I literally can't tell the difference! They're the same picture! /s

Biden, or the left at large, isn't immune to criticism just because Trump, or the right at large, is worse. Biden, the DNC, and the American left are pretty bad right now and deserve criticism even if Trump, the GOP, and the right are much worse. Saying both sides are bad doesn't necessarily mean they're equally bad.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 10 months ago

Yes we know. The commenter above you said that both sides are not the same, not that the democrats are perfect.

Chips act, drug control prices, non competes banned, green energy, going for Roe, student debt reform, weed, PACT act, etc, etc, Get outta here with that ~~bothsidessame~~ oh he tried the "left pretty bad" instead.

But it's very important that it always happen during election year. Just in case the Republicans have it too hard.

The most tragic thing about this is the effort that it now takes to listen to the other side. Each post is on a different network. People won't be faced with the other side's message because they literally don't have the app to do it installed on their phones.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 10 months ago

I've seen everything Trump posts on Truth Social despite never having installed the app.

I also don't have Twitter but I see a lot of those, too.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

I have neither app installed on my phone and I've never felt better.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (4 children)

Maybe don't ban people for opposing views and actually have the spine to have your views challenged.

Echo chambers are brain damage generators

[–] [email protected] 47 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That only works when everyone is participating in good faith.

Call it tragedy of the commons or sealioning, but the unfortunate reality is a lot of online “discourse” is only interested in distracting, confusing, and exhausting you.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

also the paradox of tolerance

[–] [email protected] 21 points 10 months ago

Today on "treating online social interactions the same way you'd treat in person interactions is censoring conservatives!"

Nothing narcissists hate more than when you realize you don't actually have to keep dealing with them and their shit.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 10 months ago

Which harmless opposing view got Trump banned?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

It took a bit more than opposing views but sure

[–] [email protected] 49 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They call them ReTruths?

I literally can’t even.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 10 months ago

For all the crying they do about “literally 1984!” they sure are oblivious to when their side uses language that would be right at home in the book.

Clairvoyant?????????

Kinda ironic seeing Trump calling Biden as a "radical left marxists" while Biden as nothing to do with socialism at all, he even support cuba embargo.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Anyone left of Hitler is a "radical left marxist."

[–] [email protected] 26 points 10 months ago (3 children)

This is how Trump should have done it:

🎄🎅 Merry Christmas to EVERYONE, including the Radical Left Marxists 🟥👹 that are trying to destroy our Country 🇺🇸, the Federal Bureau of Investigation 🕵️‍♂️🔍 that is illegally coercing & paying Social and LameStream Media 📺📰 to push for a mentally disabled Democrat 🧠🤕 over the Brilliant 🌟, Clairvoyant 🔮, and USA LOVING ❤️🇺🇸 Donald J. Trump 🦅🇺🇸 and, of course, The Department of Injustice ⚖️👿, which appointed a Special "Prosecutor" 👨‍⚖️🔍 who, together with his wife and family 👩‍👩‍👧‍👦, HATES "Trump" 😡 more than any other person on earth 🌍. LOVE TO ALL! ❤️🎄

Do I really have to look at my fellow Americans? They're not pretty.

Okay but only if you're shiny and chrome

I'm fat and Jewish? I also sometimes wear boots

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Just...? Boots?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

I'll take it

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I feel like a rational and sane society would recognize the one on the right isn't worth elevating for a comparison.

Or it wouldn't brook anyone willing to compromise with it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

You are correct that we are not a rational and sane society.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

..Did he actually Truth(tm) that?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

When trump says about "left Marxists", I see far left Marxists in a brighter light (not you tankies, fuck you).

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

I automatically read it in the Joker's voice. It just works.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Can we talk about the implications of "retruths"? Sounds a lot like "Alternative facts"...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

One side wants people the best regardless of what they are.

The other just wants to see others suffer.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Can't believe people were seriously claiming this app was controlled by tankies a few weeks ago because a genocidal sundowning pensioner has suddenly got this ENTIRE platform clamouring to defend him because they can't bring themselves to realise how badly they fucked up by ever allowing the petulant child-sniffing freak to ever run in the first place.

This man is all yours. He enabled a genocide and oversaw the largest attack on your civil rights in a generation without anything but a few tweets, but you'll all cream over a very obviously PR-written tweet versus a man who runs circles around him only because he also hasn't succumbed to his own mental degradation yet.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Politics to America liberals is all about optics and aesthetics. No substance. They have been shown to effortlessly swallow genocide so long as the accused is "presidential" and "civil" and "someone you could share a beer with". Never-mind actual, substantive policy issues that actually materially affect Americans.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

It's even worse, though. They've all seen the emperor without his clothes - barely able to form a coherent sentence whilst his aides scramble to keep him from mentally deteriorating into a coma before November. Yet I'm watching liberals convince themselves that his PR-controlled twitter is somehow evidence that the president is not only lucid but competent.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Ah, I see the problem. The punctuation is wrong.

But as who we really are , fellow Americans.

FTFY

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

It's a sentence fragment either way, but otherwise the colon is fine.
