The two parties are like a bad and a good cop: they work in tandem to trim your rights, but because they alternate, use different tactics and pretend to disagree with each other, you get the impression that they are in opposition.
- pwinnski 4y agoThis is absolute nonsense. While neither party has a completely clean record, one is profoundly, dramatically, egregiously worse than the other when it comes to our rights. One party usually protects our rights, but occasionally does stupid things like join the other party post-9/11 in making life worse for all of us. The other party celebrates their new ability to pass completely meaningless bills like this one to demonstrate how much they hate worker rights, and that is par for the course. 9/11 wasn't an exception for them, the whittling away of our rights is the entire point. Neither is perfect, but don't pretend for a moment they are the same.

- mrguyorama 4y agoBecause if you openly state that "both sides bad" is a strictly conservative claim, you get downvoted and flagged. But no, HN is soooo liberal.
