    Do they? Sure, Bernie supporters love to sniff his farts, but they’re not making him the center of their conspiracy theories and there’s no indication they’d believe him if he said 2+2=5. And no one’s getting this excited over Harris, Biden, Warren, Buttigieg, etc.

    We need to stop pretending both sides are basically the same. They’re not. They were in the 90s, when it was Clinton vs. Bush. They were pre-Trump, with people like Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz. But Trump is in a league of his own, and there is not a liberal equivalent of MAGA right now.

      Only lazy, ignorant people who think they are sounding smart say this.

      As Republicans keep shifting to the right, Democrats fill the void just left by Republicans. Democrats are BlueMAGA, the only difference is a Republican will tell us what they are gonna do, then do it. Democrats talk about opposition, but end up enabling right wing policy and lock it in place with their ratchet effect.

      I was told by liberals that I should stop worrying about Gazan children for more than a year while Biden and Democrats happily gave Israel the money and guns to kill them

      Now they tell me Trump is bad for his support of Israel

        Democrat voters were the only ones denouncing Israel.

        The choice was made clear in all social media and publicly by all Democrat and Republican politicians.

        Vote Democrat if you want to support Palestinians and condemn Israel while continuing to allow Israel to buy weapons.

        Vote Republican if you want to exterminate all Palestinians. Trump promised in speeches to wipe out all Palestinians.

        You might not like either choice but the two sides were not the same.

        That’s not the equivalent at all. That’s pro-Zionism, and has been the US party line for decades. Biden even admitted that back in the 1980s.

        How on Earth are you equating that to MAGA?
