I’m sure that you can hardly do worse than Trump, but still. Here’s the famous associated meme :

    Apparently it’s for misinformation campaigns trying to turn the left against voting in the upcoming election.

    Remember folks, apathy is one of the biggest tools in the GOP’s arsenal. Pretending like a post is coming from some bleeding heart liberal to make it seem like the Democrats are JuSt As BaD as the GOP. These type of posts are here to make it seem as if both parties are the same, all so you decide to sit it out on election day. A low voter turnout only helps the fascists of the Republican Party gain more power.

      Democrats are just as bad and as fascist as the GOP.

      We’re not encouraging anyone to either vote or not vote, we’re just pointing out the truth about the corporate uniparty that rules the US.

      Also, there are such things as third parties, just saying… you don’t have to vote for the blue fascists just because you don’t like the red fascists.

      The OP tweets directly dispute your claim because they show there’s little material difference between the two parties. Voting for Dems means getting almost exactly the same as voting for the GOP but with crocodile tears. Looks like Dem policy is the bigger tool in the GOP arsenal.

      Also, it doesn’t matter who wins the popular vote as the electoral college will override it if they don’t like the result. Nor does it matter who is voted for in primaries because the party machinery can override it if they don’t like the result.

      It’s okay, though. It’s hard to come to terms with the fact that the US isn’t a democracy. One day your people will be free. Hopefully it doesn’t cost what Dems and the GOP made Iraq, Libya, Vietnam, Korea, the indigenous, African slaves, etc (it’s a long list), pay for their democracy and freedom.

        voting demos means getting almost the exact same as voting for the gop…

        Yeah… no. Stop trying to force some false equivalency. One party may try to fix something and fail because the other party blockades, while the other part (gop) actively makes everything worse and then scapegoats all problems onto minorities. Not the same.

        It’s hard to come to terms with the fact that it’s possible to leave a comment without sounding like an insufferable twat on a high horse. One day you will learn how…
