i’m permanently anti democrat party.

thats a person issue not a democrat issue.

to be fair the people who bitch about "both sidesing" generally have a point, centrists fucking suck dude.

Centrists will pull some shit like "well maybe, we shouldn't ban gay marriage, but we should still restrict their rights, it's only fair right?"

martin luther king called them moderates and he agreed with both of us.

the problem is that moderates today call leftists they don't like tankies and other leftists agree; effectively proving king's point to be true.

istg politics fucks up everything it touches.

We can't have anything nice and this is why.

unfortunately for me and many others like me, politics is life due to simply existing at the intersection of every major national political topic for the last 35 years.

calling it "politics" divorces it from reality and frames it as purely theoretical even though it's not true; anyone calling it that is either clueless, privileged, or dog whistling. (sometimes 2 or all 3).

see that's the problem though, it's literally not life. You can go through the great depression without dying (probably)

Politics not existing for a little while isn't going to kill someone.

90% of politics is just performative bullshit anyway.
