There absolutely is opposition between the sides.

The right wants to take away womens rights.

The left wants to take away gun rights.

Just as a quick example.

? Of course there is opposition between the left and the right. What does that have to do with two right wing genocidal capitalist parties?

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

They are not both right wing.

Examples:

Left:

Student loan forgiveness.

Right:

Blocking student loan forgiveness.

Alternately:

Right:

Capital Punishment

Left:

Blocking Capital Punishment

Is it also "left wing" to bypass congress to send weapons to a genocidal state faster? Or denounce the ICC for actions against that state like in the post you're commenting on?

Studen loan

Education Dept. announces highest federal student loan interest rate in more than a decade

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

And the student loan interest rate has fuck all to do with the plans on the left to forgive student loans, plans which are continually blocked on the right.

You can't take a single issue and go "BoTh sIdEs aRe tHe sAmE" when they clearly are not.

The right wants to invade Mexico for gods sake!
