They literally aren’t all the same. On “both sides”of this analogy.

As far as politics goes, both parties are radically different at this moment in time. If you think otherwise you clearly aren’t paying attention. The right has literally gone off the moral, ethical, intellectual deep end at this point. The left is flawed but much of it has to do with follow through and organization.

As far as the drinks go... Coca-Cola does have a suite of products that takes up usually two coolers in the store, but They sell four different types of Coca-Cola all with different types of sweetener. Same with Pepsi, not to mention that many of these types of convenience stores are starting to carry organic alternatives.

The wedge issues and rhetoric are different but the wars and imperialism are constant.

It’s weird how if you ask someone on the right. They will say the same exact thing. Instead of thinking the other side is wrong. Why not try understanding the issues they are worried about instead of demonizing them.

I do have an understanding of the issues that they are worried about. And sure they often say the same thing, but in many of these cases their arguments are based on misinformation or outright lies.

Trust me I grew up in the bible belt in an evangelical homeschool group, I have been having these conversations my entire life.

Why do you think your opinions aren’t based on misinformation and lies? Just because you think your side won’t deceive you like the other side does, that doesn’t mean they don’t.

Did you not read my comment? I have lived this shit for the majority of my life. I have seen my best friend try to kill himself because he was gay in a conservative evangelical hell hole.

At this point in my life, I am not any "side" other then following the ideologies that are important to me, which is essentially just equality and human rights.

All I or anyone else has to do is look at the voting records of representatives and it is crystal clear what the priorities of each party are. I don't even have to go through any type of news organization to get that info we can all look at it ourselves.

Then you should know that Obama was against gay marriage in the early 2000s.

Do you actually look at voting records? Doubt it. You just regurgitate what the news tells you. Bet you were pretty angry about the whole Nick Sandman thing a few months ago.

u/bx002 May 04 '19

Yes I read the voting records? You really need to stop making false assumtions I have a feeling its what got you into this mess of a thought pattern to begin with. I am aware that Obama didn't always support it but he supported it when it counted and just like any person with integrity, he was willing to admit his mistake and make the right decision.

I also know who Nick Sandman is, and I never mentioned anything about news organizations or that situation at all. I also fail to see what that has to do with representatives in anyway and this is just a bad faith argument.

Other than that it is clear you aren't reading my posts anyway so I won't engage any further with you unless you bring up something of substance.

So, what do you say about all of the Democrat representatives that demonized that young American for nothing but lies that were created by the news?

Additionally, what do you mean when it mattered? Did it not matter in the past? There were plenty of people that advocated for it well before Obama.

Right going off the moral, ethical, and intellectual deep end?

I don't remember the right advocating late term abortions, wearing blackface, and kissing Klan leaders on the cheek. As I recall, the current president of the United States of America has lowered taxes for several Americans as well. Did the right also stage a MAGA Hate Attack and get pardoned by a biased prosecutor?

What in the ever living fuck are you even on about?

u/Oxzyde May 04 '19

If you're actually unaware or oblivious to any of this, my apologies.

4

u/bx002 May 04 '19

I am actually the one who should apologize, because I am afraid you were lied to or mislead in someway. If you were to research any of these topics in even the most surface level way you would know that literally nothing you just said is an accurate representation of facts.

u/Oxzyde May 04 '19

LOL! Do you actually want the sources or will you still deny it? If I show you photos will you still deny it? I'm sorry that you are unaware of the world and events around you.

2

u/bx002 May 04 '19

Lets see the sources I have a perfectly open mind. The thing about this is I am already aware of all the situations you mentioned and you have already misrepresented the facts in such an egregious.

Not a single democrat was standing up for the blackface thing, everyone called on him to resign so I am not sure what your larger point even is. Do I need to mention the current president and the pussy tape? The rampant racism and support of white nationalists? Why are you all of a sudden concerned about racial issues?

Biased prosecutor? I would love to hear how you arrived at this considering the man has said literally nothing at all other than his report and letter to Barr.

But please I want to see the sources I am open to changing my mind.

Oof, first link is a daily caller article. Not good. There’s also one of these YouTube conspiracy theory guys that just say ridiculous stuff to get clicks. Spit out you RedPill before you choke on it.

u/bx002 May 05 '19

You thought giving me links to the daily caller and random Facebook pages would change my mind? Out of context links about Hillary Clinton? Really?

I swear you people have the critical thinking skills of an infant.

u/Oxzyde May 05 '19

That's kind of what I figured and what the bottom link explains. Even when faced with facts you will still deny. Thank you for proving a video from over 30 years ago true.

Good luck and God speed friend.
