This right here. The meme is very misleading and plays into the falsehood that is the "both sides are equally bad" narrative. Both sides just aren't equally bad, the Republicans are orders of magnitude worse than the Democrats. Are the Dems perfect? No, but they are significantly better than the Republicans and anyone who tells you otherwise is either lying or isn't that bright.

Just remember; not voting in the midterms helps the Republican party a lot more than it hurts them, and those who choose not to vote (or vote for third-party candidates with no hope of winning) are effectively voting for the Republican (as the action helps them whether you intend it to or not). Vote for the nominated Democratic candidate in November; you don't have to like everything they do, but you should be able to recognize that the Democrats and way better than the Republicans.

You know, I don’t really like republicans, either, but when you say arrogant bullshit like I must be lying or not that bright, then I don’t like YOU either. I think there tons of reasons to disagree with both bullshit parties who care nothing about me, and I am both truthful and bright. If you really want me to come out and vote for your side, maybe consider and different tack. 🖕

Well for what it’s worth, I didn’t hate you until you opened your mouth.

What else was in the bills republicans voted against? You say it was just republicans being idiots, but what else was in those bills?

Any policy ever that would assist Americans in living. Take your pick. Naturally, the automatic “No, fuck off” veto system we know as Republicanism declined to have any form of economic or fiscal responsibility. Also probably something about stopping the really creepy inquisition into trans people, because we have bigger fish to fry than people I couldn’t give less of a fuck about. Talk to me about gas prices and groceries before trans, I genuinely could not give a fuck

I really couldn't have said it better myself! The Republicans are worse on every issue; culture, economics, foreign policy, healthcare, education, the military... One could literally name any policy subject and it would be pretty easy to explain how the Democrats are better than the Republicans on it.
