    Stand against genocide by compromising on genocide! Trust me bro, you don’t understand politics like I do.

    When will Dems give up this elitist gas lighting. It’s starting to get embarrassing.

      Normally anybody who says “you’ve only got two choices” is an idiot.

      Or, they could be describing a democracy crippled by first past the post:

      Watch the video, it’s six minutes, fun, informative, and changes things. It’s so central that without this video’s info as the centerpiece of the discussion, the discussion really is not happening. We need ranked choice to get third parties.

      The phrase “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” was coined to mock the sort asanine bullshit that grifters spouted, and eventually those same grifters started to use it unironically and without any self-awareness.

      Interesting to see “trust me bro” get the same treatment.

        Are the Trump supporters in the room with us now? Is the entire UN assembly grifters. Liberals are so disgusting, children are being slaughtered an masse by my tax dollars but all you care about is how Trump will make you personally uncomfortable

          No, I care that Trump will make more of my tax dollars go into the children slaughtering enterprise.

          You’re the one arguing about not doing something because it makes you uncomfortable, not anyone else here.
