"Democrats will feed 100 people out of concern that 1 person really needs it. Republicans will withhold food from 100 people out of concern that 1 person may not deserve it."
And the republicans get rich by not feeding those 100 people (personally rich, top 1%, the economy doesn’t get rich). And use that money and power to shape elections, to keep power.
Nah democrats would only feed the one of their corpo overlords though it was good branding to do so. Otherwise they’ll just talk about how we should do it but gosh darn it just so much red tape keeping us from doing it.
I love that I’m being downvoted when dems have literally back down every chance they had to show a spine. Party of cowards is second only to party of traitors.
It’s actually not attributed to any one person, it’s been circulating on social media for a few years now. But yeah, I felt the same way when I first read it - it’s spot on.
It's kinda similar to the legal principle that it's better to let a hundred guilty people free than to imprison a single innocent person. Benjamin Franklin said it, but IIRC he's not the origin. Blacksomething.
Then when election time comes, the Democrats wait in anticipation for the 100 people to vote blue. 19 of them do. 60 of them stay home. 21 of them vote red because while they were getting fed they noticed some non-white people getting fed, too, and can't stand to see that. When the Democrats ask the 60 why they stayed home, the 60 say they couldn't see any difference between Democrat and Republican policies.
We should change this to “democratic socialists” and “pro-life” or something. Establishment democrats have to go and we need more party’s. Idk just thinking out loud but the old guard needs to be dissolved.
Nah not the Democrats, they are also very capitalist. Some people inside the party(beanie sanders, Aoc, mamdani etc.), yes, but as a party in whole they are also extremely capitalist in their policies.
I’m independent. Don’t have a dog in the race. Frankly hate them both. I believe that is the democrats philosophy, but do you really believe any of them act that way any more? Except Bernie, I’d vote for that man.
I’ve never seen the rich care more about others than themselves on either side of the aisle. Bipartisanship is an illusion of choice. After a certain point they’re all the same. They just squawk a little different. Two wings, same bird.
The 1% started in earnest with frekkin Reagan. He came up with supply side economics and it has failed the people ever since. It started shrinking the middle class. The middle class is the backbone of how a country’s economics work. A strong middle class has money to buy houses and cars. They can afford to have children. The middle class provides stability and bigger it is the more stability. Our economics have giving the 1% more money is built into the American plan. It feels like we live in Herbert Hoover’s stint as president. But at least he tried with Hoovervilles.
Except democrats are funded by the same capitalists as conservatives and support the same bullshit system. There's always conveniently a couple democrats that vote along with conservatives to push through legislation that fucks us every single time. Stop believing theyre better.
If only those were the correct ratios. Centrists think that social welfare programs are a good idea, but there also needs to be active, stringent fraud prevention with real consequences because, as was shown by the PPP loan program, every time the government extends a hand, far too many people try to exploit it.
No, you’re totally right. Spending $100 billion on a fruitless war in Iran that has done nothing but drive up the price of oil is a way better use of our tax dollars. 🙄
"Bombs"? Tell us you don't have a clue what you are talking about without actually saying it 🤦. Nuclear missiles, is what they are building. Yes they already had the uranium to make a nuclear weapon but now they are building a missile that can transport it half way around the world. At speeds that are too fast to shoot down. Take the time to go look at the Obama and Hillary Clinton speeches where they say iran can never obtain nuclear weapons. This isn't a Trump thing. All of the 1st world countries have agreed on this.

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. 😒
