@starlalilymoon:
From what I know some Democratic cities cut costs to police and now crime is a bit higher in those areas.
So nothing from people in charge of the party? Also if we are to take "defund the police" as just that, defunding, the GOP has been the only party that has been putting pressure to stop/halt the Dems…. police budget boosting via things like the the American Rescue Plan which the GOP were all against. For awful garbage filled reasons. So once again, the GOP takes awful positions.
I would suggest looking at both sides.
Okay. The Dems are better and the GOP wants you and I dead.
Democrats want to ban some type of guns. I don't want any guns banned. Just make it harder to get them.
No reason people should have assault weapons.
I also am reevaluating the idea of a 15$ minimum wage and how it might affect small businesses. Like I want a living wage, but I don't want businesses to disappear because they can't afford to pay their wages. That's not a garbage viewpoint either.
This is going on a lot of assumptions.
1. This is giving faith that's why the GOP are against it. They are anti-worker and anti-non-rich people.
2. If they cared about small businesses they would not have killed over half a million Americans while also letting the mom and pop businesses die just as brutally during this pandemic.
There should be scale based things on certain states and such when it comes to the minwage. Hillary brought up some good ideas about that but instead this country went GOP and we suffered. As we always do when they win.
Hence why I look at both sides and try to look at the big picture instead of being ignorant and hate the other side.
This does nothing but give cover to evil people if you can't get that the big picture says the GOP are heartless, stupid and monsters. Not to mention losers who bring nothing to the table. Lead, follow or get out of the way. And they do none of these things well.
but Democrats are not the bright rainbow you think they are.
They at least by large don't want you or I dead.
I'm also against raising taxes for the rich
Every Democratic President has done this for the last century and has only lead to good things. Republicans get in, change course and the country is in total economic destruction. Every single fucking time. Because they only care about the rich. Big reason they have lost middle class support over the years.
Both sides have good and bad points, and it is not one side is good and one side is bad.
It really is as simple as Democrats are the good guys and the GOP are the bad guys.
I mean I used to be like you thinking Republicans were evil, but I learned that was false, and they do have some valid viewpoints.
They want black people to be slaves again. They are garbage. There is no point in defending them when all their view points go back to being greedy and bigots.
They have no honor or kindness, they have no path they want us to take. no plans to counter the Dem plans and they are Fascists. There is no way to give equal weight to Liberals vs Fascists. To say otherwise is living in a fantasy land.
