If you believe there is no difference between Republicants and Democrats you're an imbecile.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

And a callous one at that.

[Madam45for2923]

1. and have no credibility.

[emulatorloo]

4. and should never ever be listened to about anything

[ehrnst]

2. And come from a place of privilege and denial. (nt)

[nycbos]

28. +1

[George II]

3. I couldn't have said it better, thanks.

[NBachers]

5. And are a basic element of the entire problem.

[lsewpershad]

6. 1000

[lsewpershad]

8. Multiply by 1000

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. Who is going to look out for

gay people
bi people
trans people
Muslims
Latinos
African Americans
undocumented workers
elderly people
the working poor
the poor

Certainly not the GOP. They would gladly turn them into compost.

[treestar]

9. And that is putting it kindly

[Blue_Adept]

10. More likely that people that say that have an agenda instead.

[Skidmore]

13. Yeah, not much different than the agendas of

Bannon or Putin--to destroy the parties and our institutions. I consider them bad actors who offer nothing in good faith. Only destruction and division.

[SaschaHM]

11. Or they recognize the differences and just didn't care enough....

about the people (transgender service members, PoC, women) affected by these differences to bother acknowledging them. The worst thing that is going to happen to Susan Sarandon so far this year is that she is going to (hopefully) lose an Emmy to Jessica Lange or Nicole Kidman. Millions of folks who make up those differences between the parties that she so callously ignored are facing cataclysmic life changes.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

14. You would think after

-the Muslim ban
-the trans ban
-the Dreamer ban
-Gorsuch

people would wake up.

[wryter2000]

15. And if we go back a few years...

The invasion of Iraq. Anyone who thinks Al Gore would have done that is a plain fool or a liar.

[mountain grammy]

16. Or 9/11 for that matter..

All the warnings were there but ignored by W's incompetence.

[wryter2000]

17. Yup

As Al Franken called it in his book "Operation Ignore."

[Nitram]

18. I can't believe how many people I've heard say "there is no difference between Repubs and Dems.

I usually only need to give 2 or 3 examples before they concede, that, well, yes there are major differences. Differences such as "wouldn't have invaded Iraq", "Don't try to control women's bodies", "Keep the social safety net in place", "Support policies that will reduce greenhouse emissions", "Support diplomacy and a strong and active State Department", "Support a higher minimum wage", "Support consumers over corporations", etc, etc.

[Eliot Rosewater]

26. And yet they keep saying it , dont vote etc.

Lazy is what they are.

[DippyDem]

19. That's my brother. I can't tell him anything about the differences.

And worse he is a conspiracy nut.

[DFW]

20. I suspect

....that 99% of those who claim to believe that know perfectly well there is no truth to it, but they repeat it anyway, as it supports their narrative. The Foxsuckers on the right have a greater percentage that really believe the nonsense they spout. There is no excuse for anyone on the left really believing it, as the left doesn't tend to be ideologically attractive to those with an IQ under 50.

[Jakes Progress]

21. This is truth. There are

so many people who do not think. They "feel" or react, but they go through life without thinking, fertile ground for radio racists and russian bots, a waste of organic matter.

[Honeycombe8]

22. Of course. Who thinks there's no difference? nt

[broadcaster90210]

23. And voted 3rd Party.

[JHan]

24. I tell such people to take their chances with the GOP..

their bullshit is endless

[NastyRiffraff]

25. A lot of people use that as an excuse

- for laziness; they don't vote, they don't bother to stay informed;
- for upholding cherished beliefs: politicians are all crooked, nothing ever changes;
- for a chance to sound "superior": only the rubes believe that votes matter

And of course, because they are imbeciles.

[shanny]

27. Again?

[sharedvalues]

29. Worse. You've been duped by Putin if you believe that.

[AngryAmish]

30. 3 generations of imbeciles are enough.

[Gothmog]

31. Agreed
