      Coming from the guy who can’t even tell his own party is center-right and nowhere near left, I’ll take that as a compliment.

        Not my party. Not my country. Too right for me. But guess what! You’ll never guess! Despite the red coloring, the Republicans are actually even further to the right! Wow. Blew your mind right there - bet you didn’t even realise you could get worse than the Democrats!

          Republicans are actually even further to the right

          They’re actually not. They’re just louder about it.

              If you genuinely think the Democrats are to the left of the Republicans, then it shouldn’t be hard to think of one single thing they’ve done in the last 35 years that benefitted working people more than it benefitted Wall St, right?

              And before you go with the obvious ones that everyone goes with, the ACA and ARRA both delivered steam shovels full of money to Wall St and left the working class with crumbs, and if I have to actually go fish up the sources to prove it to you I’m probably just gonna block you right after.

                Your threat to never reply to me again isn’t as scary as you seem to think.

                Again, if you care to consult reality, you’ll find that Republicans are usually much worse than Democrats, cutting taxes for rich people and cutting welfare for poor people. Biden, probably one of the most notably centrist, mid Democrats lifted an estimated three million children out of poverty, for example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Rescue_Plan_Act_of_2021

                Of course America needs free healthcare for all, just like every civilized country has (not just subsidised private healthcare). But guess which party is doing the most to oppose that! The Republicans of course.

                Of course the Democrats would be called conservative in most European countries, but they’re not as loony right as the Republicans, and some of them are very slightly left.

                I mean, there’s loads and loads of examples, but you don’t want to think about that, you just want to go on spewimg BoTh sIDes nonsense so that the actually facist Republicans can win again. I don’t know why you think for a moment that I would believe you’re genuine in asserting your left wing motivation. You only love authoritarianism.

                  So that’s also a solid “no” on being able to.come up with a time when the Dems helped people? Letting us have the crumbs when they serve a feast to Wall St ain’t it. If there’s “loads of examples” surely you can point to one and explain how it helped working people more than worthless, lazy, piece of shit shareholders.

                    It’s like you didn’t read my comment at all. Love how you dismissed three million children being lifted out of poverty as nothing. Here in the real world, that kind of thing matters. But why would you listen to a human if you don’t listen to reality?
