Conspiracy forums are filled with this behavior. Are both sides generally corrupt? Well, duh. Is the two-party system a false dichotomy? Undoubtedly.
It used to go the other way when "Republicans" were "in power" but now it's being used to deflect from Democrat corruption. If you point out the tyranny of Democrat politicians right now, you will often be swarmed with these bots/shills screaming about "muh two party" corruption etc. Nevermind it's the Democrats who are literally acting like fascists.
Just an observation. I know an astroturfed response when I see it.
But that's literally what happens.
The democrats be fascist. And the Republicans say ok yes, but legally.
Also they both hate you on every day except election day.
No, pointing out that neither party is good is way better than saying 'democrats are fascists.'
You don't want to promote an XY problem. We want to inspire people to start down paths with actually have a chance at improving things.
Axo, you've been around long enough to see that when one party is in power they push the agenda in one direction as far as they can, until the other party takes over for and they push the agenda on the other front.
They use this reactionary swing of overcorrection to push agendas which scale over the decades well beyond either party's majority position.
This is one of the dumbest things I've seen you post.
Normally I would agree with everything you say here, but we live in extraordinary times, when ONE political party is forcing a literal kill shot on the population.
That's what I'm referring to. This is FAR bigger and more important right now than the typical 2 party pendulum.
Thanks for elaborating on your thoughts.
both sides are corrupt, yes. but ill live in a conservative ruled country over a leftist "woke" democrat mafia ran one...
soo..yeah
Quality content.
I would add that another closely related shill behavior to this "both sides are corrupt" tactic is to use the "but Dems/GOP were in charge when the federal government did X, so they are just as guilty" tactic.
The federal bureaucracy is a lumbering leviathan, and if you think that the occasional switch of party control of one or both houses of Congress, or even the Executive Branch, changes things down at the deckplate level, well, you have a primitive understanding of how organizations work. The president says something, but often, nothing gets done if they bureaucrats don't want it done.
Congress only has control over the bureaucracy when they cut their funding. They can hold hearing after hearing and rant for the TV cameras (for example) at the IRS agents who should be in prison for going after Tea Party groups, but until they cut the funding or the IRS, they didn't really care much.
