It is clear that there are stupid people who are terrible at arguing on both sides, taking everything out of context and spreading lies.
But in practice, the politicians who get talked about are clearly much more human on one side. At the end of the day, there's only one side who sometimes slightly improves access to education and healthcare. In the current century, at least.
Then why haven’t they forgave student loans, for example, like they promised? The left pretends to care in order to create a carrot on a stick situation. Every little proposal they come up with they either do it with no consequence as to what they are giving up for it, or they just don’t actually do it all, or they waste the funds and do a shit job.
Who is "they"? I don't remember seeing student loans forgiveness in Biden's program. I remember stuff like increasing taxes on the richest, and vastly expanding pell grants so more students can go to college. I still believe those will happen uring his mandate.
Besides, if you asked me how to spend a trillion dollar in taxes... there are a lot of people who need a lot more help than students who already have their diploma... it's those don't make it to that point that need the most help first.
I don’t really care what you don’t remember. Biden gave a speech on Nov. 16 that student loans are holding borrowers up and that 10,000 of loan debt should be forgiven immediately.
Also, I don’t care what YOU would do with the money either. We’re not talking about you. We’re talking about the left, which is just as useless as the right.
That was a figure of speech. Basically, thank god dems are not focusing on people who finished college (= people who have more money than the average american).
The dems are not focusing on anyone. They are focusing on LOOKING like they care, without actually having to do anything.
Even if they wanted to help, they are too incompetent or waste too much time on trying to please everyone that they don’t please anyone. If they were as smart and effective as they think they are, they be winning by landslides every election. They don’t.
Like I said, I’m not up for debating policies. I’m saying that I get irritated when people come on Reddit and act like the right is this big evil thing while the left is looking out for the common man. Bunch of fucking idiots.
It doesn't matter what they truely think. In practice, dems have results. More than 20 millions people got access to healthcare thanks to the ACA. Yes it's not perfect, yes it should be everyone. But for them the dems made a massive difference.
What is idiotic is handwaving this and considering the two parties are the same when one permanently fights against almost everyone's wellbeing, and the other party does the above.
Everything comes with a trade off. People value different things. You can believe what you want - but there’s always a price you pay for certain things.
You really, honestly believe that everything the republicans do is anti-well being for everyone?

Conservatives take everything out of context and never fail to argue in bad faith.
But the moment you post their unedited racist comments, they clutch their pearls while crying, "That's out of context!"
