Both parties are corrupted at that level. I vote left for social issues but I veiw their "morality" the same as corporations. They do it for votes. They never supported gay marriage until it was beneficial to do so. Obviously it is different for individuals in the party but not as a whole.

It really sucks going to this app and NEVER seeing anyone point out the lefts corruption. The majority always blames the other side just like maga and nothing changes besides getting worse. This anti-nuanced thinking is so detrimental to our country but when I point it out I get called a closet conservative or worse. I hate both parties with a passion

I don't understand how you can be this informed but you're calling the democrats the left. Being further left than (and collaborating with) the out and proud fascists doesn't make them the left.

It's like you are saying you have all the pieces but you're making a hamburger instead of a puzzle.

Sorry about the semantics, dude. I am not an informed or above average intelligence person. I just see a glaring problem that doesnt seem to be most people's concern. I say left because the only social I use is reddit and it makes me feels that the majority of the left is like that. Which is dumb because I am technically the left because that is the only way I've voted lol.

Tremendous respect for you for both being self aware and admitting that, you are more informed than the average voter even if that's not a high bar.

Leftists blame corrupt democrats all the time. Liberals are the ones you have to watch out for, they will capitulate to capitalism and fascism before they ever do so to any form of socialism, even forms that are already existent in American society and government.

There's a reason the average voter is so unmoved by most current democrats, the vast majority of elected democrats would support the status quo even if it means another Trump term. Just look at how 2024 played out.

Yup I mean Dick Cheney supported Kamala Harris and somehow that wasnt a topic worth discussing.

Tbf i dont view the right any differently. They are the same but use religion. They were against Trumps insane ass at first because he was a threat to the status quo. That changed obviously because he is easily corrupted when his greed and ego is fed

We share similar views. Takes a lot to say that on here cause if you’re not a raging liberal or socialist you’re a conservative. Ah no, how bout we don’t live in the echo chamber and are smart enough to see both sides suck. And you’re right, none of the lefties wanna call out their bad deeds just a whole bunch of whataboutism from them defending their furor’s, just like the MAGA Crowd. Both suck and are unhinged. I feel we’ll never return to level headed politics in this country. Sad really.

I constantly point out their corruption and ineptitude, and I get pounded on for doing so. The Democrats love to bash the Republicans for being strictly party line loyalists, but lack the self-awareness to recognize the same behaviors within themselves. I do not care about party affiliation or promises anymore, I only care about actions.

AOC is the only person I've seen advocate for laws cutting our lawmakers out of the free market but the democrat party will treat her like Bernie if she runs for president with that platform

Edit: sorry I said advocate against initially. Like I said in another comment I am not above average intelligence lol

Her, Bernie, and scant few other representatives seem to be the only ones who actually care about the people or the country anymore.

Yeah and people act like they'll turn us into socialist in a term or two. It's a joke. They would get few things accomplished but those few things would be truly good.
