They claim the want a stronger social safety net for their citizens - in reality that’s impossible when they bring in millions of illegals who eat up most of those resources
So are you saying that we couldn't use all the aid that is sent to countries across the world such as Israel or some of the funds used for "defense" to strengthen the social safety net?
They claim they’re against the filthy rich - in reality they defend big corporations, big pharma, Disney, Hollywood elites, etc
Liberals and Conservatives do this but not the left that I am aware of. I think you are confusing the left for what is really just center right politicians like Obama and Biden where you are for the market and for bureaucracy at the same time as David Graeber described.
They claim they’re for better education - in reality they wanna teach your kids CRT and bring gay porn into libraries
This is a funny statement considering that the right outright has banned books and certain curriculum in some areas and states.
They claim they want livable wage etc - in reality Americans never felt more poor
Wouldn't a livable wage help people feel less poor? I mean there are numerous studies that have been done that openly show that wages are not keeping up with the cost of living. The left wants an actual increase in the minimum wage. The fact that the Federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour while some states are in the double digits is nonsense. Again, I think when people think left they think people like Sinema and Manchin which are not really left at all.
They claim they wanna fix the climate - in reality it means make you even more poor while china and India continue to pollute
What does that mean? I've never quite understood the argument where people are against climate change. Don't we want a country where the air is cleaner, the water is cleaner and we don't necessarily have to rely as much on fossil fuels?
They claim end prison industrial complex - reality, release dangerous repeat violent offenders into the street, but prosecute guys like Daniel Penny who defends you from these criminals
If only it were this simple. Also, being one of the top countries of incarcerated citizens per capita is not something you want to lead in. So are you okay with prisons being for profit? There are studies that show having corps run prisons is not a good idea, not to mention some of the sentences people got years ago for ridiculous offenses. That 3 strikes rule back in the 90's under Clinton, for example, was not the cure all some thought it would be.
Greater investment into mental health and house the “unhoused” lol - reality let junkies camp out in your cities and shoot up fentanyl in front of your kids school
Pretty sure the alternative we have now is not better where states criminalize homelessness because some have nowhere to go.
Separation of church and state - reality shit on Christian values, invent a new religion call it woke gender ideology, yet still somehow defend Islam
I thought in America we could celebrate any religion we want? Christians do just fine on their own shitting on their own religion (i.e. the Prosperity Gospel). Separate church and state is a good thing. Let those who support the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster do so. I'm pretty sure I can find more people who love pasta than who love Christians.
End war on drugs - reality let cartels flood the country with fentanyl
I thought this was debunked in the 90's. The War on Drugs has not worked. It just helps for profit prisons and corporate labor.
More accountability for law enforcement - reality defund the police, call every police interaction with a non white person racism
Or how about this idea? Get rid of Qualified Immunity. If a police officer has done wrong he or she should be held to justice seeing as how said officer is supposed to be held to a higher standard.
Stricter gun laws - reality only government and criminals get to have guns
That's just a hilarious statement.
LGBT rights - reality man in dress can enter your daughters change room and destroy her in female sports
Having rights for about 7% of the population is a good thing considering that they will likely face discrimination. I really don't understand Conservatives hate against the LGBT crew especially drag queens and trannies.
