Need to complain for a min....Not about DU... but political [View all]

So I'm on reddit....mostly for fun, but occasionally politics appear. Like now.

Down in a thread someone was carrying on about Dems, and Repubs = uniparty.
I pointed out the differences considering the Social Safety Net. Said they were ignorant if they didn't get that. They discounted that, and called me ignorant.

So countered with in the future if you need the safety net and Republicans have shredded more of it? Did they have elder relatives who need it now? What about them taking SNAP away from more people now.

We'll see what they say back. I hate that kind of equivalency ! I might not bother much more w that.
