remember this last election when Harris and Trump were both screaming to 'drill, baby, drill'

both sides think they are experts

both side are bought and paid for by the oligarchs

damn right a public leader needs to earn votes otherwise we get more Bidens and Trumps that think galas with celebs will do it

progressive democrats are oxymorons

whole reason why education is not funded properly and why even Democrats are against regulations that are pro Mother Earth

people remaining after voter suppression laws are the ones who will eat anything the Republicans or Democrats based on their check writers' opinions put on the menu

Goddamn right both sides

Best to pull a Martin Luther King Jr and fucking march on Washington DC in droves instead of dealing with more in fours years

Clearly Canadian

fucking hate elections

every four years we lose more rights or have less one way or another or our pay goes a little less every four years and it does not matter if Democrats or Republicans are in citizens are always losing something

only difference with Trump is the band aid is ripped off all at once instead over the course of four years

In its racial categorisation, Nazism viewed what it called the Aryan race as the master race of the world—a race that was superior to all other races.[175] It viewed Aryans as being in racial conflict with a mixed race people, the Jews, whom the Nazis identified as a dangerous enemy of the Aryans. It also viewed a number of other peoples as dangerous to the well-being of the Aryan race. In order to preserve the perceived racial purity of the Aryan race, a set of race laws was introduced in 1935 which came to be known as the Nuremberg Laws. At first these laws only prevented sexual relations and marriages between Germans and Jews, but they were later extended to the "Gypsies, Negroes, and their bastard offspring", who were described by the Nazis as people of "alien blood".[176][177] Such relations between Aryans (cf. Aryan certificate) and non-Aryans were now punishable under the race laws as Rassenschande or "race defilement".[176] After the war began, the race defilement law was extended to include all foreigners (non-Germans).[178] At the bottom of the racial scale of non-Aryans were Jews, Romanis, Slavs[179] and blacks.[180] To maintain the "purity and strength" of the Aryan race, the Nazis eventually sought to exterminate Jews, Romani, Slavs and the physically and mentally disabled.[179][181] Other groups deemed "degenerate" and "asocial" who were not targeted for extermination, but were subjected to exclusionary treatment by the Nazi state, included homosexuals, blacks, Jehovah's Witnesses and political opponents.[181] One of Hitler's ambitions at the start of the war was to exterminate, expel or enslave most or all Slavs from Central and Eastern Europe in order to acquire living space for German settlers.[182]

and back we go

how else would they put on the sham act of elections here in the United States?

Democrats are for the people and always fight on their side but the evil Republican villains blocked all their attempts to help

one side has to be "good" and the other "bad" otherwise the very thin veil of fog would lift and reveal the citizens are standing on one side of the gorge with the politicians of both sides on the other with the check writers pulling the strings

not caving but just part of the plan

look like the good party but in actuality just wolves in sheep's clothing

same thing we got now

no women's rights, mass deportations, ramping up fracking/gas production in the US, no raising the minimum wage, overfunded group of jackboots, no universal healthcare, high inflation especially on food/housing

citizens are only here to slave for the elite and have been since the start because to participate in this "democracy" you need a membership at the country club and that is way too high for citizens to be able to play

Biden and the Democrats are paid off too to act like they are in opposition to keep up this charade and sow division among the citizens

neither party is funded by the citizens and both parties are being funded by elites

of course not the blue states have to word their suppression laws differently

if both parties appeared to be the same then they could not continue this charade we call US elections

both parties are bought and paid for by the same oligarchs but if they acted like they were for the same thing then citizens would catch on even with an underfunded education system and we have to keep the bread and circuses going for as long as possible

A high number of arrests by the agency means that more abuses are to be expected, and that legal immigrants and U.S. citizens are likely to get caught up in the dragnet.

this includes everyone getting caught up in the dragnet of blanket border security and it yes it did happen the last Trump presidency and neither party has done anything about it but make it worse and bow to their check writers

open border policies, more education funding, universal healthcare, and other such policies do not make a good fascist society

Roe v. Wade fell on Biden's watch btw

get the fuck out of here with this horseshit

both parties Democrats and Republicans both use voter suppression based on what their check writers want

for example there is bipartisan efforts to keep United States citizens locked up for a list of nonviolent offences such as Bidens tough crime bills and now immigrants and women are on the list too

the education system is also used to suppress votes - no democracy without a properly funded education system

bipartisan effort to keep the minimum wage at $7.25 is another way to suppress votes - tired, overworked people do not vote with an informed healthy mind thus subverting democracy more

state of healthcare is another way voters are suppressed - health people would not vote for the current state of things

the politicians' check writers also suppress by controlling the media that is consumed along with the entirety of culture deleting content as needed to keep us in line

and the list goes on we need to throw both parties out and start fresh

The Comstock Act of 1873 is a series of current provisions in Federal law that generally criminalize the involvement of the United States Postal Service, its officers, or a common carrier in conveying obscene matter,[1] crime-inciting matter, or certain abortion-related matter.[2] The Comstock Act is largely codified across title 18 of the United States Code and was enacted beginning in 1872 with the attachment of a rider to the Post Office Consolidation Act of 1872.[3] Amended multiple times since initial enactment, most recently in 1996,[4] the Act is nonetheless often associated with U.S. Postal Inspector and anti-vice activist Anthony Comstock.[5]

The law was applied broadly for much of its history, before the scope of enforcement narrowed after various court rulings, and modern enforcement is primarily focused on prosecuting child pornography (with the most recent conviction under the Act being made in 2021).[6][7] In spite of its contentious nature, something that has throughout the years spawned a variety of legal challenges on enumerated powers doctrine, vagueness doctrine, First Amendment grounds, etc., the Comstock Act has thus far been widely upheld as constitutional.[note 1]

goes beyond health to include everyone in the United States to be suspect of something and subject to correcting by the jackboots

Democrats and Republicans both have supported such laws and policies to bring us into the United States of today

when did we have public health to start with?

But wait, there’s more: federal health agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and the National Institutes for Health, have been ordered to pause all external communications, including health advisories and scientific reports

never used science to begin but instead cash to buy the government agencies even before Trump

voters hear this horseshit all the time but Democrats never have anything to show at the end of the day but excuses about how it is all the Republicans fault

Democrats want to suddenly act like this is important

so the same as the last four years of restrictive border policies and no progress?

2,500 people is still not enough to undo to the damage done by a lifetime of being a pro police corporate puppet like the rest of the politicians

Justice delayed is justice denied fuck you Biden

"Perhaps it is easy for those who have never felt the stinging darts of segregation to say, 'Wait.'"[18]
