    I don’t like memes like this because they are easily dismissed, since the left absolutely has problems, and it’s not just “we want healthcare”

    However, the truth is, for all the faults the left has, they pale in comparison to the right wing batshittery.

        Unfortunately it doesn’t take much of a leap to translate that into “Prop up this system which was shaped by boomers for decades just long enough for the boomers to enjoy their retirements.”

        No thanks. I’d rather the boomers are still alive to see what happens.

      Moonbats who promised something to an altar of Joe Stalin are a minority of leftists, including radical leftists such as most people here.

      The right-wing nutcases are the hegemon. Those who aren’t themselves that extreme at the very least enable them, if not passively want the same things.

      As an outsider I see another problem with most of the US political discussions here. You all say that the republicans are obviously worse, make memes about them to your dudes to laugh at them. Yet half of your country active voters are likely to vote for them, would probably be more if they weren’t inherently apolitical.

      This whole American political discourse seems more fit for /r/im14andimsmart because it’s mostly shitting on your opponents despite the fact that after 12 of the 16 years(the whole generation) of the democrat presidents more people want to vote for the other party.

      I find it weird how you guys just laugh and meme at that like it’s non issue or just act as those people(hundreds of millions) are just stupid.
