So you agree that both parties don't really care about the people, but you'd rather support the one that lies or pretends to care? Odd reasoning.
Yeah, I didn't say concentration camps. So quick to assume a 1940s Germany reference. I did Nazi that coming. For reference, the article said "Forty-five percent of Democrats who took the poll were in favor of the government forcing people who refuse the vaccine to live in designated facilities or locations." It also said that 2/3 of the respondents were in favor of the government digitally tracking unvaccinated people. See, if I wanted to make a Nazi reference, I would probably say "Your papers, please!", but you knew that.
WASHINGTON (TND) — A majority of Democrats support punitive and restrictive policies against the unvaccinated, according to the results of a new poll. A recent national telephone and online survey from The Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports says respondents who claimed to be Democrats...

For a guy that hasn't voted for either side, you seem rather attached to the Democrats. I mean, I've voted almost strictly Republican down the ballot in at least 12 elections and I don't speak that highly of them. That doesn't mean I worship "daddy Trump" or think he's a god. I've said it before, I think he's a pretty flawed individual. I am shocked he's still running at this point though, I would have thrown in the towel personally if anybody was coming after me like the Democrats have. What I do appreciate is entertainment, I find it amusing how riled up he makes liberals. Quite frankly though, the 4 years under Trump were better for my family than the 8 under Obama and certainly the 4 under Biden, so for those two reasons I'll vote for him again. I so look forward to the day he retires from politics, but I'll miss the memes.
In truth, I'm rather jaded about politics. While occasional policies can certainly hurt or help different demographics over the course of each administration, each new president is more of less representative of the Who's line from Won't Get Fooled Again: "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss." Every election is the election of our lives, and yet we always come out of each election more or less intact. If every election is the most consequential election of our lives, then they're all somewhat meaningless. Therein lies the truth.
So you'll excuse me if you think I'm not arguing in good faith. I see both parties as little more than a vehicle to control the population. When I see people regurgitating the same talking points that the hive-mind mass media has been feeding them, I see sheep. Neither side is really interested in helping the people. They take their marching orders from lobbies, and they pretend to care so they can remain in power and flush with cash. One party is never in power long, because if they were it would upset the balance. It's been since WWII that a party has had control more than 2 cycles.
You throw out hypocrisy. Why do you think Democrats aren't just as hypocritical? They say they protect women, and yet they can't define a woman and they allow biological men to enter their school bathrooms so they can rape and assault women. They let biological men compete against women in sports, sometimes leading to serious injuries. "My body, my choice" just as long as we're not talking about experimental jabs. "Trust the science," unless, of course, we're talking about defining a woman again. Liberals cry for the planet, how climate change will destroy the Earth, all the while taking trips all across the country in private fuel guzzling jets and convoys of SUVs. Liberals call election deniers traitors, almost as if they've forgotten all about 2016 when Trump was the "Illegitimate" President who didn't really win. Liberal colleges cry for free speech and safe spaces, but if a conservative speaker comes to campus they often need security and they may get run off under threats of violence or they get shouted down so their voice isn't heard. Liberal politicians were all in support of their towns being Sanctuary Cities, until bus loads of illegals started showing up. There are always school shootings, but even when Democrats are fully in power they rarely do anything to stem the tide themselves despite the outcries. Liberals say they care about gun safety and have a hard on about banning or restricting "Assault Rifles," but this type of firearm is only responsible for 3% or ~300 of the firearm deaths a year. Just a few examples for you.
So yeah, when I say both parties are more or less two sides of the same shitty coin and you try to say otherwise, maybe you can understand why I would think that's silly. Sure, I'll post Twitter stories and I'll poke the bear because it's fun, but at the end of the day both parties are just a sham that gives us the illusion we have representation.
