“When someone says both sides, its obvious they have not been watching the actions of the political parties. Lets look how they vote.” - /u/armored_cat
Really annoys me when I read apathetic people saying that Dems and Reps are the same. Yes, there’s a lot of crony corpos in the Dems side but they are in no way even close to the same. There’s a lot of stuff the Dems have done that I’m not a fan of, but are still not even close to being the same as Reps.
This is a great comment that outlines the stark differences on voting records that I archived so it wasn’t lost.
They are not the same, make sure you vote to keep the fascists out. Also vote in the primaries so we can get more progressive/populist representatives as candidates. Voting is not the only answer to salvage the future but it’s definitely a part of the answer.
Your arguments have nothing to do with my comment and distract from the point. There is nothing similar between lacking the need to eat or being abused with a nail and the fact that consistent and fair political ideas must be rational in nature. I didn’t claim that emotions are not relevant.
Emotions represent beliefs which, if they match what ia metaphysically true, will ve logical. Emotions that conflict with facts represent miscalculations. The point is that, since ethics can be based off of logic from starting principles about humans and the universe, it should be followed as such instead of being tugges in any given direction by populism.
At any rate, you’re right that others don’t support the idea.
