You're viewing a single thread.
Sure would be nice to have a functional, sane, and reality based conservative party in the US, not this circus sideshow they call the Republican party.
The Democratic Party is the Conservative Party. Republicans are far right of that.
Yes, we have a conservative party and a fascist party.
It's a fascist party vs. a big tent "everyone else" party. That's how the #GOP works in lock(goose)step & the Democrats constantly have to deal with pandering, grasping assholes like Manchin & Sinema.
The Democrats aren't a "big tent" party they're a "vote for us or you get the fascists" party.
What purpose does this statement serve aside from venting your frustration and leftist infighting
If you think that leftists disliking Democrats is "leftist infighting" you have a fox news brain definition of what a leftist is.
God just listen to yourself. I never said the democrats were leftists. I said this subject prompts leftist infighting. Use your brain.
Sorry, I assumed you were trying to say something that made any sense at all. Your objection is even dumber than I thought if you think the Democrats' only selling point being that they're not the Republicans is even a remotely controversial point on the left.
I disagree, there’s a pretty big swath between the polar opposites of the party for democrats in the US. They are both capitalists, yes; but not conservative.
Perhaps more accurate would be a pro democracy party and a pro authoritarianism party.
You know, I was thinking the same thing. Like sure, I'm not for Republicans, but if they could at least get someone who actually cares about what it means at the core to be a Republican and work for the people and want small Gov, then sure. But here we are yet again, they continue to be an embarrassment. That party is a joke and has been for some time now
Your problem is assuming this
someone who actually cares about what it means at the core to be a Republican
and this
work for the people and want small Gov
are synonymous.
Republicans exemplify conservatism. They want to go back to subjugating women and minorities, killing gays, and maintaining power with a ruling class. You know, tradition.
What's funny is that the Democrats would be a very right-wing party in almost any other established democracy. Republicans would basically be the fascist party everywhere else (well America too, I guess).
You have that. The Conservative party in the USA is the Democrats. The fascist party is the Republicans.
If you were functional, sane, and based in reality then you wouldn't have any conservative beliefs. It's a political ideology by and for idiots and zealots.
The DNC just got the sitting President of the United States to not file to put his name on the New Hampshire primary ballot, immediately after sending 50 billion dollars to fund the genocide of Palestine.
I dont disagree with you, but I think you should stop using words like "Republican" and "Democrat" and just speak in terms of "The Party", because they are all the same damn organization and all of them are astoundingly stupid and incompetent
I call them the Corporate Party, because that's who they serve
Ooh. I like it.
Definitely been at least as much since the supermajority in congress DIDNT go after Citizens United.
