i agree with the rhetorical goals of this meme, but it does its job poorly.

some better options:

  • the right yawns when kids get shot

  • the left seeks to put in place bare minimum common sense gun laws

  • the left wants healthcare to be a human right

  • the right wants healthcare to be privatized for the benefit of investors

  • the right wants trans people, an incredibly small fraction of the population, to be harassed, abused, and murdered

  • the left doesn’t want that

  • the right is actively looking to get a national ban on abortion

  • the left supports a woman’s bodily autonomy, and recognizes that abortion can also be a life saving procedure but that such decisions should remain between a pregnant person and their doctor

and one very important and fucking atrocity of a similarity between the parties that will be used as a “gotcha” to “prove” all of the left/progressives are a poisoned well:

  • Republicans are Zionists and support an active genocide
  • Democrats are Zionists and support an active genocide

"Oh, you can see a well defined difference between the only two parties with a chance at winning an election in the US? I guess youre actually a Lib TM bc theres absolutely no way, none at all, that you might be anything left of center."

Also, you missed,

The left wants to fund the Ukranians fighting their sovereignty,

The right wants vlad the dictator to steamroll eastern europe bc daddy dump says hes big and strong unlike the clearly gencocidal nazi Volodomyr "no, i wont give u dirt on ur political opponents just for protecting my people, you imbecile" Zelenskyy.

"President Biden told the Israeli leader that airstrikes that killed aid workers were “unacceptable” and appeared to condition future support on how Israel changes course." https://archive.ph/t5tIi

these are true but facts picked in bad faith. biden has also said “I am a Zionist” and has shown no restraint in financially supporting the apartheid regime.

Yes, there is nuance and separation to the hows and the degrees of the Zionism and supprt for genocide. But neither side is anything less than culpable.

Did Biden to tell them to "cut it out"?

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world -1 points 7 months ago

Oh and he punished them by stopping the military aid right?

No?

So it's just political theater then.
