I wish I could be a liberal, seems so easy to stand for nothing and just hate whatever you’re told to hate

The point was to have compassion for the other basket of Trump Supporters. 

So, being smart — which is what it takes to love Hillary — is actually harder than being a mouth breather who hears the word “deplorable,” is confused about the meaning, and never bothers to figure out what the point even was.

You're funny, that is a funny joke. Cons are a contradiction to what they say and do, simple as that.

u/RollBama420 1d ago

And liberals preach about privilege from the places of highest privilege, what are you trying to prove? Maybe stop mocking where your food comes from

u/navyblahblah 1d ago

Nobody is mocking. We are laughing. Vote for an incompetent reality star with predictable consequences. All MAGA made great again was financial depression. Gonna be the greatest ever.

u/MuckaMucka1337 1d ago

News flash. All politicians are incompetent reality stars with predictable consequences. The fact that idiots like you still argue over right or left proves it

u/navyblahblah 1d ago

Most politicians are very competent. I agree with you about the 2 parties. It’s just a binary dictatorship at best.

u/RollBama420 1d ago

That’s kind of the whole point of my first comment. You didn’t have a candidate, you had someone you were told to point at. That’s why now your obsession is not with what your person would have done better but with what you think is wrong with the current person. Rinse and repeat next election cycle

a lot of it gets imported the rest is grown in fields tended by migrant labor. what is your point?

0

u/RollBama420 1d ago

My point is you are not above the people you think you are simply because you believe you are advocating “for their best interests”

1

u/EngRookie 1d ago

yeah but i was specifically talking about the "stop mocking where your food comes from". most of my food is either imported or grown/tended/picked/process/prepared by immigrants/migrant labor that cons demonize and have been trying to blame all their problems on and deport them. So again what is your point?

u/RollBama420 1d ago

I mean depends on how many contrivances you want to spool up. Your imports are an industry that could only exist in the first place by strong domestic production, and they are still greatly supported by that foundation. These people are also paid below minimum wage, so are you advocating for slave labor?

Or we can back to my original point, without the “i know better than you” persona: the modern liberal would not exist

1

u/EngRookie 1d ago edited 20h ago

banana, chocolate, and coffee imports exist bc of strong domestic production?

migrant labor exists bc that is what cons want. i am pointing out that your pride of being from "where our food comes from" is dependent on slavery with extra steps

Cons preach morality and sanctity off the backs of middle and low class workers. Look at the farmers who voted multiple times for the very person who screwed them over the first time. Who are all about picking yourself up by the bootstraps and now reliant on the government to survive.

I'm not trying to prove a thing, just calling it out as I see it. Cons support a felon who cares more about his name than the American people. Who has disrespected those in the military and have lost their lives multiple times. He has disrespected those in blue. Hell, the plaque which by law should be put up in honor of those who defended the capitol from the insurrection is still not up because republicans choose not to.

Cons stand for nothing, they are walking-talking contradictions. It must be easy living life and not having to worry about hypocrisy in any way.

1

u/RollBama420 1d ago

Your comment is my whole point. You don’t stand for anything other than “someone else should fix this because I think it’s wrong”.

1

u/KazeNilrem 1d ago

What are you even talking about? So I get standing for justice is a bad thing. I guess standing for those in the military is a bad thing. So you don't stand for them from the sounds of things. But yeah, I do stand for a lot. I stand for fiscal responsibility which this government is not doing. I stand for having a system of justice that does not play by two different rules based on being rich or not. I also stand for taking responsibility which is a foreign concept for cons.

Issue running into is on the cons side, they spout all these grandiose views and then simply repeatedly take actions against them. The sheer amount of hypocrisy that goes on is insulting. I mean there was a time cons used to care about freedoms but that has gone out the window. Can't say they support fiscal responsibility, I mean their dear leader alone has added trillions upon trillions and they don't blink an eye.

I didn't realize it was a privilege to not be rounded up, shipped all over the country to avoid getting your day in court, and then dumped in a country that might not even be yours, if not dumped directly into that country's prison system.

That's one interesting definition of the world privilege.

-1

u/RollBama420 1d ago

The privilege is to be as unproductive as you are and still live the lifestyle that you do. Plenty of people working much harder with much less time to complain

1

u/edwbuck 1d ago

Ahem. Unproductive as I am? Hahahahaha.... You know the quote about U.S. Marines?

“Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don't have that problem.”

That's my relationship with work. I know that I wasn't just productive, I made the world a better place in the process too. The accusation you make is so ridiculous, it's not even something to worry about.

If I have the time to complain, it's because I made the time to complain. Someone has to exercise the First Amendment. This president SUCKS.

u/Low-Essay-113 Tea Queen 👑 1d ago

Yeah. Saying even those who can’t afford to make ends meet should be allowed access healthcare without being in debt for the rest of their lives, saying people should not be put in a position of going hungry, or that veterans should be taken care of is such a position of privilege. Grotesque is spot on.

u/westguinneapeasantry 1d ago

Democrats want none of that they are capitalists. Grow up

u/arvada14 1d ago

Incredible projection. You're willing to pay more on groceries in order to have someone that hates the people you do in office. You have every reason to be despised. You're actually hurting my livelihood.

u/Popular_Mirror9441 1d ago

Trump is doing a Shit Job! But Hilary is a POS too lets not play pretend! This entire thread is riduculous.....The Reps have had a brutal MISERABLE PATHETIC Run, That doesn't turn Hilary into a Good person or good leader she is a Disaster as well!

u/arvada14 1d ago

No politician is a good person. Hillary is competent and not a criminal though. Trump is.

u/MuckaMucka1337 1d ago

NSFW tag, over 10 years on Reddit, almost 50k karma. Nah dude I think you just spend too much time online. You’re hurting you’re own livelihood

1

u/arvada14 1d ago

Your president's policies hurt my livelihood, you are being rightfully hated. Gas prices dont go down if I get off reddit. Farmers dont stop getting screwed over with trump's tarrifs if I get off of reddit. I want you all to understand that you are hated and its good. I want the next democratic president to punish as many Republicans voters as they can. You hate me because your president said so. I hate you because of verifiable facts and policies that even your own president admits hurts the country.
