    Choose one:

    • a kick in the balls and a taco.
    • a kick in the balls, acid to the face, and shot in each leg.

    Both sidesists:

    See! See! They’re exactly the same! They’re both gonna kick us in the balls!

      Did you forget about the millions of dead children your country produces or did you have to make it about you again?

      It really is a reminder of how much western shitlibs don’t consider foreigners human that they would equivocate a modern Holocaust with 'a kick to the balls and a taco"

        Sometimes I’ll see liberals hating on the left for losing them the election by not voting for the lesser evil and they’ll say “and she’s not even that bad they just don’t like her laugh”.

        Like imagine someone saying the only reason people hate Hitler is because he’s erratic in his speeches.

          My favourite is when they talk about genocide in Palestine like it’s a bipartisan FOOTNOTE and act smug about it. Even had one in this very thread.

      I think it would be more realistic like this.

      Choose one:

      • murder strangers and ignore you mostly.
      • murder strangers but kick you in the balls.

      Democrat voters:

      You are blind if you don’t see the difference.

      Easy for you when you aren’t the one being kicked. Also you missed where both kill tens of thousands of children.

      Is the taco coming from all the immigrants the democrats deported? They even ran on being tougher on immigration than Trump. They deported more people than he did. Is that where the taco is coming from?

          If you are saying this unironically you need to open a history book and look outside your bubble. Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Pakistan, Yemen, Haiti, former Yugoslavia, Sudan, Gaza, Vietnam, Dominican Republic, Somalia and many many more attacked and or destroyed under democrats.

          Republicans like to start wars.

          Compared to Democrats? How? Libya, Syria and Yemen were attacked under a Democratic president. In fact, Kamala said that Iran is the greatest threat in the world.

          Or better yet, the escalation of the genocide under Joe Biden? The genocidal monster who loves “Israel” so much https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYLNCcLfIkM

          Turns out, outside of Amerika; there is in fact not a single fucking difference between these 2 parties. All you care about is domestic affair concerning your treats. You don’t give a fuck about people outside your area.

            In my entire lifetime, only republicans have started wars, and only democrats have ended them. I’m almost 40.

            In fact, Kamala said that Iran is the greatest threat in the world.

            And Donald Trump started a war with them.

              Are you less than two years old? Did you already forget that the most recent blue government invaded Yemen and prepared to invade Iran?

              -Libya

              -Niger

              -Syria

              -Yemen

              All places intervened in by a democrat in recent memory, both parties are extremely militaristic.

      Are you evil naturally, paid for or just incredibly mentally lacking? Do you understand that the West stands solely through oppression and murder on a global scale? Why do you minimize it to a “kick in the balls”? Because they’re not yours, but of other people who don’t share your race? Do you understand what you’re saying here? Goddamn.

      You’re ignoring the stated viewpoint and making up one thats easier to argue against. Its clear that in the eyes of the poster they both give the same thing, one is just rude about it. Either argue for why being rude about it matters so much or argue for why they aren’t creating the same conditions.

      These metaphors don’t actually explain anything, and are generally used to avoid having to explain, because to do so would be difficult.
