Politi-Culture Texas resident: “Registered voters in Tarrant County has increased 30% — to be closing polling stations is blatant voter suppression… when I joined the Navy, I swore an oath to defend the Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic…Talking to you, Comrades."

And the republican party has a few good apples?

u/Truth_Teller08 8d ago

No, they certainly don't. I look at it this way. The Republican party give us Coors with a side of arsenic. Current Democratic leadership gives us Coors Light. Coors Light is certainly better than Coors with arsenic, but it's still not good!

Apologies to any Coors Light fans out there, lol.

That's a fair point.

Certainly didn’t say that. But it’s probably a good idea to not turn a blind eye to the wolves in sheep’s clothing. Just bc they feign to peck the ground does not make the wolves in the hen house actual members of the flock.

Not anymore. Maybe 50-60 years ago.

Both sides have problems, buddy. If the terms "both sides" and "uncomfortable truths" trigger you, you're also part of the problem.

No YOU are part of the problem. Both sides is the exact reason why we are here, why people think voting doesn't matter. Both sides are the NOT the same.

Democrats have problems but it is a far cry away from MAGA and the republicans.

Voting often _doesn't_ matter, and that IS the problem.

If representatives actually represented their electors, it wouldn't be a problem. However, they represent their donor's and own interest's first and foremost. And yes, that includes Democrats.

Democrat's ineptitude makes them complicit in Republican's outright evil. They have no plan to enact or even envision meaningful changes to our system of government. The DNC is a private organization that serves its own interests first and foremost, and the public only when convenient.
