were largely put in place by Democrats.

                But hey, “both sidez” lol

                  It’s called an analogy. Actual AIDS policy is irrelevant to my point.

                  But hey, “both sidez” lol

                  Here is something “both sides” do, thought terminating cliches.
