    That’s what I took away from it too. I don’t see two different political spectrum people, it’s people who have different concerns coming together and going “I care about this, you care about that, we can get to that with time, but we both agree, these assholes are against all of us and they gotta go.

    One says “free Palestine, open borders” the other has a pride flag and a “science is real” button. But they both have “no kings” and “eat the rich” which is where they can align and take solidarity with each other against corporations and billionaires.

    It’s what politics are meant to be. We can debate the finer details after we take care of the people, but the well-being of everyone needs to come first no matter what.

    Hell we used to have that. Not that long ago the biggest flip flop for politics was abortion vs gay rights and that was kind of it as far as the big stage “swing items” for a lot of people. But as these politicians ignored the needs of the people they’ve spun up more bullshit to keep people distracted while continuing to ignore more of the needs and wants of the people.

    We have to come together as an American community to give standard of living to everyone and take our needs back from the fat cats absorbing the countries wealth for yachts and data centers.

      I see a caricature of the left from a centrist who hates them.
