Old 'conservative' fucks?
LOL left always feel the need to blame right whenever they can.
The "left"?
LOL republicunts always feel the need to blame the left whenever they can.
The guy above definitely could have left the politics out of that comment, since there's nothing more bipartisan than rich people fucking the working class.
Well deserved. The current govt is the representation of the people. Far left fucking far left. Sounds about it is time to go right.
You think Biden is "Far left"??? Laughs in European...
I mean this in the friendliest, most non-confrontational way; It sounds as though you've been fed quite a bit of misinformation, Biden is most definitely not Far Left. If you'd like me to elaborate I am willing.
I'm not the OP, but I know exactly what you're saying. To elaborate a slight bit on what you've said here: most of what we call "the left" is actually fairly centerist; it's left-leaning at most. The far left is far more authoritarian than anything. To see authoritarianism in action, look no further than your current employer - they're all the same. Politically, they're typically very far right leaning, but when they're put in a position of control, they tend to lean hard into authoritarianism.
The US isn't anywhere near far left. We have a center right party and a far right party. Look at healthcare. The left wing position is single payer. The centrist position is an insurance market with a public option to keep prices competitive. The right wing position is no public option and an oligopoly to price gouge people. Even the centrist option is considered too far left for Dems.
Why don't you go right the fuck away then.
Oh no, freedom of speech. You have no right to tell me to fuck away, left.
Yes they do, that's freedom of speech ole chum. And you're free to ignore them. You're free to say what you want but you're not free of the consequences of your speech; if one of those consequences is that people think you're a bumbum living a bumbum life, and treat you accordingly, well that's just life I'm afraid.
You seem very fixated on left vs right. What do you want from life? A fair go, right? You want to be paid fairly for the work you do, and have the opportunity to rent or buy housing that doesn't leave you with no disposable income? You want to be treated with respect?
Many of us whether on the left or the right want exactly the same thing. Many on the right have been gaslit into thinking a) they don't want the above b) the 'left' are their enemy. We're all just people, and most of us want the same things, when you dig down. Respect, fair pay, housing that doesn't leave us destitute. It shouldn't be a big ask imo.
There's an XKCD for everything
Always loved the alt text on that one:
Oh to be expected. Lose an argument? Reply with random fucking meme.
Left oh left.
That's.. not what is happening here.
He's a Maga-tard. They have no idea what's going on at any point in time.
This isn't a random meme, we're trying to send you a message here...
I don't think you're getting it
