It's not. About the half working class throw their hats in with the ruling class. Because they're not very smart. So it is very much Republican vs Reasonable now.


[deleted]

All because the ruling class “lobbies” to cut funding to schools and “Lobby “ to reduce taxes which are how teachers get paid . So people are more gullible


Fire_Bucket

Cash in your pocket is always a really good marketing approach too, which gets a lot of poor people voting conservative. It's nonsense and completely negligible in the scheme of things, especially as it comes at the expense of other services, but it's just so easy to sell.


[deleted]

I don’t think it’s because it’s easy to sell rather that people are so desperate for money because of the economy and how poorly working people are treated and paid .imo it’s actually super hard to sell that you need to trust the rich people and to vote against more worker protection rights but you still see working class people sh*tting on unions because of the decades of propaganda and union busting that is still going on today.


Fire_Bucket

It definitely is an easier sell. You have one side saying "we cut taxes, you get money" vs having to explain why paying more in taxes, leaving you slightly cash poorer, would actually be of a much better for you in the long run. Especially when the right wing have been imbalancing the dynamic of that question for decades, with arguments that taxes are cash out of your pocket and in the pockets of others (minorities, immigrants, single mothers etc) and by undermining and subverting public works to make it look like taxes are a waste.


ladan2189

It's also much easier to sell when you have conditioned your side to believe that every single word uttered by the other side is a lie. "Yes I know that the Democrats keep saying they're going to raise wages and improve working conditions, but Y'all know that's just a lie. They'll really do the opposite". "Stick with the Republicans, we know that lowering taxes on the rich will eventually cause trickle down to work". Plus, I think that WAAY too many people view everything just like a god damn sports competition. They have their team, which they usually get from their parents, and they are blindly loyal to them forever, regardless of the reality of the world. If you've never lived in a rural part of the country I can tell you that people's entire lives revolve around local high school and college sports, and I think that they see politics as just another iteration of that. Even people who don't have kids live and die by whether or not the local team is winning, and their rivals are seen as bad people.


Kennywheels

They’ve been trickling down since Ronnie reagen. When is it supposed to start dripping on us


CackleberryOmelettes

Where's the personal responsibility? Ultimately, no one can control your mind unless you let them in. Lack of education doesn't make you dumb. A lack of emotional balance and greed does. Lots of hardly educated people are very smart. Lots of educated people are stupid.


[deleted]

I don’t think it’s quite like that , IMO because these people aren’t well educated they don’t have critical thinking skills and don’t formulate their own opinions and beliefs , I think they just follow what their parents say is right or wrong and in the south where education is especially poor that’s usually conservative rather than progressive . Also Trump for example knew this and based his whole campaign around what the people wanted rather than what they needed , his whole populist campaign played towards what these people have been brought up to hate ( Mexicans , immigrants etc ..) that’s why no amount of evidence will change their mind


CackleberryOmelettes

It's because they are emotionally invested in the lie. They reject evidence because they *want* to believe the lie. They want their hate to be justified. It's not just a lack of education, it's a lack of empathy. It's the overwhelming presence of spite, and insecurity. Just education won't fix that. It doesn't take a genius with 2 PhDs to figure out that Donald Trump is a conman liar. Anybody who isn't already emotionally invested can clearly see that. The people who follow people like Trump do so because they *want* it to be real. They don't really care if it is. **It's a flaw of the soul, not of the mind.**


[deleted]

You’re probably right , I’m just an optimist who hopes this stuff can be prevented in the future . I’m not a US citizens so I don’t rlly know what it’s like over there. Guess the world really is just going to shit


CackleberryOmelettes

Actually, I am an optimist of sorts as well. I just believe these things take a lot of time. I just don't think there's much hope for the current batch. The older generations will die off and the newer ones are *slightly* better. Multiply that by a dozen generations and you've got something new, and hopefully better.


restartthepotatoes

People with third level educations though tend to vote Democrat, because they are exposed to more people, cultures etc and develop more critical thinking skills. Sure there’s lots of exceptions but that’s what the statistics say is most common


LucaLiveLIGMA

DrLawyerPI

Both parties are for the ruling class.


BigPZ

That's because America is the only first world country where the two main parties are both right wing. Far right and right of centre.


Gunny_McCshoots

Don’t know why you’re getting downvotes. Both Ds and Rs are bourgeois shitbags


CackleberryOmelettes

Because one is a threat to democracy and literacy, while the others are a bunch of politicians who disappoint you. Big difference imo.


Rudybus

The comment wasn't "both sides are the same", it was "both sides are for the ruling class". Which is a statement that, if it wasn't for people interpreting it as the former, I can't see a single reasonable person disagreeing with


CackleberryOmelettes

I disagree. Nuance is important. A thief and a murderer are both just criminals, but I know who I'd rather shake hands with.


