Just because the Ratchet Effect is true doesn't mean that both sides are the same. You sound like a Republican. And the only value Republicans have is hate.

You wanna improve things? Vote in leftists who will actually work to fix things. The presidential elections ain't gonna do shit until we have a party actually willing to field candidates who want to fix things.

I love that your response is: "You're not wrong, but you're wrong." I sound like someone who isn't looking through blue or red-eyed glasses, and to partisans, that makes me sound like the opposition, because somehow you're constitutionally incapable of being objective.

Thanks for your input.

Nah, you sound like leopards ate your face. Because this did happen under Trump as well. The programs that help protect people like your parents were created by leftists, slashed by Republicans for decades, and kept on life support by Democrats.

Look at what Musk is doing now. All the issues that your parents have? About to get way worse, very quickly.

You came into the "People who fucked around and found out" community to complain about people pointing out people who fucked around and found out, and called them the elitist Democrat stereotype that Republicans always pull out because they're not trying to "reach across the aisle" to a group of people who repeatedly vote against their own interests, no matter how often you point it out.
