    Democrat politicians constantly passed all these covid restrictions and then partied in Republican-led areas like Florida and Texas, or just violated their own rules.

    That did not give me the impression that they cared.

      Omg so shocking politicians are corrupt ass hats who literally exist in a different class than the rest of us.

      Sounds like you’ve just always been a rube. So are you going further left or just voting for the people who literally tell you they don’t care?

        You’re delusional if you think any politicians actually care about anyone but themselves.

        But the point is, I’m not comfortable with politicians deciding what’s “essential” and what isn’t, then ignoring the rules they set by partying in Florida.

        They at least understood that you can’t keep people locked down forever and let the government decide what’s “essential” and what’s not. Even Democrats understood this, so that’s why they vacationed in Florida and Texas.

          It’s always fun watching the “I hate politicians” Republicans ONLY be able to explain how they think it’s their right to piss on those lower than them via politicians, then immediately cheer politicians who are directly and openly working against their best interests.

          “Yes he’s stealing from me but he’ll let me steal from you if I vote for him”

          -Republicans in a nutshell

              You haven’t mentioned politics once, only politicians. Nobody buys your “centrist” bullshit anymore bro. A quick perusal of your history shows exactly who you are, and nobody cares.

                Just further proving my point that the political binary is the problem with this country.

                I am pro-union, pro-LGBT+ rights, pro-human rights, pro-choice, believe in knowing your rights when dealing with the police, pro-marijuana, and not religious.

                But the fucking moment I mention that I don’t like Biden or the way they handled the pandemic, suddenly all you assholes shut down and argue as if I’m a fucking Trump supporter. Fuck off with that bullshit. Vote Blue No Matter Who is a fucking cult just like Trumpism is.

                ETA: I’m fucking glad Trump is being indicted because I’m fed up with him and his cult. I’m hoping they throw the fucking book at him.

      Just because other people are hypocritical and disregard the well being of others doesn’t mean that’s what you should aspire to.

        No, but what made me upset is that every single one of these hypocrites got re-elected. The Democrats need to do better. Just because they’re Team Blue doesn’t mean they’re good people or even have anyone’s best interests in minds.
