Far right: “while we’re at it we’re going to cut taxes for the ultra rich and corporations, and raise taxes on everyone else. Trickle down economics hasn’t failed as a model, it just needs 75 years to start trickling. And we’re gonna make it harder for people to vote and harder for people to trust elections because that’s our only chance of winning with a garbage platform that does nothing to benefit 90% of you.”
Average republican voter: DURR SOUNDS GOOD TO ME, JUS MAKE SUR U WAVE TH’MURKIN FLAG AND CALL THEM LIBRALS FAGS WHILE YER AT IT
I'm a centrist who hates extremists on both sides. I'm also not a transphobe like this comic would lead you to believe.
I usually end up voting democrat because the republicans are more extremist, but democrats definitely aren't solely about getting everyone's needs met. I've seen democrats want to smash unions, leverage insider trading solely for their own benefit, and introduce draconian drug laws.
This bad tweet creates a straw man out of every group. It's a great example of why everyone should look at issues individually and not play politics like it's some stupid sports game where your team is always right and the other team is always wrong. This style of thinking is why Republicans vote down every Democratic idea simply because "they're on the other team". It's a really low IQ take.
That's not centrists
Im starting to think it was a mistake comming to lemmy thinking there was gonna be a decent discucion, the tankies where probably a sign of it i guess, theres no way most of them arent edgy tenagers or ccp shills, the same goes for you guys that defend political parties (diference being democrat and republican shills). They dont have your best interests in mind and whant you figthing over their bs culture wars so that you dont pay attention to the real corrupt shit that benefits no one but themselves and their rich friends.
And no, there isnt a middle point between genocide and not genocide and you know that that isnt what is being argued by people that disagree with you (at least not in good faith admidetly). This feels more like lashing out against anyone that disagrees with your viewpoints, no matter if they are the other team or not even playing in any of them, or maybe its an attempt to group anyone that disagrees with some of your viewpoints (or at least those that are percieved as absolute truth by the "left" that other people question in good faith) into the other team that you dont like so that you justify lashing out aginst them.
I dont like that, username checks out.
Litterary the same thing
Ok, everybody. Let's take a deep breath, calm down a little, and talk about how almost all kiddie fuckers are white male heterosexual youth pastors or sports coaches.
That's the far left as defined by the far right. The actual far left likes to pretend that Stalin did nothing wrong and that nothing happened in Tienanmen Square.
Far left: we're gonna exterminate everyone who's not us.
FIFY
Far left: „Capital is the root of evil. Follow me, I know the true way!”
Far right: „Capital is the root of all prosperity. Follow me, I know the true way!”
People that care to learn from mistakes of others: „Yeah no, we learned the price of following those claiming to know the true way. Over and over again.”
I know I'm gonna get downvoted into oblivion but i will say the truth anyway.
What far left say: "we are gonna get everyone's basic needs met"
What far left realy mean: "we are gonna exterminate entire social groups because of their opinions and/or believes"
Far right: we are gonna exterminate entire social groups because they are impure
centrist: could both of you please fuck off?
That's pretty american view point. how about:
Leftest: friends with Pootin and WinniePooh, anti nuclear, anti European Union Left: lesser friend with Pootin, anti nuclear, fine with EU Center: not friend with dictatorships, pro EU, pro nuclear Righter: friends with Pootin, anti EU Nazi : anti EU, friends with Pootin, amd well, nazi
