All the blue team cares about is the mean thing someone said the other day. All the red team cares about is guns and abortion.
So.. in a way... everything's working as intended, as depressing as it is to consider that thought.

Tribalistic nonsense. I assume you're referring to the Democratic party?
Wondering where you're getting that stereotype from? Do you think believing it's a problem that trans people exist is just, "saying a mean thing"?
"Both sides"-ism aside, if you're gonna do it, you should at least be honest about the things each side are currently focused on and what their platform is...
The equivocation goes away pretty quickly when we're honest to ourselves about the differences between parties. Usually that's intentional, and the entire point is to minimize the absolutely insane fascist, anti-democracy priorities of current American conservatives. I understand that, but...
Ever stop for a moment to think that maybe, if you're that embarrassed about the things the party you identify with are saying/doing, that you can't even be honest to yourself about the levels of insanity they're reaching, then maybe it's time to take a step back and think about what you're so vocally supporting.
Bla bla bla, people exist that don't like either party. Get over it.
Both sides!
No. Not both sides. One side will still change in response to voting. Slowly but it does happen. The other specifically tried to overturn the election on Jan 6th.
You're partially right. What you need is 2-3 more sides.
I absolutely agree. And with political positions tied to land and first past the post voting it's a dream. The best we can have with the current setup is factions inside the party.
Spouting bumper sticker slogans doesn't change facts.
When it comes to the minimum wage you are both the same.
Major nitpick - there is WAY too much, like orders of magnitude more than ever was on reddit, assuming the position of a commenter. "You" instead of "they" - you are literally forcing your assumption on to the other person. Quite often it is accurate, but quite often it is NOT accurate, and intentionally or not it comes off as picking a fight.
I'm not assuming anything here. This person is making their position abundantly clear. They are Democratic partisan ideologue.
I could have probably picked a better example than your comment, to be fair. I've just had way too many people assume my perspective on here. Had one person who made a confusing comment, and their perspective was not at all clear - after two folks asked for clarification, they had a meltdown, started shouting "FASCISTS SHALL HAVE NO VICTORY HERE," calling everyone white, Nazis, fascists, and telling them to go into a bunker to kill themselves like Hitler. When all that people wanted was to understand the person's confusing comment. That's an extreme form of assumption but milder instances happen all of the fucking time. I don't know why it is so worse here than reddit was (maybe selective memory and its the same, I don't know).
Bullshit, one side has members that have consistently fought for increasing the minimum wage, one side hasn't, in addition to attempting a fucking coup. Put that on your bumper sticker.
False.
Obama had a supermajority for six months of his presidency. Dems have had the presidency with congressional control twice since 2008.
All we've gotten for it is more expensive health care and more money for war.
Nothing you've said applies to anything I said, but nice try. Anyway, cool, go vote (R) then, they're much better for the working class.
It would seem that way if you didn't understand it.
I'm not a Republican. I'm a Green Party supporter. One can't look at the last 40 years of American governance without concluding that both major parties are complete shit, and that's especially true on the issue of the minimum wage.
Ah, the Russian-funded Green Party, enough said! I understand you and your ilk's nonsense "arguments" perfectly. One side has proponents of increasing (and has accomplished it in many states), and one side fights it (and everything else that might help) tooth and nail, period.
Not another one... get lost.
Another what? I'm good here, get......... yeah nm.
