Do any of them know what the word "liberal" actually means?

Democrats tried to fix all those things but were blocked by Republicans in Congress and on the Supreme Court. And that is Democrats fault somehow? Give us more numbers, we'll get you more results.

I vote D because I have no other valid choice. When Obama was in the president seat, he had both houses of congress and only managed to get the aca. Don't get me wrong, telling insurance they have to cover preexisting conditions is a good thing, but only by the standard that we are required to use insurance anyways. We need single payer.

Don't misquote me. I don't think D and R are the same thing. I know that I suffer less under D leadership than R, however, things only actually ever seem to move further right. For example, why are we throwing college kids in jail for stating the obvious: that supporting the massacre of civilians is heinous? I think that D and R are playing the same game, Power, and the little people who aren't rich are the ones paying their dues.

BUT

I think that D and R are playing the same game

Suuuuure.

For example, why are we throwing college kids in jail for stating the obvious

That's not moving right. The US has always done this. You're just too young and/or uninformed to know about the countless time this has happened throughout history.

I like how the fact that "this has happened before" is somehow a valid excuse for it to happen now. Dismiss me if you like but you still aren't offering any actual rebuttal.

Since the 80s, and Reagan bot major parties have facilitated the transfer of wealth away from the middle class and to the rich specifically.

I don't need to call that out because it's been there for everyone to see for 40 fucking years. What the actual fuck are you on about.

Rebuttal above.
