I saw a sign in my area recently that said “vote no on all proposals” 🙄 guess what political party they support.
It does really depend on where you live. For my area, the same sign means vote no against fascist proposals.
In any area, I would be amazed to find that every single proposal was bad. I suppose it is possible though.
Every proposal here is basically “can we tax you more, and then mismanage those funds too?”. Fucking balance the budget you have before you come begging for more money.
I like the sign and I agree but where’s the humor?
I believe the funny part is how liberals are just fully going mask off and using the GOP platform policy-for-policy
While I don’t disagree, feels more like an anti trump Republican sign. Of course dems keep going that direction so who knows anymore
They’re a “far-left” radical troll. I out that in quotes because I recall seeing them praising state capitalist nations.
Anyway, they and their colleagues are siding with MAGA against their shared enemy, classic liberals. So yards signs against Donald make them angry.
That doesn’t change the fact that it just looks like a never trump Republican sign, especially when it fits exactly in with the Harris and other dems campaigns
I’m coming to realize that on the left-right, liberal-authoritarian political compass, there’s a lot of “far left” people who value authoritarianism more than they value left beliefs.
Just saw one of these today on my way back from jury duty
Why do you like anti-lgbt and reproductive rights dogwhistles?
I saw that too.
The constitution, business, and defense lines also raised questions.
I think it’s a simplified message to show conservatives it’s ok to vote against orange shit stain
And that’s totally fine. For them, anyway.
Editing to add: Someone else in this thread commented to say that these were ‘mask off’ liberal values that are just GOP values. I think that shifted my baseline of expectations for what I was seeing here.
The constant divisiveness and purity testing between auth lefts who pretend that they represent all lefts and accuse liberal lefts of being centrists or even of being liberal right is really fucking up the dialogue and (occasionally) my perceptions of what falls where.
Thank you for weighing in and reminding me to double check that I wasn’t having my perceptions influenced by the dialogue around me.
Favoring the constitution is an issue for you? Man, nvm. I don’t want to open that can of worms.
Yeah. Of course it is when folks only care to defend a few parts of it or one of the amendments and completely neglect the first, fourth, and fourteenth.
Which also does not account for the fact that it’s a document written when the predominant form of government in the world was a monarchy, and was written with the preservation of power by land-owners in mind. Since then the world has embraced democracy and learned quite a bit about what works for more egalitarian societies.
Religious reverence towards a document slave owners wrote to avoid paying taxes is usually a red flag, yes.
Even if you assume good faith, which given the context you’d be naive to, it’s not even a particularly good document for enumerating rights either. If you said you were pro the UN charter of human rights that would make sense, but the US constitution?
