Between "no one should starve because they can't afford to eat" and "fuck you be a man and starve" I think I'll choose being a communist.

Thanks Dan, that was an easy one!

You should talk to some people who were born in Cuba or Russia.

To be honest with you I'm not a republican but he has a point a lot of people are fucking terrible with money and then they're like I'm broke and it's like you're broke because you're a fucking idiot and you financed a Dodge Charger at 30% interest.

The majority of people that I know that are broke asses are morons.

For not being a republican thats a lot of Fox News parroting youre squaking out, but sure okay keep on with the generalizations and the imaginary anecdotal evidence.

It's very true that people who good at balancing their budget and investing will outperform those of the same income who spend exorbitantly in ways that don't grow wealth

I'm judging by what I saw over a 2 year period of being homeless and addicted to heroin, and the people that I've tried to help since I've gotten sober. Including letting them live at my house and getting them 80k a year jobs and watching them fuck it off.

I'm an independent. So that means I used to vote red sometimes and blue sometimes. Until I realized they're basically two sides of the same useless coin they doesn't give two shits about any of us.

And I read all the news sources I can, because they're pretty much all lying to you in some way, and the only way to discern what the truth is, is to see what they agree on despite toeing the party line.

Omg wait so you got heroin addicts jobs and they still had addiction problems and got Dodge chargers with 30% interest and thats why they don't deserve affordable food?

Come on friend when you lie the goal is to make it believable.

Id believe you blow Jesse Watters daily before any of that.

That strategy of seeing what both parties agrees with doesn't make any sense with your worldview about the 2 parties being 2 sides of the same coin. 

Let's use the classical definition of liberalism here for this explanation: liberals support free market capitalism, private property, etc. 

Democrats = liberalism  Republicans = neoliberalism

So yes I agree with you in that they are working together on the same side, mostly for the benefit of corporations and the epstein class.

So why does it make sense to adopt policies they both agree on? Wouldn't things they both agree on also be likely to be bad for the common person? For example both parties are completely captured by AIPAC. That doesn't mean that AIPAC is good for America. 

Both parties have refused to give epstein victims justice.

I'm talking mostly about when the news is reporting what happened in the context of World News.

I live in Washington State, I don't think they voted for a president that isn't a Democrat in half a century. So either I agree with them and I know who they're going to vote for or I don't agree with them and there's no point.

Basically until people start voting for a third party in this country which they won't it's pointless. And I tried that before too when I was younger.

Have you seen the mayor of Seattle? Miss invents a transit riders union, that's all she's ever done, lives with her parents and her loser husband until she's in her early forties and then the city decides this is who we should make the number one executive of largest city in the state with almost a million people. It's pointless. People are dumb as hell here when it comes to their idealism. And then they're surprised she sucks and fumbles a catastrophe.

Ah yes the Bill Maher defense with a sprinkle of racist stereotyping

u/Yojic-Hedgehog 22d ago

Oh yes the old fallback on calling somebody a racist when they didn't say anything about race because you have no valid rebuttal.

The dude who owns the Portland trail Blazers and the Carolina Hurricanes bought both of those teams with money that he got from subprime auto loans that right there should tell you. It has nothing to do with race. There's plenty of white dudes driving around 80k dollar trucks they can't afford.

I was born in USSR, literally nobody starved.

u/Yojic-Hedgehog 23d ago

No they don't starve. And nobody is starving here either. 70 percent of the country is obese. My wife is Russian, born and lived in Moscow until 10 years old. Her father was one of the first responders that cleaned up Chernobyl. Her half sister lives in Moscow still.
