This isn’t even false equivalency, it’s just blatantly false.
I only see this argument made by conservatives. It is a deliberate attempt to drive a racist and LGBT-phobic wedge between the white working class and the Democratic Party. I have never seen a progressive person demand less support for the rights of minorities.
I also favor raising the minimum wage, making universities free to attend, and having universal healthcare - but LGBT rights aren’t the reason we don’t have those things. The GOP is the reason we don’t have those things, and it’s not like if the Dems said “Fuck it, arrest and kill the gays” that the GOP would suddenly support workers’ rights.
If you want to help the poor, vote out the party that says shit like this.
Conservatives, and useful idiots.
The only people I see claiming both sides are the same are people who have interest in either democrats failing as a party, or the whole country failing and collapsing in general.
Mhm of course! Third year into the Democrat administration and wealth inequality in the US keep reaching new staggering heights.
Hmmm ... and which party is running the House of Representatives that had the record for getting less done than any other in the history of the country?
You keep telling yourselves; it's the other teams fault! All the while the situation is only geting worse and worse for the working class
That's exactly what you've done in the first place. A lot of these issues you all do this over are not even short term issues but long term ones that no single administration has that much control over. Stop with the BS hyperbole and actually think for your damn self. We are living in a pseudo democracy masking a plutocracy. You're too busy playing their game so we won't unite. They keep getting richer while the rest of us suffer and fight over stupid shit.
I'm just a European onlooker, I have no stake in this, just asking myself what in the hell you americans are doing do your country!
Why is it always "just a European" here for the lawls.
No, you're just a troll, or maybe a bot.
Live in your bubble i don't care
Thanks Reagan
And all the wealth inequality that happened during Trump?
Crickets from this guy
Wealth inequality started with trump? News to me!
So you're saying it started with Biden?
No.
It doesn't matter what fucking team you hold on how do you not see that! Neither side are working for the little man in an oligarchy!
