Never give in to the despair they want you to have. Fight against regression, and fight for progress. If they want to take our rights, make it a fight at every level (lemmy.ml)

"maintain the fire burning down your house and sometimes stoke it" and "throw gasoline on it" 😮‍💨

Fucking. Bullshit.

Get the fuck out of here with "both sides" cold takes.

YOU get the fuck out of here with your "criticizing one side while making clear that the other is much worse is the same thing as saying that both sides are the same" bullshit.

Just because Republicans are much worse doesn't mean that Democrats are exempt from criticism when they're not doing their job of faithfully representing the interests of the people. ESPECIALLY when it leads to Republicans winning elections.

Your criticism of democrats is either dumb or/and disingenuous.

they're not doing their job of faithfully representing the interests of the people.

Straight up misinformation. In addition to fixing the economy, Biden administration forgave $175 billions in student loans, lowered unemployment, passed PACT act, CHIPS act, infrastructure bill, expanded healthcare, appointed Lina Khan on FTC, someone who's going as hard as she can against corporates. FTC banned non-compete clauses under her leadership.

There are multiple different reports about Biden administration's work, if you care to look.

Of course the administration had to navigate through the real world challenges and they couldn't manage to wave a wand and turn USA into utopia.

But to ignore the work they've done and say

"they maintain the fire burning down your house and sometimes stoke it"

is abso-fucking-lutely stupid.

You're as misinformed as Fox News viewer.

And now we have example of Brandolini's law, "The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it."

Took you less than a minutes to be callously ignorant and it took me 15 minutes to refute it, not for you but for others who might click this thread.

Get informed or get fucked.