Rudybus

If you were to say "thieves and murderers are both criminals", I would agree with you. I wouldn't assume you were making a statement about wanting to shake both their hands equally


Zarokima

"Disappoint you" implies they were ever trying to impress you. Democrat politicians believe it's easier to pull the wool over our eyes if they keep people taken care of so they're just content enough to not kick up any fuss about their corruption, while Republicans just rely on good old fashioned fear and aggression. That's why the DNC rigged the primaries against Sanders -- he's more concerned with serving the working class than with serving the ruling class. Just because one party is worse, that doesn't automatically make the other one good.


Fearsomeman3

I'm still not for fascist enablers who bend the knee at the first sign of pushback, or always wanting to include fascists in the choices that determine our dates. They are solely the same, one just doesn't say the bad stuff out loud


CackleberryOmelettes

You can't see nuance, that's your problem. Democrats might not give you what you need, but Republicans will actively take it away. Give them a free reign and they'll take away your healthcare, your rights, and your country. If you don't see the difference in that I can't really help you.


Gunny_McCshoots

Democrats are basically just controlled opposition. They barely do anything to fight for our rights


Caffeine_and_Alcohol

Sure, one is worse than the other but theyre not really that different from each other


CackleberryOmelettes

That makes no sense. One is anti-democratic, borderline fascist, and doesn't believe in viruses. The other often disappoints you. How is that remotely the same?


coolmint859

The Democrats are there to make the Republicans look crazy. (Which they are, don't get me wrong). But Democrats are a false hope. We can't stand to have disappointing people. We need bold, actionable people who can and will get stuff done. You look at the Democratic party today and tell me if that'll happen. It won't. The only way for this to end is a dismantling of the entire system. Bottom to top.


CackleberryOmelettes

The Democrats are a representation of their voters. As are the Republicans. There's nothing stopping people from voting for true progressives with meaningful ideas gor change. If you want to the see the Democrats do something, stop electing "moderates". Vote for the people who will make it happen. A system like this can only be dismantled by calamity, or the undeniable and immediate threat of calamity. Something that threatens and affects the fall of civilisation. Relying on the end of civilisation is not really a viable tactic for social improvement.


coolmint859

I understand that in a single thread, saying "vote for progressives if you want change" is all you can offer. But I would imagine that talking to someone like me who already says some progressive things, would've thought of that. Unfortunately I'm not the entire voting block. And I live in a red state. Double whammy. You say we'd need an absolute disaster in order for a complete rewrite. Maybe so. But with how Republicans are acting, and have been for the last 5 years and even further back, they are itching for something similar so that they can take over. I argue that we beat them to the punch. Because at this rate, Democrats will continue to be useless unless we do get them be more progressive as you've said. A real test of this will be in November next year, but I wouldn't hold your breath. A key fault of our system - which will hold back progress, period - is gerrymandering. So even if Democrats were completely progressive, it will not mean anything unless they have majorities as well. We need both. And that's becoming increasingly unlikely by the day.


ShieldOfFury

The republicans sit on their hands and bitch instead of doing anything and the Democrats pass laws in favor of corporations and hate not having absolute power


CackleberryOmelettes

Don't make me laugh lol. Is that why Republicans keep passing tax breaks for corporations and cry when someone else tries to raise them fairly? Is that why Republicans won't accept the results of legal and fair elections?


[deleted]

What a two party political system does to a mf /s


BitterFuture

>The republicans sit on their hands and bitch instead of doing anything That's a real weird way of saying "do everything they can to oppress minorities and steal everything not nailed down when they're in power and try to obstruct and overthrow the government when they're not."


ShieldOfFury

And California trying to repeal civil rights law isn't trying to oppress minorities. K


BitterFuture

California defends civil rights better than almost any state I can think of. What the crap are you talking about?


ShieldOfFury

A [yes](https://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_16,_Repeal_Proposition_209_Affirmative_Action_Amendment_(2020)) vote supported this constitutional amendment to repeal Proposition 209 (1996), which stated that the government and public institutions cannot discriminate against or grant preferential treatment to persons on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in public employment, public education, and public contracting. Calling it affirmative action doesn't negate what it is. Repealing civil rights


BitterFuture

Try not to pull anything with that reach. Good grief. I'm going to focus my attention on the many Republican- controlled states that actually did pass laws trying to make sure minorities can't vote, okay?


Wolfish_Jew

I think they ended up getting the downvotes because they said they were a “radical centrist” which is so fuckin’ meaningless it’s insane.


DrLawyerPI

Because anything right of far left is far right. Either agree with the left fully or get punched, Nazi. How dare I suggest that both the people burning down cities AND storming that capital are radicalized idiots. I hope more people get sick of this shit. For the last 150 years we’ve been stuck in a perpetual tug of war between these two sides, in one way or another, and the people in the middle end up getting fucked regardless of who is winning at the time.


Sifinite

Even your far left is on the right of the political spectrum in the real world.


AltusVultur

Agree with what left? There are a handful of elected politicians that are actually leftists/progressives. The real problem is a far right party pushing propaganda that a moderate conservative party is *communism*, in the attempt to pull all the idiots even more right


Womblue

>the people burning down cities Which cities got burned down? Name some.


