Just to be clear, the Far Left and the Far Right wings of parliament in America are equally retarded as one another. Just for different reasons.
You lot are so fucking polarised, you don't even see your internal self-destruction slowly growing (your next civil war is only around the corner, mark my words).
If you had some common sense and civility to one another, and worked through arguments and came to agreements, you would not be this retarded as a country. You might actually stop voting decrepit old cunts in too.
All countries have left and right, but you are on another level. Here, we have labour/liberal but the are only just over the centerline. They often agree on certain aspects. But when they don't it is debated out and decided. Sometimes they ask the populous to vote, in case of stalemate or major disagreement.
We the people own the government, not the other way around. But you, America, have forgotten that, and you your "vote if you want" attitude has you under the thumb. Same with [lets be honest, fucking bribes] masked as donations. How you are not in the bottom quarter of the most corrupt countries list has me baffled.
The labour party is literally further left than the American Left Wing of Congress lol.
That might have been true under Corbyn, but definitely not now that Keir "I desperately want to be Tony Blair" Starmer has taken over and remade the party in his center right to right wing image.
There is not a single far left politician in Congress.
True.
You have vastly overestimated your understanding of American politics.
From which country are you? What far left would there be on the US? The Democrats are ranging from center left to right-wing, from an EU view.
Saying both sides when there is one side prohibiting books about LGBTQ people, wanting to not allow trans people existing and trying to turn over democracy and the other one… wanting health care, is just utter bullshit.
LGTV is retarded. 99% of the earths population does not agree due to SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE,, Regardless off all the noise you make - no one with half a brain will care. so FUCK OFF.
Lmao. 10% are queer, get over it. Scientific evidence shows that gay animals exist in most species; for trans people look at other comments, it's not worth my time typing that again.
The only one making dumb noises here is you (even literally: Just look at your sentences and your aggression, looks like you missed out on evolution).
If you can't make your point without being an ableist ass, maybe don't bother making it at all (in this case, you've not only shown yourself off as an ableist, but as one who has zero understanding of US politics, too, so you've really contributed nothing of any value, and have just made the community more hostile, great job)
Just to be clear, the Far Left and the Far Right wings of parliament in America are equally retarded as one another. Just for different reasons.
Debunked horseshoe theory bullshit. There's no "far left" in the American "parliament" (it's called the Congress. At least try learning the terms before you start spouting your bullshit).
Besides, even if we DID accept your premise of European style Social Democrats being "far left", wanting people to have healthcare and a living wage isn't equivalent to fucking FASCISM in any way.
Also, no ableist slurs, please.
Here, we have labour/liberal but the are only just over the centerline
Keir "I desperately want to be Tony Blair" Starmer's Labour isn't left of center. It's center-right at best.
We the people own the government, not the other way around
Says a guy from the kingdom whose royal family is the number one land owner in the world and has had 3 different Tory PMs since the last election.
Same with [lets be honest, fucking bribes] masked as donations. How you are not in the bottom quarter of the most corrupt countries list has me baffled.
Right on the money (pun intended) with this, though.
You are absolutely correct. And just to prove your point, some American is definitely going to accuse you of being right-wing (since most of lemmy is left) for pointing that out.
There are plenty of good arguments in all the comments reacting to the comment and factually arguing why it's just wrong. And I don't even care about their political orientation (as if their blatant homophobic hadn't given it away), but it doesn't change whether the statement is right or wrong.
My point was just that your comment was essentially a shield against any disagreeing arguments (that you could say "I told you so" and not need to actually engage with the arguments) but didn't even provide any arguments on its own.
