  One side trying to fuck the working poor, the other side trying to help the working poor whilst fucking themselves at the same time.

  (It’s not the same, is what I’m getting at)

    While it is clear which side is less worse over the other one, I’d really argue that that one side that is not trying to fuck working poor is trying to help them. At best, they do bare minimum. In case they would really try and help working class and give them security, many things in USA would differ from what they are today.

    You don’t think touching someone who isn’t your spouse isn’t the same regardless of what political party you’re a part of? Seems odd. Call me old fashioned but infidelity is infidelity regardless.

      I mean infidelity really isn’t old fashioned. It’s a relatively new thought process. Most cultures throughout the centuries past have seen it as normality.

      Ive been well aware every time ive been cheated on. Its almost like if you cant trust your partner, you shouldnt date them. If thats something that bothers you then dont engage with cheaters. And if you cant tell whether theyre a cheater, then you dont know them well enough to be dating.

      I just don’t care, personally. Infidelity is the kind of thing that makes me go, “that’s kinda not cool, but you do you.”

      I don’t know what JFK and Jackie had going on- maybe they had screaming fights on the regular over it, or maybe they were both explicitly on board with him fooling around. Their marriage ain’t my business.

      As long as everyone involved is of age and consenting, I largely don’t care who politicians are fucking past the memes being funny occasionally.

        I care to the extent that they care. If a politician is making bank on being moral and upstanding and against that sort of thing, I’ll treat them as they treat others when they’re caught with a side hustle.

        That’s not infidelity though. Infidelity is cheating. An open relationship isn’t cheating.

      I’m saying the level of shit is stacked higher in one party than it is in another.

      The crime is bad. The frequency of the crime when split by party is has a humongous ratio
