Not really. Democrats "idolized" their president so much they basically forced him out of the race for being too old. This applies to one side: Republicans.
Not really. I don't idolize ANY politicians and am happy to criticize even those I vote for when I think they aren't doing it right. No Dem politician is selling $100k watches etc. because Dems won't buy them.
You didn't buy the Biden NFTs?
Does it apply to both sides though, really?
To be fair, a really hot stripper once solicited me for prostitution. So, she thought I was minimally gross. That's a w.
or she needed the cash lol
That's an unfair comparison. On one hand you have the lowest of the low within society, someone willing to compromise any morality they might possess and sell themselves for a paltry sum of money, and on the other hand you have hard working strippers.
Most places will only know of strippers because of us movies, but are still plagued with politicians.
Montreal strippers blow anything in the US out of the water.
It's basically the only thing I can stand that's connected to those shifty Canadians.
Bernie Sanders is the exception to that rule. Because he does care.
I'd be much more likely to trust a stripper than a politician.
There are no both sides. The two-party myth is nonsense. But stripper is really do exist.
In a first past the post electoral system, the 2 party system is the only system.
I get what you're saying, but let's please all recognize that our binary American choice is one party or the other. That doesn't mean they are both equal or that the Democratic Party is completely progressive and moral. It does mean that (until we have voting reform) we need to vote against fascism, racism, sexism, and stop the influence of giant corporations damaging our environment for their profits.
And the politicians don't let you spit nickels into their spread open buttholes!
Donate enough to their campaign and they might.
No, you pay politicians to do that to the electorate.
This is TMI.
Bernie is idolized on the left for his character, for good reason. And even then, he's not above scrutiny. When he was investigated for that banking stuff, everyone said "do it".
... that's it. That's all we've got on the left.
I don't like the Bernie love cause it's hypocrisy. How are we gonna say we want old people out of politics, except OUR old guy. Nah, he's had his run and anything he could have done by now he would have.
Frankly I don't have a problem with him but I did have a problem with people pushing him as president, cause I rather win an election, and Bernie can't win those. He can't even get the full support of his own party why would I think he'd be a good president?
we should not necessarily want old people out of politics. we should want old policies out of politics, and senile people out of government.
But if an old politician is mentally and physically fit for office, and brings policies in line with the will of the people, they should be allowed to run.
I think people on the left love Bernie because there aren't a lot of terrible skeletons in his closet. There are still a TON of things that Bernie could do that would make me dislike him and not support him. There is almost nothing Trump could do that would make a Trump supporter dislike him and not support him. That's the difference.
In other words, admiring someone for their ideals and action is not the same as unconditionally supporting them. No politician deserves the latter.
I get the impression it's different people making each of these conflicting arguments.
Personally I have no problem with old people being in leadership positions; experience is useful. The problem with the old white men in charge of the USA is that they serve corporations, not that they're old white men.
I voted for him in both primaries. But that's why I was entirely fine that he didn't win. The people chose, and it wasn't him.
But it's only a problem on one side.
Pretty much yeah. Dudes aren't festooning their homes and cars with Kamala signs and hats. Blue colored hats haven't become synonymous with one particular political group in a party either.
It's a character flaw to idolize anyone.
Sorry, I'll rephrase for clarity: it's only happening on one side. I mean c'mon, the Democrats gave up running an incumbent president because he was obviously not up to the job (read: senile). Trump was never up to the job (read: egomaniacal racist sexist idiotic narcissistic wannabe-dictator) but the Republicans practically broke their necks slipping in their own drool running to nominate him for the third fucking time, even though last time he ran he quite literally tried to start a civil war.
Were you not alive a couple months ago when the entirety of dem social media was desperately trying to convince the world a second Biden term was a good idea?
You mean a couple months ago when they begged him to stop running and then he did? Yeah, I remember well. The Democrats gave up an incumbent candidate, historically the biggest possible advantage a political party could have, because they knew he obviously was unfit for the task. It's almost like they base their decisions on reality and common sense instead of fear-mongering bullshit and xenophobia, interesting...
Citation link of Harris worshippers?
That literally doesn't exist. Unlike the Cult of Trump, people appreciate her genuineness, her honesty, her integrity, her intelligence, her warmth... To think that that rises to the level of "worship" is wild.
Realistically they don't exist. But it messes with their narrative. They need to feel Superior. So they need to feel that the people who disagree with them must worship her or Trump. Because it certainly couldn't be that they have bad takes. Or thay people have reasonable things to disagree with them on. They know in their own minds that they are absolutely 100% correct. And if you disagree with them. It doesn't mean that you have anything about to say or a point. It just means to them that you are wrong.
Have you ever encountered the KHive?
Idk why you're being downvoted it's like people forgot about 2016. Although that might just have been bc she was far less popular back then so her more vocal supporters seemed a lot louder
So no Harris equivalent?Saying she's a better choice than Joe or Trump is not idolizing. Take it from me, a coconut pilled internet brained phone banker.
Tbf, some people can have fun and this point that might look like pretending you're as crazy for her as can be
If I were asked, depending on the context I'd either say I'm coco for coconuts or fuck the DNC. It's like a only we can talk shit thing because ideally we want them to improve (context: two-party system)
Go to Twitter, say anything about her extremely right wing record as a senator and AG.
Lmao missed with that both sides bs
But you can't pay a politician to fu....oh I guess you can just get a politician to do that too. Yeah 👍 agreed 💯.
