Both sides have excellent points, yet the truth is surely found somewhere in the middle. /s
And then there is the truth that if nobody is persecuted yet it will also not change by voting the other party. That needs an even greater push than just voting (but still vote!).
One side is ruled by fear and hatred of the unknown, projecting their malignant sexual insecurities on everyone else and forming a literal death cult. The other side just wants healthcare and to like enjoy stuff. Sometimes they’re kinda annoying about it.
Clearly they’re exactly the same 🤷♀️
Both sides fund endless war abroad and are pro global subjugation at the behest of the corporations that run our government let’s not jerk the dems off too hard here
And yet if everyone always voted for the superior party by any clear metric, eventually that metric would become policy for both parties.
Like, the only reason both sides suck so badly is that the American public is so bad at voting for the better party. If the dems won a few times in a row the republicans would realign to suit the new reality, and then maybe they’d have to compete with each other on questions like corporate control and militarism, instead of the shitshow we have now.
Not saying the 2 party system is good (it’s not, it slows down realignment when the parties are out of whack with the public and encourages partisanship), but it’s not the only reason American politics is a mess. Maybe not even the biggest at this point.
I disagree wholeheartedly. Both parties, while not the same, are objectively instruments of capital and serve exclusively to extend the longevity of its hegemony over society and the rest of the world (as the US is the largest global progenitor of imperialism). Any reforms we get are merely a side effect of it being whatever assuages people in society enough to stave off any kind of true revolutionary moment that would fundamentally reverse the polarity of power. The Democratic party has no interest in corporate control or combating militarism because at it’s core these are what drive US power at home and abroad. They may play lip service to these things from time to time. They may slap a fine on a company or prevent a merger here and there but fundamentally they will not work to change the hands of power back to the people where it belongs. The Democratic party has been doing this for decades and decades. It is nothing new. The political climate we are in today is a logical continuation of the work both parties have been engaging in since long before you are I were ever around to comment on it.
Yeah we know pal. Do you feel better now?
Careful, his bot farm isn’t running at capacity anymore, it’s like beating up a child. /s
Well no, what we want is found far left of either of those, because the democrats are never gonna actually prosecute these people and put em against the wall. But small steps i guess?
Nuremberg had a few exectutions, though?
My point is that todays US democrats would never have the guts to do nürnberg style trials. They would rather die in silence before they actually kill a nazi.
Oh, by those you mean parties, not the two folks in the comic.
Some people says the Sun dawns at East; other people say it dawns at West. The truth is certainly somewhere in between.
That just dawned on me.
Kind of, the Dems wouldn’t do that.
This is the weakest argument ever. She lists three crimes against the government while the Republicans commit genocide, and Nuremberging has very little support among Democratic politicians.
Republicans commit genocide?
Reminder that rich kids and parents in sports are the ones taking away opportunities from the other kids. Not trans kids.
It’s good to see more of Jennie’s comics being shared here.
Imagine having a political system where there are only two choices and thinking you live in the land of the free
And now imagine that the vast majority of Americans are too ignorant to believe even that fallacy
I vote Democrat because I have to.
Not a single democratic candidate is discussing anything like a Nuremberg 2.0.
Ryan Crosswell hasn’t used the term Nuremberg, but he definitely has talks about prosecuting corruption and has a lengthy history in dealing with it.
This is not something a conservative would balk at.
Conservatives literally believe that everything is going fine. American capitalism is great it’s just that there’s a few stray branches (like the entire lgbtq community and immigrants for two examples) that we have to snip off and then we’ll finally realize the true American dream.
I don’t know what world you’ve been looking at, but they absolutely balk any time you dare attempt to hold one of them accountable… Just look at how they reacted to the Jan 6 prosecutions, and those weren’t even their Dear Leaders (politicians).
I don’t think they were talking about conservatives balking at being held accountable, which, to be sure, is endemic to their nature; but rather that conservatives don’t balk at the murder, sedition, treason, and insurrection (among countless other atrocities and war crimes they frequently commit) that their side gleefully and happily uses to achieve its own agenda.
Yep. They all drive around town in their $80k lifted rams, suburban nightmare cardboard mcmansions, 4 kids all in sports. All love Donny dump. Theyre all DEEPLY in debt and/or have a shit ton of assistance from their rich parents, but think they did it all on their own. This is my town.
Jacob Geller has a video essay on the Nuremberg Trials. I always figured they’re the gold standard of war criminal trials, but the reality isn’t as clear. It didn’t see any high ranking Nazi officials see justice, it didn’t sway public opinion on the war or fascism, it didn’t prevent genocides from happening again. It did make Allied powers look like the good guys though, even if a few months prior the USA dropped two nuclear bombs on civilian populations indiscriminately killing hundreds of thousands.
FYI Jacob Geller just got cancelled for raping his ex girlfriend in college
Even a broken clock can give the correct hour twice a day.
You’re making a non sequitur and an ad hominem attack: the truth of any proposition doesn’t depends on who or why is it told.
I vote Democrat because it’s slightly less fucked up than the alternative. We are not the same.
Fuckin eh.
It’s not enough but it is a start.
I feel that in my bones Jennie, and I’m not even american.
Maybe because we copy you guys with a few years of delay and getting rid of the AfD sounds sooooo good.
Then there’s the other 90% in the middle.
How was Nuremberg 1 in 2020 I must have missed it.
The actual Nuremberg 1 was mostly pomp and circumstance anyways.
