      From an outside perspective, it’s the difference between someone looking at you with distaste, and someone aggressively attempting to sink a 9" knife into your gut, repeatedly, while standing in a pile of cut up baby corpses. Just because both sides have issues, doesn’t mean the 2 are comparable.

        If the scenario was what you detailed you would of course be right. But it seems more like:

        • Imperialism and pollution wrapped in the right-wing.
        • Imperialism and maybe just a little less pollution wrapped in the left-wing.

        I don’t care who fucks up their own country more. I care about who fucks me up more, which currently is basically the same for both sides.

          They’re both the same except one of them wants the entire LGBT community dead and one of them wants more renewable energy

          But yeah totally both the same

            But you don’t understand… They aren’t LGBT, so it doesn’t impact them and are clueless about how climate change affects them, so they don’t care.

          You realize 90% of that is because we have a two party system where the evil shits get to delay and hold up the few actually good Democrats, right? Democrats aren’t good but they at least understand the job of representation. Republicans only want to rule. They don’t care what policies they push, they just want to be in charge and on top.

          If you cannot understand how vile, evil rulers are worse than ignorant fools who don’t try hard enough… Then you are quite literally dumber than a US Democrat.

        Look, I can wholeheartedly belive Party A does good for it’s country, while Party B does bad. But somehow both do on my expense.

            I’m indeed not from the USA. I meant expense as in “loss for the sake of something gained”.
