So many ‘both sides are the same’ memes by Blue MAGA trying to voter shame like they do ever election year. We don’t live in a democracy, we haven’t in awhile. Another example of the plutocracy surfaced today…

    If you want some entertainment check out this person’s profile. I thought these were some pretty bad takes, and then I found the other thread where she’s angry that it’s Biden’s fault that Covid still exists.

      I get that you’re blue maga, but the worms can’t have totally emptied your brain out if you’re still typing. My pronouns are right there.

          Thanks.

          To your post I absolutely do blame Biden for covid being around: he was the one who ended all the pandemic protections because he wanted to return to normal because it was politically expediant- even if it was the wrong public health choice.

          He ended all the payouts which were started under trump because they were “overheating” the economy.

          Like Trump sucks but at least he can be bullied into stuff like the covid unemployment payouts.

            If there’s one thing that’s definitely associated in my mind with Trump, it’s “can be bullied into a sensible Covid policy.” Who can forget the way everyone was able to keep him on an even keel during Covid, and how all Trump’s openness to sensible policy went out the window and people started dying, when Biden came along.

              At least the blue magas were pretending to care then, before it was time to declare “back to normal” so that they can reduce the social security liability more by getting people killed needlessly.

                  Not even remotely enough, good God this is what happens when the bar is on the floor, people just vomit out useless statistics like they’re actually making a difference

                    This part, I actually 100% agree with.

                    On the other hand, if the house is on fire, and one firefighter as soon as he gets on scene removes 40% of the gasoline from the garage even with a lot of people trying to fistfight him for doing that much, and the other firefighter says we have to get more gasoline in the house because taking away the gasoline is a Chinese plot to cripple our economy, I would feel comfortable saying that someone on Lemmy who is claiming the second firefighter is actually the superior firefighter is talking pure unadulterated weapons grade bollocks.

                    Okay, next one: Hundreds of billions of dollars worth of student loan forgiveness. Your turn, go!
