I don't like memes like this because they are easily dismissed, since the left absolutely has problems, and it's not just "we want healthcare"
However, the truth is, for all the faults the left has, they pale in comparison to the right wing batshittery.
The USA has a left party?
As an outsider I see another problem with most of the US political discussions here. You all say that the republicans are obviously worse, make memes about them to your dudes to laugh at them. Yet half of your country active voters are likely to vote for them, would probably be more if they weren't inherently apolitical.
This whole American political discourse seems more fit for /r/im14andimsmart because it's mostly shitting on your opponents despite the fact that after 12 of the 16 years(the whole generation) of the democrat presidents more people want to vote for the other party.
I find it weird how you guys just laugh and meme at that like it's non issue or just act as those people(hundreds of millions) are just stupid.
Everyone has picked their side and won't hear a damned thing wrong about them since that would make them also wrong and every American is 100% right about things they feel, cause that is what our media makes us feel. And also is inherently needed for a class of wealthy elites to pretend they know or care at all for any other group of people when taking power over them.
It's somewhat wrong to say "more" people want one side or the other since we still actually make it quite hard to vote and the rules on victory is convoluted in allowing unpopular (not majority of votes) victory in a political race.
Granted again there is lots of nuance in all of this and Republicans more sell a vibe than thought out ideas, that is usually based on a feeling of superiority that is not earned.
It's the end of an empire. We haven't been tending to the stalk and the central pillar of what makes us strong so it's coming down and things are just gonna be bad as people on all sides argue they know how to fly.
Moonbats who promised something to an altar of Joe Stalin are a minority of leftists, including radical leftists such as most people here.
The right-wing nutcases are the hegemon. Those who aren't themselves that extreme at the very least enable them, if not passively want the same things.

The comparison is such bad faith I wonder if a conservative threw it out there.
