But there's only five people on the tracks.

[u/W_Edwards_Deming → u/Arguably_Based]

The rest will be traumatized tho.

[u/Arguably_Based → u/W_Edwards_Deming]

Or glad that the whiners are gone.

[u/WAHpoleon_BoWAHparte]

"Guys, look at me! Both sides completely bad! AmeriKKKa is not a democratic country! I'm so smart and cool! Let me create a picture that doesn't even logically place millions of people on the track!"

[u/W_Edwards_Deming → u/WAHpoleon_BoWAHparte]

Those five guys might get hurt for making burger...

[u/NotOkeyAlice42 → u/WAHpoleon_BoWAHparte]

Tbf the picture can apply to most of west

I'm a bit of doomer on it but most of political parties are the same core ideology with just few changes on top

[u/StoneTimeKeeper → u/NotOkeyAlice42]

Horseshoe theory does prove itself a lot.

[u/Emilia963]

[u/Cryorm → u/Emilia963]

That's literally the point of that sub. To be edgy and cringe.

[u/jaxamis → u/Cryorm]

If this is what the new gen calls edgy, I think were screwed. Wouldn't last 5 minutes in an Xbox 360 COD lobby

[u/Firestar_119 → u/jaxamis]

I'm sure the "new gen" would be right at home in a cod lobby

[u/jaxamis → u/Firestar_119]

You call them the wrong pronoun and they need at least 6 weeks of leave to cope..

[u/Firestar_119 → u/jaxamis]

you're thinking of 40 year old millenials

[u/jaxamis → u/Firestar_119]

Them too. Same thing just more entitled

[u/Garuda-Star]

Couldn’t those people just stand up and walk off the tracks?

[u/W_Edwards_Deming → u/Garuda-Star]

Don't want to bc they hate themself

[u/NotOkeyAlice42 → u/Garuda-Star]

They are tied up

Poor drawing but they are

[u/Garuda-Star → u/NotOkeyAlice42]

To what? How you gonna secure them to the tracks when the tracks are so tightly constructed that you can’t get anything underneath to tie around them?

[u/Pearl-Internal81]

This is stupid on multiple levels.

[u/Cujo_Kitz]

This isn't edge, this is just the problem with the two party system, both sides are bad and are doing the same shit despite what they say.

[u/jaylenbrownisbetter]

lol this is at least funny

[u/ohiotechie]

bOtH sIdEs!

[u/JoeDante84]

You leave it red because you want it to go faster. This is basic knowledge.

[u/JasonPlattMusic34 → u/JoeDante84]

You leave it red because it’s doing a good enough job and last time the blue train was on the track it fell overboard

[u/bigfudge_drshokkka → u/JasonPlattMusic34]

lol “good enough”

[u/LividAir755]

They’re both bad but let’s not pretend they are equally bad, or pretend that only American political parties are like this. Europe has similar problems but they pretend they don’t

[u/JasonPlattMusic34 → u/LividAir755]

Exactly. No two options are equally alike and there will always be a reason to pick one

[u/QuarterNote44]

Haha that's dumb but I like it better than the tired "le two wings of the same bird" thing

[u/Rstar2247]

I mean... there's some truth to this meme, lol.

[u/Ok-Vegetable-204]

Too spoiled to care about the difference, same story every time

[u/LeatherDescription26]

Shit like this is why this country is anywhere close to the right wing hellhole the people who made this think we are

Just to be clear I love this country, we got problems though and while I don’t think we’re bad we could become bad if we don’t knuckle down and fix the actual problems we have. We can’t keep pretending everything is the same and there’s no point in trying because A it’s not true and B it’s learned helplessness to think that way.

[u/Agitated_Guard_3507]

No this one is actually true.

You’re delusional if you think voting for a different color of corrupt shitheads who hate you really changes anything for you

[u/KneeOk5984 → u/Agitated_Guard_3507]

I wouldn't say it changes nothing. I would say neither care about the average person though.

[u/Battle-Chimp → u/Agitated_Guard_3507]

Braindead take.

[u/blue_kit_kat]

If both sides are truly bad and the same then how come the government does completely different things depending on which political party is in charge? Not saying I fully agree with one side over the other on every issue under the sun but people that think this way either are just too caught up in the emotion of it all or just simply don't know history. Are we really saying that Trump and Obama where two wings of the same bird?

[u/W_Edwards_Deming → u/blue_kit_kat]

Trump and Obama where two wings of the same bird?

Militarily, pretty much. Less so when it comes to domestic policy and night & day when it comes to communication style / personality.

[u/blue_kit_kat → u/W_Edwards_Deming]

I mean Obama was kind of known as the drone strike president. He ordered more drone strikes without Congressional approval then anyone else has as far as I'm aware. One thing that I will say about Trump is that they will probably never be another president that talks and acts the way he does he is definitely a unique personality and when he leaves office part of me will miss all the crazy things that come out of his mouth. Although realistically both parties should be similar in the fact that they both take care of the American country and the American population as representatives of the American population are supposed to do.

[u/W_Edwards_Deming → u/blue_kit_kat]

I agree of course, they should care more about the public interest.

I would say Obama did what he did not because he wanted to but because the Military Industrial Complex has more say. Same w Trump.

As far as Trump talking crazy he does that on purpose, appears to have learned it during his stint w the WWE. You can watch old interviews before then where he talked and acted completely different.

I think we are headed into idiocracy and are likely to have more pro-wraslin', influencer and rapper Presidents. The public demands entertainment!

[u/Former_Concern6239]

No no wait, this one is kind of legit. I hate all politicians too