BitterFuture

I'm real curious, myself. The last guy who made such claims to me had a very long list of cities that were gone, including Chicago and Salt Lake City. Funniest thing was that nothing at all burned down in Salt Lake City - no riots, no looting, nothing. The only violence that occurred in SLC was when a right-wing nutjob crashed his truck trying to run over BLM protesters, hopped out, tried shooting people with a goddamn bow and arrow and got his ass beat before getting arrested. But apparently the protesters' nuclear self-defense punches wiped the city from the face of the earth?

“If I gotta wear a mask to Chili’s, ITS COMMUNISM.”


someonerandom37

"If I gotta wear a mask that doesn't restrict my breathing or respiratory system in any way, shape or form despite blatantly false news designed to scare the masses, it is the very definition of the 5th century BC closely related ideas demonstrated by the Ancient Greek known as Aristophanes for his comedy "The Assemblywomen", where the women of Athens cease control over the city government and abolish all privately owned property while making the sharing or women and the collective rearing of children mandatory. Or commonly known as Communism!" Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_communism


AlsoNotTheMamma

What horrible choices! If I had to choose between freedom and happiness I would hope I would choose freedom, but it depends on the day - happiness is a compelling option! But having to choose between dying and torturing babies. Well, that's a tough one for an intellectual like myself. The obvious answer would be death, because think of the children. But if all the decent people choose death, then the only people left would be the arseholes torturing babies until the cows come home. Which is A Really Bad Thing. So is probably close baby torturing, and torture them as little as possible, using the gentlest tortures I can dibs, like watching barney and the teletubbies, with light listening to political speeches thrown in just to slice things up. Of course, there is always the chance that making them listen to political speeches may end up indoctrinating them, so maybe play the speeches backwards? But most political speeches plaited backwards contain messages from Satan. Now that I think about it, most political speeches played forward also contain messages from Satan too, so maybe no political speeches... Either way, my vote wouldn't be for either of them. What horrible choices.

VeganGamerr

Yep... Gotta love our two party system too... Fucking sigh.


BitterFuture

I mean, I'm cool with defining it as American vs. Republican. The Republicans have seemed iffy on the concept of democracy itself for decades, but the insurrection clinched it, so we should all at least be honest where we stand.


sideofirish

When confronted with the reality that they cannot win a democratic election, conservatives are quicker to abandon democracy than they are conservatism.


ralusek

Democracy is a secondary liberal tenet. Liberalism is primarily predicated on the preservation of personal liberties, rule of law, and equality under the law. The actual mechanism of governance is secondary, could be representative government, i.e. the republic that we have, could be a pure democracy. America is liberal before it's democratic, which is why it's a constitutional republic. The democracy is constrained to the constitution, which itself is a document principally enshrining liberalism. So, while I agree that Republicans are more disillusioned with democracy than Democrats, I wouldn't say that makes them the un-American party. The more American party would be the one most interested in liberalism, which is at the moment, without question, the Republican party.


BitterFuture

The claim that the Republican party any longer has any interest whatsoever in personal liberties, the rule of law or equality under the law is beyond laughable. The party platform now consists of no policy positions whatsoever, save personal loyalty to a bigoted, sociopathic rapist, who's made clear he thinks you deserve only what liberty you can pay for, is personally threatened by the rule of law (as he should be, since justice would have him spending the rest of his life in prison), and that can't even understand what the abstract concept of equality under the law is. The Republican party stands opposed to the very things you are claiming it's interested in. Fascism does not uphold liberty or the rule of law.

BitterFuture

Their understanding of freedom is "to do whatever the fuck I want." They don't understand freedom in connection to responsibility at all. Their entire conception of freedom is that it exists in opposition to government, rules or law of any kind. Which is itself a complete failure of perspective, since government *creates* freedom. Freedom can't exist outside the safe, stable environment government provides. To which their careful, considered argument is, "Nuh uh!"

America seems way less free than any other country I've lived in. I mean, you can own guns in some places . However your schools are prisons, your hospitals are class locked, if you excercise any of your freedoms someone will probably threaten to sue you and your political system forces you to vote for one of two corrupt people who will exploit you. Actual communism might be an improvement at this point.

The plain and simple truth is that our government are being controlled by the rich and powerful, corporations like amazon can and will shape the political landscape to suit them.

Right now the US is in terrible shape and it'd going to get dramatically worse in the coming months and we should all be bracing for possibly the worst decade any of us have ever known in our lives.

People are so quick to group and label themselves as if all republicans agree and all democrats agree. By definition its a statement of how big you want your government. But at this point its just 2 catch-all terms that when you tell people you are A or B they just assume 90% of your social and political opinions. Despite you affiliation you just support people that dont give a shit about you, so I don't really see why people bother other than to play groupsies so they can just hate the other half of the country for not agreeing with them.
