Don't remember the last time the Democrats had military storming our streets and black bagging US residents en masse and deporting them to war zones like South Sudan or Libya despite those people having zero ties to those countries.

This reeks of fucking shitpost right-wing propaganda.

Edit: here come all the "but the US/CIA did all this fucked up stuff to other countries under Dems, too!"

JFC, the current "president" who is GOP literally yells about wanting to deport/arrest political opponents, censor TV personalities (e.g. Colbert, Fallon, etc), openly calls to suppress political opposition in voting, openly supports ignoring the courts when they interfere with his blatantly unconstitutional actions, etc etc .

Yes, the Dems aren't fucking innocent, but to pretend they're the same as a party that's openly trying to "take back the Nazi word" is fucking insane.

Damn I wonder why Libya is like that!

You absolute ghouls literally don't see foreigners as human

I dont think there is a lib alive who remembers the dems role in the destruction of Libya other than those directly involved in it.

And that stuff about abortion shouldn't even be there after they didn't do anything for it.

Really the only thing that needs to be put in the "Democrats only" section is: Lip Service. It sums up every issue they are supposedly "better" on.

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 29 points 1 week ago

Last election the uncomitted wanted basically only lip servce but didn't get even that.

Fact based education standards.

Teaching a bunch of lies about American exceptionalism and how imperialism is actually good isn’t what I’d call “fact based”

Stop racism in policing

Right like how democrats in nearly all major cities increased police funding and almost none passed any meaningful reform.

Expanded healthcare subsidies

But don’t remotely consider universal healthcare

Preserve democracy

Preserve the status quo which I wouldn’t call a democracy. A democracy enacts the will of the people, democrats don’t even have a democratic primary for their own party.

I think you dropped this:

Democrats & Republicans

  • Bombed kids
  • Tortured innocent people
  • Increased the surveillance state
  • Took money from the poor and working class, and gave it to their rich friends
  • Spent billions on wars, while claiming that they couldn't afford to fix our healthcare or housing problems
  • Boasted about deporting more people than Republicans
  • Backed a Genocide

The fact that there are so many dislikes proves how propagandized the average American is. "How dare you call both sides the same" Well, they ojectively are pretty much the same with few exceptions.

Especially for non-Usian people, doubly especially for those on the working end of US "diplomacy" - bombs, coups and sanctions come regardless of which US administration, there is literally no difference whatsoever.
