    Why are Americans so focused on left vs right? Both parties are fascists they’re just trying to take away different rights for the time being.

      Bear in mind that the US’ main parties do not define the extent of Left and Right.

      Yeah the good guys are the centrists who want to continue the status quo: grind the poor people, make them pay fortunes for basic needs while making the rich richer.

          Oh right you are talking about the Dem vs Rep and not left vs right. I totally misunderstood you.

          I’m so fed up with enlightened centrists that I judged you wrongly. My bad.

          I know you mean democrats, but that would be incorrect about the second amendment and freedom of association.

          Where’d you read that?

            The blues have been spearheading the attempts to strip gun rights away for a decade. They’re the reason the ATF felt so comfortable changing rules randomly to turn millions of Americans into felons overnight. The most agregious recent example is the legality of arm braces. Although to be fair that gung ho attitude never changed when the reds were in office. Theyre more than content to let it happen.

            I did mispeak about freedom of association however. Turns out that’s also being spearheaded by the reds.

              Yeah, but you’re also wrong about the gun rights. They’re trying to enact sensible laws, not strip gun rights.

              The most [egregious] recent example is the legality of arm braces.

              It’s not egregious, that’s called a sensible conversation.

              Why do gun fanatics need these types of guns anyway? What are you hunting, dragons? It’s so cringe to me when gun enthusiasts get all upset about responsible gun laws - they just want to shoot everything and anything with the most firepower they can acquire. God forbid they have to earn the right to own such a weapon.

                Trying to apply justifications to the stripping of rights does not change the fact the rights are being eroded. Also if you think it’s okay to make millions of people felons overnight by the whim of unelected bureaucrats then this conversation clearly will go nowhere. Have a good day.

                  Also wrong. I knew you were going to spout some far right bullshit propaganda.

                  Here, take some time to educate yourself.

                  Listen up people - it is okay to evolve our laws as we evolve as people. No one needs a fucking AR-15, and if you do, it should be regulated.

        To bear arms.

        Also nobody seems interested in male reproductive rights.

        Also, have you seen how leftist moderators here on Lemmy behave?

          No they’re not.

          Okay, I’ll bite. Like what?

            Can you see yourself right now? You’re literally lying and discrediting purely based of personal impression, and that’s the same behavior your whole crowd has that I have a problem with.

                Do I really need a reference to point out your party’s major stances? FFS, do you even know them yourself, or do you just pick a color and root for your team like it’s sports?

                  Yes. You need a reference when you’re talking pure bullshit. None of that unfounded crap is on the democratic agenda. That’s why you can’t cite a single reference.

                  Bullshit like yours needs to be called out every time.

      The Left think they’re morally superior… Prepare to be downvoted to oblivion kek

      Meanwhile, me a Libertarian Socialist laughs at both sides for being totalitarian in their own way.

      One of them lies about it while virtue signalling empty promises and the other says “what are you gonna do about it, huh? Yeah, that’s what I thought”

        Well the left wants to treat people as people and the right want to treat immigrants, trans and women as garbage. Pretty sure that makes us a bit more moral.
