“Moral Hypocrisy”. When Greed and Morality collide, Greed usually wins.

    This is pretty common. There should be a website with a list of anti-choice politicians who are pro choice in private.

      You may as well just list all of them. Every conservative is basically a “rules for thee, not for me” jagoff. The second it’s about comeuppance for their own behavior they think they deserve a break and forgiveness instead of punishment. They all think they’re special snowflakes whose circumstances are different than everyone else’s. Which is part of why it’s hilariously on point that they project that part of themselves onto the left.

      I mean just look at how this jagoff treated his killing of an innocent.

            You wish.

            (And I do too.) It’s comforting to think of actual opposition to fascism, but then you watch these Dems hand away what little power they do have, and they’re about to do it again when they decide to hand Donald his government instead of shutting it down.

          Why are you lying?

          That is specifically a defining trait of conservatism in particular.

            You can’t gaslight me. My eyes actually work, and I’m watching Democrats ally with Donald Trump in real time to try and stop Zohran Mamdani from getting elected. This is after watching Dems supposedly anti-genocide president give Israel everything it wanted for four years.

            Dems are just as hypocritical, and as long as Democratic partisans’ opinions are based on nothing but party decree, that’s what Democrats will be.

              I didn’t say “Republicans;” I said “conservatives.” Quit accusing me of shit when you’re agreeing with me!

              Fascist collaborators don’t count as a separate type of “partisan.”

        Even that’s better than their position. It’s The Man (as in government) that gets to choose, unless they’re wealthy. Poor men or women can’t choose.
