      Is that really the problem people have with the post though? If someone made a January 6th meme on here it would 100% get upvoted.

        • Jan 06 was far closer to today and the ripples are still being felt. The threat that created Jan 06 is still there.

        • Warren was never anything more than an out of touch obscenely wealthy boomer trying (possibly sincerely, though unlikely) to be socially conscious.

        As with every “both sides” style argument, your equivalence is a false one.

          What? She ran for president once and I wouldn’t be surprised if she does it again. I myself voted for Bernie in the primaries, but she was my second option. But I guess the more irrelevant she is the better it is for your argument.

          Anyway, your response is missing my point, so I’ll spell it out for you: PRO-LEFTIST POST = GOOD; EVERYTHING ELSE = BAD. I thought reddit was pretty skewed but this place is nothing but democrats and tankies and that’s all that’s allowed.

            Because you made your point poorly, using a false equivalence. Warren being a fool years ago is different from Jan 06 memes in many more ways than one being about a democrat and the other being republicans.

            PRO-LEFTIST POST = GOOD; EVERYTHING ELSE = BAD

            Ok boss.

            Just post something funny and relevant next time.

        I’m not trying to jump down your throat or anything. This just reminds me of the insufferable “anti-sjw” YouTube era.
