Short-term they’re different,
That’s like saying in a million years everyone will be dead, so why do anything?

The Right always votes for the GOP candidate, and the GOP candidate is the guy who wins the primaries. Most folks don’t vote in the primaries, so the most extreme guy almost always wins.
Meanwhile, there are people on the Left who hate AOC because she hasn’t pistol whipped Nancy Pelosi.
Hitler came to power because the majority couldn’t settle on a non-Hitler candidate. Now you’re saying we should do the same thing.
That happened after Trump tore up the treaty, right?
Thank you. You’re going to get a lot of nonsense where people keep telling you that voting is meaningless. Don’t listen.
You do know that Obama signed a peace treaty with Iran that even the Israeli Mossad said was working? You knew that, right?
So, both sides are the same and don’t vote?
Funny how every time the GIOP does something awful we see a lot of BoTh SIdes ArE The SAMe memes.
No actual plans or ideas, but lots of memes telling people not to vote.

Except that the rich know who to bribe with campaign contributions.
Look at Ronald Reagan. As an actor, he was not a giant star. Plenty of folks got a higher salary. Reagan lucked into a job as spokesman for General Electric, at the time one of the biggest companies in the world. Reagan hung out with the big shots and introduced them to his Hollywood buddies; in return he got stock tips and investment opportunities that made him rich.
You’re middle class if you’re still working for your money. You’re rich when your money works for you.
A $5 million a year actor/athlete still has to work; they are also paying for their trainers, agents, dietitians, clothes etc. They are upper middle class.
A trust fund baby with an income of $1 million a year is the rich one. imho.
imho, it was Nixon who started America on this course. Nixon knew that the Vietnam War was unwinnable; he even ran in 1968 as a ‘peace candidate.’ He also knew that massive bombing would mean that the US steel mills would be working 24/7 and that would be great for the Unions and owners. All he had to do was pay for it with paper money, because he didn’t want to raise taxes.

When I was a kid, the worst playground insult was calling someone a ‘J@p,’ because only a yellow bastard would pull a sneak attack like Pearl Harbor.
Tojo must be smiling in Hell.
7·5 months agoIn a neighborhood, everyone knows your name. If Joe the Plumber and Fred the Butcher make a bet, everyone has heard it, and the loser has to pay up, or be scorned.
In a bar, the bartender or server holds the bets and pays off the winner, and expects a cut of the pie as a sevice fee/tip.
51·5 months ago90 year old woman goes to the local brothel. She tells the madam that she wants to try something new, so she wants to try being a hooker for a night. Madam makes some phone calls, finds some customers who 'd be into it, and tells the woman to come back the next night.
The next day the lady arrives, and soon the first john shows up. They walk upstairs, spend an hour, and come back. The second customer is waiting, and so he and she go upstairs. After she comes back down, the third guy arrives, so it’s back upstairs.
At the end of the night the madam asks if she wants to come back?
“Oh, no dear. the sex was fine but those damn stairs will kill me.”

Apparently, back in the day the government decided that some places weren’t worth saving, and the benefits of building dams and flooding the towns outweighed other considerations.
The movie ‘Deliverance’ has a plot about something like this happening.
