You're ignoring how much worse it can get, especially for people of color, people who are lgbtq, and yes, people who are making minimum wage and/or getting assistance today.

It does matter.

I don't think that's accurate.

I'm not the one gaslighting myself about Democratic governance or pretending that they actually did the things that they promised, and neither are the people who need better pay instead of memes.

Did I reference a meme? Or am I specifically referencing the hate being thrown at trans folks, women dying because of idiotic laws, attempts to remove medical coverage for those who could barely get something as is?

I think its entirely accurate, and I absolutely will stand by that. Don't try to blow smoke up my ass about both sides being the same, its absolute bullshit and I'm not interested.

I don't think that's accurate.

Then you have not been paying attention

[–] FlashMobOfOne@beehaw.org 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well, thank you for your perspective.

Have a nice weekend.

Well let's see, in the past presidency, Democrats have failed to do much of anything good, and Republicans have succeeded in causing significant harm.

Clearly these two are the same, right? You fucking clown

[–] FlashMobOfOne@beehaw.org 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Totally.

I was very impressed by Democrats' reaction when the Roe repeal was leaked.

They used it to raise money.

That alone is indicative of the fact that they're unsuited to govern.

Yes, Democrats are shitty, and unsuited to govern. Do you prefer the more aggressively shitty party, who are less suited to governing, and actively initiated the thing you are complaining about, rather than passively allowing it?

If you want to talk molotovs and revolution, I'm all ears, but if your idea of resistance is allowing the worse people to win, again, clown.
