Just like all of the impeach trump and orange man bad that went on last round, too bad we only elect people affiliated with Republicans and Democrats.

How, in your opinion, does this sticker equal verbal arguments that "orange man" is a bad person?

The slew of political stickers while they contain different ideas are an equal but opposite response every time we switch the current group in charge. The left likes to think they own the moral high ground especially on Reddit, when in reality everyone voting for Democrats or Republicans are equally voting for more of the same corruption and collusion we have had for nearly a century while pointing at the other half voting for more of the same bs.

Sounds like you've chosen nihilism.

It's nihilism to be unwilling to keep doing the same exact thing and hoping for a better outcome?
From my perspective I have hope for something better and I'm not doing the insane thing of thinking two groups proven to collude against the population for literally a century are the answer to anything getting better at all. Like pay fucking attention to the world around you, read world history from the view points of the oppressed populations and the oppressors, and get a grip on reality not a narrative, both blue and red love their controlled narrative not the explicit truth.

Sorry. I'm just a dumb rural blue collar guy who first voted in 1984. 'Both sides' what again?

I'm not the one here arguing for the benefit of people that literally don't care if you or I live or die. If you vote blue or red it's the same snake that's gonna bite you repeatedly every time.

That's not an argument. That's a manifesto. Progress absolutely requires working in the lines. Anything else is a violent revolution. Is that what you're suggesting?

Progress hasn't happened, the general population has lost ground especially since your generation started voting almost 40 years ago. At least then there were still 3 parties at debates, now because of people like you we have less of a chance of anything actually progressing towards a better future. And clearly you haven't been paying attention in recent years either, between the massive civil unrest with racial injustice and then at almost the same time a major almost insurrection and coup from the opposite side means we are about to face civil war due to the entrenched division created by the two parties of identity politics you all have voted for and want.

People like me? Civil War? You're barmy. Keep on downvoting if it makes you feel good though. That action is as irrelevant as your opinion.
Progress hasn't happened? What a maroon.
