    Telling the truth is never disenfranchisement. If you have to lie or turn a blind eye to win, your values and your morality sucks.

      you certainly aren’t telling the truth in any meaningful way by promoting disenfranchisement based on your narrow misunderstanding of complex political situations.

              if you only understand politics in primary colors, you’ve been brainwashed.

              Conservatives have taken away civil righs and quality of life, progressives are fighting to peeserve and expand civil rights and quality of life.

              They are completely different.

                If they’re completely different then why are the same billionaires voluntarily funding them both? You fucking moron

                  because, you fucking dolt, rich assholes pay for influence regardless of policy.

                  that has no bearing, you brain dead idiot, on the fact that progressives protect civil rights and expand quality of life through much of their policy, while conservatives rescind civil rights and decrease quality of life through their policy, you dumbass.

                    And selling influence to the same people makes the parties different how? Those billionaires are influencing both parties to do the same things, they wouldn’t pay if it didn’t return. Democrats are exactly as corrupt and bloodthirsty as republicans, just more “civil” about it. It’s a good cop/bad cop routine, quit being gullible.
