Don't remember the last time the Democrats had military storming our streets and black bagging US residents en masse and deporting them to war zones like South Sudan or Libya despite those people having zero ties to those countries.

This reeks of fucking shitpost right-wing propaganda.

Edit: here come all the "but the US/CIA did all this fucked up stuff to other countries under Dems, too!"

JFC, the current "president" who is GOP literally yells about wanting to deport/arrest political opponents, censor TV personalities (e.g. Colbert, Fallon, etc), openly calls to suppress political opposition in voting, openly supports ignoring the courts when they interfere with his blatantly unconstitutional actions, etc etc .

Yes, the Dems aren't fucking innocent, but to pretend they're the same as a party that's openly trying to "take back the Nazi word" is fucking insane.

Damn I wonder why Libya is like that!

You absolute ghouls literally don't see foreigners as human

I dont think there is a lib alive who remembers the dems role in the destruction of Libya other than those directly involved in it.

Fact based education standards.

Teaching a bunch of lies about American exceptionalism and how imperialism is actually good isn’t what I’d call “fact based”

Stop racism in policing

Right like how democrats in nearly all major cities increased police funding and almost none passed any meaningful reform.

Expanded healthcare subsidies

But don’t remotely consider universal healthcare

Preserve democracy

Preserve the status quo which I wouldn’t call a democracy. A democracy enacts the will of the people, democrats don’t even have a democratic primary for their own party.

I think you dropped this:

Democrats & Republicans

  • Bombed kids
  • Tortured innocent people
  • Increased the surveillance state
  • Took money from the poor and working class, and gave it to their rich friends
  • Spent billions on wars, while claiming that they couldn't afford to fix our healthcare or housing problems
  • Boasted about deporting more people than Republicans
  • Backed a Genocide

And that stuff about abortion shouldn't even be there after they didn't do anything for it.

The uni-party trash system.

At least Democrats want to slowly slide us into a monarchy. MAGA wants it NOW!

The fact that there are so many dislikes proves how propagandized the average American is. "How dare you call both sides the same" Well, they ojectively are pretty much the same with few exceptions.

Especially for non-Usian people, doubly especially for those on the working end of US "diplomacy" - bombs, coups and sanctions come regardless of which US administration, there is literally no difference whatsoever.

Change my mind

Capitalism is a tool to maximize profit. Whoever thought it was a good idea to let capitalism have influence on laws so that they can maximize its profit was a big fool.

What do you expect? Capitalism, a tool, has by definition no morale. Let it decide politics to increase profit and you end up with that kind of shit society we have today.

Don't blame the hammer, when you hit your thumb. Also, don't let the hammer decide where to make the biggest dent.

Can we please start again focusing on the people? Without people there is no society, and there is no market to increase profits.

Start using capitalism and free markets like a tool. Want more renewable and clean energy? Make rules and see the magic of capitalism in making the best out of it.

Instead we let capitalism decide what should be done next and suffer the consequences. It's as easy as that.

Unfortunately capitalism not only create the rules, they also decide what is news and influence societies views. And that's why OPs picture is as it is.

Fuck socialism, am I right guys?!

To be fair, you have to credit Democrats with Obamacare which was really a way to improve the lives of poorer people

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

Obamacare is responsible for finding the masses in my breasts right now so I like it. I'd like it more if just everyone could go to the doctor and not have to ask, like I do, "is it covered by my insurance"

And the 2000s bank bailouts.

DNC is a huge problem with America as was Biden/Garland. They need/needed Trump to not fall out of a window, or be in military jail, in order for the most warmongering neocon DNC candidates to ensure warmongering. After Oct 7th, DNC's Israel first "job is to gaslight the left into supporting Israel", meant ensuring Trump's win, and today, have their elected Zionist supremacists, repeat attacks of communism on Mamdani.

On global warming, forcing a proxy war on Russia, not only enriches domestic oil companies to fund climate denial. pushing global diesel (home heating fuel same fraction) refining capacity to limit, with massive emissions from war, it also means no cooperation with Russia possible on global warming. It is simply impossible to prioritize human sustainability, if voters are made to support war, while struggling with the economic collapse directly accelerated by it, not to mention cultural divisiveness issues (not DNC/Biden fault).

The US needs either a military coup, or candidates/party that will remove citizenship and assets of Zionist oligarchy influencing US rulership. If money is speech, then money is terrorism.
