@BearWithMe78 @dye_sin @RossKneeDeep The platform of BOTH parties are curently formed by their billionaire donors. You really think democrats abide by wishes of their constituents?

@BearWithMe78 @RossKneeDeep You're arguing as if the party's name settled the question. It doesn't. That's... not how political philosophy works.

[Garboo @GarbooHQ]

@BearWithMe78 @RossKneeDeep The Republican Party being founded to oppose slavery doesn't magically make "Republican" synonymous with "liberal," just like calling yourself "Republican" doesn't make you an expert on republicanism.

[Garboo @GarbooHQ]

@BearWithMe78 @RossKneeDeep It's fascinating that you can list a party's name and platform without realizing that political parties and political philosophies are different concepts.

[Garboo @GarbooHQ]

@BearWithMe78 @RossKneeDeep This may blow your mind. But liberalism isn't the antithesis of conservatism. Take a second and process what that means. You're treating a party label like it's a personality test, when American political parties have always contained competing ideological factions.

[Garboo @GarbooHQ]

@BearWithMe78 @RossKneeDeep The New Deal coalition was ideologically diverse. FDR could push liberal economic policies while the south remained deeply conservative on race, social issues, and states' rights. Ideologies are not monolithic.

[Garboo @GarbooHQ]

@BearWithMe78 @RossKneeDeep The fact that they had a "D" next to their name doesn't make them ideologically liberal. FDR dems in the south voted dem bc FDR dems brought them subsidies and safety nets, then left them behind becoming the performative do nothing party after Jimmy Carter.

[Garboo @GarbooHQ]

@BearWithMe78 @RossKneeDeep Hey! So the south has been historically conservative. The conservative democrats lead the party in 1860s. Democrats being conservative back then may mean mothing to you, but that statement is correct regardless

@patrickbetdavid Guys, he said he was a nunbers guy, not the right numbers

The most reliable metric used to measure real inflation, the footlong index.

Subway's "footlongs under $10 each" are only under $10 if you don't order the footlong...

@TaritaC @KingBearcrusher Odd criticism from someone defending the party leadership that's bankrolled by wealthy donors and corporate interests.

[Garboo @GarbooHQ]

@TaritaC It's remarkable how the blame is always directed at those demanding Democrats actually stand for something instead of the Democrats who alienated their own base. But go off on the people who have foughy the hardest for workers, LGBTQ rights, reproductive rights & civil rights.

@herschellambert 21% of American adults can't read above a sixth grade level.

@KLH81690118 @amuse Weird how 'close election + certification timeline' magically turns into 'rigged voting machines' in your head.

[Garboo @GarbooHQ]

@CorporateH32589 @KyleKulinski The GOP cries "antisemitism" any time someone criticizes Israel. Yall dont hesitate to deploy woke identity politics despite pretending to oppose "cancel culture" 🙄

[Garboo @GarbooHQ]

@fearnewsnow @hecubian_devil A bit ironic for u to rep the flag of a country with more socialist policies than what Melat ran on.

[Garboo @GarbooHQ]

@Kimifinster7 Yall are insufferable

@OriginalRoddick @JennDinKC Wow, it's almost like these loans are handed out to TEENAGERS. Famously known for their financial literacy 💀

@SireRottweiler People who don't support a genocidal apartheid state that indiscriminately deploys white phosphorus on civilians?
