Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

@BlitztheDragon
Can we simply admit that US healthcare and gun laws are BOTH absolute shit when compared to other industrialized countries? While we’re at it, virtually EVERY single aspect of US society and culture is inferior to them as well.

@Mikey
I’m wholly with you regarding FOX, but why CNN? They are still leaps and bounds more respectable than what FOX has to offer.

@IWTCIEM
CNN isn’t anymore reputable than Fox, or any other MSM outlet. I don’t trust any of them, right or left wing, they’re all biased in some way.

True and based

Gas prices are absurd right now. So the Democrats proposed a legislation that would combat it.

The right is also calling out tucker

@Dustcan
This is why we can’t have nice things.

@YourPalContrail
Some also called out Trump, but still promoted him and voted for him afterwards.

@Dustcan

@Mikey
CNN isn’t the one who’s pushing baseless conspiracy theories. And their outrages are justified responses to right-wing corruption and violence. Besides, if you don’t trust any major outlets, then who exactly do you trust?

@IWTCIEM
CNN still isn’t reputable. And independent news outlets.

So basically Republicans just want every Americans to suffer.

@Mikey
How exactly is CNN not reputable? They have been calling out all the corruption of Republicans and standing with progressive causes.

@Mikey
I mean, they’re not wrong. CNN is still miles better than Fox News.

At least they aren’t peddling BS conspiracy theories about “MuH wHiTe GeNoCiDe.”

@Penguin Dragneel
Don’t they support CRT?

@IWTCIEM
I don’t trust either side, both parties in this country are corrupt and I wish we’d get more independent people in office. Democrats and Reps are both insanely corrupt.

@Mikey
Yeah, I hate to say it, but the Democrats are shit too. While not nearly as vile and genocidal as the Republicans, they’re bad for different reasons. One of them told me I was faking my Asperger’s then blocked me, which was flat-out ableism. Not to mention most of them are too chickenshit to effectively counter the Republican menace when they’ve been given so many chances to, so in a way they’re allowing the suffering inflicted by their rivals to persist. And let’s face it: most Democrats aren’t even left of center. In fact, they’d be pretty right-wing when compared to the liberals of other developed countries. All of that sucks shit, but in a twisted sort of way, the Democrats are a necessary evil, similar to how Stalin was necessary in defeating Hitler and his Nazis.

@IWTCIEM
Exactly. I personally consider myself left of center with mostly progressive views.

…

What?

@Penguin Dragneel
Critical Race Theory.

@Mikey
I knew what you were talking about.

It’s just… Seriously? We’re really going THERE?

Critical Race Theory was just the boogeyman Republicans, Fox, etc.,came up with for the first quart of the year whenever teachers tried talking about moments in history when America was being racist, which isn’t Critical Race Theory. A lot of the people who pushed against it like Ted Cruz actually admitted they didn’t even know what it actually was. Or that it it was always a law course you’d only get in graduate school and not Kindergarten. Notice how any discussion about CRT pretty much disappeared the moment Republican governments decided to go after LGBT people

yes. it’s anti-liberal garbage.

I mean I still think it’s trash. I’ll still talk to anyone that will listen.

@Penguin Dragneel
I thought it was about the notion that white people are naturally racist or something.

@Mikey
CRT is about racial bias in law and legal institutions(addressing institutional racism for example). Like how the judiciary system punish blacks and other minorities more harshly compared to whites

@Kiryu-Chan
Ah.

no but Kimberly Crenshaw says that it’s critical of a colorblind society and in the delgado book “Critical race theory: an introduction” it does mention its Critical of the liberal order and “Critical of the notion of individual rights”

@Mikey
It isn’t. Like what Kiryu said, it’s the study of possible racial bias within law and legal institutions. And contrary to popular Republican opinion, it is NOT something that kids learn in school.
