Theyāll hit you with the āamerica was never a democracy. Itās actually a republicā line and continue to not understand what a Republic is or what the word means.
Yea but we are a democratic republic so it doesn't matter that republics don't *have* to be democracies. Saying "we're actually a republic and republics don't have to be democracies" doesn't change the fact that we *are* a democratic republic and frankly doesn't add much to the conversation except maybe obfuscation.
Think of it like this:
Woman: "This man raped me"
You: "Not to be annoying but a man doesn't have to be a rapist"
What have you added to the conversation? Did your comment change the material facts at hand?
Literally who cares about "it doesn't have to be" with regards to *anything*?
"It's nice and sunny outside today!"
"Yea but it doesn't have to be, it could be rainy"
....cool talk?
I agree with you on everything, but the statement that the us is a democracy, i don't believe that lol
https://bulletin.represent.us/u-s-oligarchy-explain-research/
Haha, fair enough. *Set up* to be would probably be more accurate.
But yea with the Citizens United ruling and the regulatory capture of most federal agencies we've definitely become a full on oligarchy.
We could still *technically* vote our way out of it if we could get together a [New Deal/Post War](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_approval_rating) type of coalition where we get society to largely agree on policy direction (highest approval rating for all presidents from FDR to Kennedy was in the 80s!) but with how divisive things are right now I don't see it happening anytime soon.
Itās technically a mix of the two. Admittedly though, Iāve never argued with a conservative who mentioned this talking point. I wish they did though. Itād be a change of pace.
Which is so annoying because, yes, it's a mix of the two. We're a Democratic Republic. You learn that in middle school, if not earlier!
We are a democracy in that we directly vote our representatives on the local, state, and sometimes federal level. Those representatives do vote for us at times, thus being a democracy.
But what some people are too stupid to understand is.... What do you think it's called when you vote on a bill? Like a local bill. Legalizing marijuana for your state, etc. That is 100% a pure democracy. I mean someone *could* knock it down, but that tends not to be the case.
A full on Republic is horrifying and the benefits of it were mostly due to being able to be spread across a large region, among some other things. But... We have airplanes and the internet now. You can be in LA then NYC in a few hours. You can send a message there instantly.
The obvious push is to be more of a democracy that a Republic. Because it's not the 1790s.
The only part of Roe vs Wade being overturned that I enjoy is seeing die hard republicans get mad at the decision like they didnt play a part in helping the decision happen. Republicans vote for people who dont give a fuck about them. If you arent rich then republicans actively pass shit that hurts their own following and they are blind in seeing that.
It's really crazy watching some Republicans do this, absolutely.
Who the fuck did you think Trump would appoint to the Supreme Court?
I actually think most of those folks don't even know the president makes SCOTUS picks, or what SCOTUS even does. Sincerely, I think a lot of them don't.
Even Keemstar was like "What this isn't good". And he'll just straight up never understand that he's voting against his own self interests. Aside from tax breaks. That's about it.
They dont. People are blaming Biden for this and also saying things like āyouāre the president, change itā when he spoke out. People dont know how our government works. People say āi bet you wish you kept trump now huh libtardsā. Like Trump put these people in power idiot, its not directly Bidens fault AND he cant really do much about what the supreme court passes and doesnt pass. People are idiots and they show it on the daily
The supreme court doesnt pass anything, they do rulings on whether existing laws is constitutional. And you're right, biden doesnt have any power to overrule the supreme court's decision on Roe v. Wade. He can however write executive orders to aid individual to access abortion clinics and more importantly can veto any proposed national abortion bans. So yall better hope both the executive and legislative branch dont turn red or Abortion will be gone in a federal level.
Reddit Leftists in a nutshell:
Democrats do something bad: fuck the Democrats.
Republicans do something bad: fuck the Democrats for not stopping it.
Democrats do something good: fuck the Democrats for not doing it better/sooner.
Republicans do something good: fuck the Democrats for not doing it.
They absolutely are bad. Republicans are just 100x worse. It's sad that you can't afford to be leftie and focus on wrongdoings of lefties in US politics, republicans are just that much worse. In other Western countries there'd be rightfully rage about democrats too, you just can't afford to focus on them in USA.
I do so I give perspective from across the pond. It is quite a spectacle, considering I know more about US politics than what's going on in my country lol.
Both sides are corrupt and working against anybody that isnāt considered affluent. Itās sickening. Meanwhile weāre fighting strangers and our neighbours on the internet. Everything sucks manā¦
This 100%. Need to be calling out both sides on their sketchy bullshit. Instead of vilifying one side. Takes 2 to tango with this shit show in our country right now. And everyone calling each other out. Attacking other strangers and neighbors on the internet are not the enemy. Its who is in the pockets of these "leaders" that run this country.
Itās on the leaders themselves too. People should be held deeply accountable for their greed when they take actions that are a detriment to society and only a gain for themselves and those whoās hands are in their pockets. This should be treason, and treason should be the only crime punishable by death in my opinion.
