Roses are red

Violets are blue

Oversimplified political apathy

Being against all genocide isn’t oversimplifying anything

here's an example for you to drive home why sentiment like this is dumb and creates false equivalencies. when I was 14, I worked at a grocery store. there were two managers that I would get scheduled with. they both sucked and were awful human beings. however, one was a known child predator. which one do you think I'd rather get scheduled with?

I, John Brown, am now quite certain, that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away, but with blood.

He did know that already in 1859

That's what happens when lobbies can just buy your politicians

Americans think their favorite political sports team cares about them like the stripper actually loved them. No, you just gave them what they wanted and as soon as you're out of sight, they'll forget you and keep doing their job.

For strippers it's doing a workout for a living and being proud of their bodies. For politicians it's gaslighting the public into thinking they're the good guys as they socially murder at home and sweep up blood abroad.

Honestly, I read this thread and can't comprehend how a civilization as advanced as the United States of America thinks that defending a binary choice of democracy is a good thing to do... It's impossible to represent a country with a few million people like that, imagine ~300M. Anyway, keep going at each other's throats for your party color... smh.

It's not an advanced civilization, they have slavery enshrined in constitution.

Neither party will ever willingly give up the two party system, as they both benefit from it. At some point Americans need to start backing third parties or everything will just continue to go in circles indefinitely.
