why trump wasn’t doing the same this year when he has in the past

Which, honestly, is kinda weird. Like obviously he can just fake records like he has in the past.

Harris needs to be HAMMERING this.

Uhhh what? Did you forget what you wrote? Every part of my prior comment is directly referencing a part of yours. Are you having a stroke or something?

I’m not sure you’re making the point you think you’re making. Do you want to point to a dem policy? So I can tell you exactly who profited?

Jk I don’t actually care lol. The vitriol I receive from saying “humans aren’t black and white, 50% of the country aren’t motivated solely by causing suffering” is reward enough.

Well, you picked one and I picked one. You chose the “right to try”, ignored all the positives, focused on some possible negative, then implied that every Repub that voted for it did so only in order to further their evil plans.

Then I chose the expansion of Medicare in 2006, and got crickets.

You ignored all of that and focused in on a reddit thread showing the exact type of extremist responses that you’re exhibiting here. And called me a donkey. Guess you’re having a bad day. Hope it gets better, sweetheart. High school is tough

Lol jesus christ. What are you, 13?

I did a Google search earlier for another user, and Wikipedia mentioned that in 2006, repubs expanded Medicare and introduced a new plan for seniors. Feel free to tell me how that was evil

Please show me the nefarious motivations for every response in this thread, then prove to me that Dems don’t have nefarious motivations for every single policy they support. I want you to be as critical of dem policy as you are about the experimental drug policy - that is to say, ignore the obvious good it does and look for a way that it could be maliciously interpreted.

After all, I’m sure my aunt Michael didn’t actually want to get into the drug experiment that my mom drove her across the country to attempt to join. She should have had the decency to accept dying of cancer a few months later so that pharmaceuticals couldn’t take advantage of other people with 3 months to live. I’m sure you’d feel the same way if you had terminal cancer.

Wikipedia says congressional Republicans expanded Medicare, supporting a new drug plan for seniors starting in 2006.

Now can you please move the goalposts, tell me why it doesn’t count, it was too long ago, etc. I’m sure there’s no way I could spend another 20 seconds finding other examples lol

I don’t know man, I’m sure they had reasons other than “solely to inflict suffering on other humans”. Frankly, I don’t care. Republican politicians are mostly scum. But painting every Republican as a one-dimensional caricature that subsists on the suffering of others is shortsighted, naive, hyperbolic, and dangerous.

Lol “sigh” followed by “don’t be dramatic”, classic :) also following your bizarre accusations about my NEFARIOUS MOTIVATIONS, totally not dramatic

Kinda weird to say “I don’t care about your voting preferences” after explicitly making this our back-and-forth all about my voting preferences (well, your incorrect assumption about my voting preferences)

Reading comprehension doesn’t seem to be your strong suit. Why would I waste any actual thought on some weird teenager who thinks there are uNdErCoVer rEpUbLiCaNs in this thread CREATING OUTRAGE and KEEPING OTHERS FROM ENGAGING lolol, I have a hard time even typing that out without cringing, you weirdo

Still waiting…

Lol dude get a life, my comments are straightforward and comprehensive. Idgaf if you don’t want to read them, want to make a thousand strawmans, or make me into a REPUBLICAN PLANT that has REAL REASONS to lie about that. You very clearly project your bizarre worldview onto others. Have fun with that.

Agree on all fronts.

Lemmy is increasingly seeming like a more reddit-y reddit to me.

Goddamn, you types are really weird. There’s always one of you calling me a pLaNt. I don’t even see what my motivation would be, lol “omg he’s saying people are multidimensional and have different motivations, must be a Republican PLANT trying to KEEP OTHERS FROM ENGAGING”, lol it “WILL NOT WORK HERE”, do you hear yourself and how insane that sounds? As if that’s more plausible than a progressive dem that believes that maybe 50% of the country aren’t solely motivated by the drive to inflict suffering?

what a dimented worldview to have, I genuinely feel sorry for you, that that’s the world you live in. That my totally reasonable takes in this thread defines me, a literal straight-ticket dem voter for 20 years, as a Republican plant

I think, for the most part, Republican politicians are pieces of shit.

If you look at my comments in this thread, I am talking about the consensus on lemmy/reddit that any Republican (not just politicians) are not only vile monsters, but that their only motivation is to cause suffering. This thought has been shown to me many times in many comment threads, including this one.

You are not making the same argument that I’ve heard many times before. Others in this thread are making that argument.

Also, it’s absolutely insane to me that stating the belief that “all Republicans aren’t one-dimensional villainous caricatures” gets me labeled as a Republican. I’m a straight ticket dem voter and have literally never voted for a Republican, even when (as often happens in my state ) my only option was a Republican.

Martyr complex lol. Lemmy users love to assume that if you don’t demonize half of the country, that you’re a Nazi. You are the real caricature. I’ve been a straight ticket dem voter since I was 18 in the 04 election, probably longer than you’ve been alive. That doesn’t fit your extremely narrow worldview though lol

Lol I don’t hear you saying “show me one single act where a Republican acted with any singular other interest besides the explicit directive of making people suffer”
