Fine

😊

@Antiboom It's a statement, not an arguement, you're right.

As far as members of the parties

At this point the titles are just that, rather than reflecting the positions that were held 150 years ago

@Antiboom The party names state EXACTLY what their position is.

Democrats want democracy. Republicans want a republic.

Uh

Yes

I meant as far as the “supported x therefore bad” argument goes

It’s bs

@Antiboom yeah but i unironically used to get told daily that trump and the Republicans used to be the KKK and slavers.

Republicans tend to identify quite closely with the stated platforms of the GOP proper.

It uncovers a deeper ideological nature of their platform @Antiboom

Yeah that’s the annoying part @Ondsinet

That's why I was saying that again

@Fitzydog you gotta problem with getting rid of black babies? <:think_woke:378717098681171988>

<:super_edgy:426099058466095119>

@Antiboom Yes

But you’re a nazi

Controversial opinion: kids shouldn't be killed regardless of race

I disagree. When a political party as a platform endorses an abhorrent position, and you support that party, you are also supporting that position, even if only by proxy.

@Ondsinet WRONG <:covfefe:440543908846632980>

@Ondsinet disagree

@EnderOctanus if they claim to have changed their position as of 70 years ago does that still apply?

Native Americans can get yeeted

@Antiboom But they haven't

If the Democrats openly supported slavery and you aligned yourself with the Democratic Party, you are not exactly denouncing slavery, an extreme position to hold.

Immigration is slavery <:makes_you_think:382980749780844554>

Is it not?

It's better than slavery

You're not responsible for them

I mean they are literally importing second class citizens.

Precisely

@Fitzydog cheaper yeah, they come to you instead of importing them from another country

Although Democrats are fighting to make it not quite slavery

But wait

They aren’t

Not seriously at least

And if they are illegal you can threaten to deport them or imprison them.