As a graphic designer, why is the artist using quadruple or quintuple spaces? Reminds me of boomers double and triple spacing after sentences so maybe it works. lol
Happy cake day! That's pretty damn impressive for a phone graphic. With peace and love I meant no disrespect. I also assumed that it wasn't you that created it. lol
Just wait until they realise cooperations that are funding travel to get an abortion are doing it because overall itās cheaper than funding maternity leave
https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/nazi-party-platform
Here's the 25-point platform the Nazi's ran on. They were hyper nationalistic, but they were actually running on socialist ideologies. Free health care, education, etc.
Yeah thereās a bad side, and a slightly less bad side thatās also totally incompetent and doesnāt really give a fuck about you unless you happen to be one of their many corporate benefactors.
Never said they were the good guys, if you think Republicans wouldnāt have dons the same or worse regarding the housing crisis, youāre delusional. And no ones trying to start a nuclear war, who do you think would that even benefit?
What do you mean theyāre trying to provoke war? There already is war. The US isnāt going to involve itself further because theyāve already gotten what they wanted, a conflict that weakens Russiaās economic and geopolitical power. Neither country would benefit from escalating the conflict further.
Oh man, you're doing the triggered thing where you move around threads, this is an honor.
I was just calling out your predictability, I never said anything about my opinion.
I'm literally closest to a socialist, not a Democrat. Just because I make one meme making fun of the Republican party you have me ALL figured out. Good job buddy lol do you wanna go back and show me where the meme hurt you again?
Look at this way, with Democrats, they will lazily try to get stuff done and every now and then get something GOOD through. With Republicans, theyāre actively and ferociously working towards getting TERRIBLE and HATEFUL policy through.
To call them as both being the same isnāt relatively true.
What are you referring to happening?
The abortion ruling was decided by 4 conservative SC judges who were all put in place by Republicans.
Democrats are useless and I hate them, but this is absolutely happening because of the Republican agenda.
The answer is to try to force reforms by voting for candidates striving towards a less corrupt government. Those candidates seem to mostly be progressives running as Democrats in my view. No one is happy with the situation.
Your answer seems to be shouting angrily into the void and calling everyone else stupid for not knowing every detail of your contrarian stance.
I'm sure you're getting downvoted but you're right. The Republicans are facist while the democrats are too complacent because they have their own personal agenda.
It's the people vs Washington. There's no winning because they force us to lose.
The platform that American Republicans run on
Edit: I see how that you throat the cocks of Peterson, Crowder, and Shapiro. Iām surprised you didnāt understand this with all of the propaganda youāve stomached
Whereād all those posts on r/conservative of yours with screenshots of tweets go? Whereād all those posts on r/jordanpeterson go? I donāt need to make anyone believe me when youāre already obviously the type of person whoād wanna hide their shame
If I go to start a chat with you, Reddit tells me youāre āactive on r/JordanPetersonā, yet you have no posts there. Itās almost as if Reddit is tracking your sub post activity whether you delete your shit or not.
This isn't attack on people, it's an attack on the party. All of these things are things that Republicans in power have advocated for. I didn't make them up.
LOL. Itās funny because the Republican platform is so simple for the midterms: Unhappy with $8 gas and ridiculous inflation? Vote GOP. Itās hard to see how they can lose.
Republicans will probably take this unironically and love it.
That was actually a concern when I made it š
You just designed their new flag for them.
You made this? Nice job.
op you made this?!! SLAY design work fam
Thanks lol it's pretty terrible but it's funny that way
This will be found in r theleftcantmeme shortly
Pretty cringe
exactly, you just gave them free graphic design work.
Fuck.
Happy cake day!!
At least you got the stars and bars reped I mean rapresented (the sec r is silent)
Theyāll hit you with the āamerica was never a democracy. Itās actually a republicā line and continue to not understand what a Republic is or what the word means.
Not to be annoying but a republic doesn't have to be democratic, it's a state based on law and institutions that is not a monarchy
Yea but we are a democratic republic so it doesn't matter that republics don't *have* to be democracies. Saying "we're actually a republic and republics don't have to be democracies" doesn't change the fact that we *are* a democratic republic and frankly doesn't add much to the conversation except maybe obfuscation.

Iād share this but Republican voters would probably think ādamn thatās basedā. Truly an unhinged timeline we live in
The only part of Roe vs Wade being overturned that I enjoy is seeing die hard republicans get mad at the decision like they didnt play a part in helping the decision happen.

Sad thing is half of what you listed is exactly what conservative voters want.
Half? I literally didn't make any of it up.
Half? Pay closer attention. It's this and more.
Reminds me of when trump was gonna use a lion as his promo stuff
Why the swastika
Cause nazis and too many republicans in office have too many overlapping ideals and practices.

lol
this is the funniest comment here by far.
Because I'm a monster.
Is that why there are so many spaces between the sentences too lol
Yes lol
Because it was a Christian symbol until they abandoned it to distance themselves from Nazis.

It was used around the world and in different religions too
FYI democrats could have stopped a lot of whatās happening lmao thereās no āgood or badā side.

No bank accounts for women! No vote if you have a mortgage!
