    Choose one:

    • a polite foreign child crusher
    • a rude foreign child crusher

    Libs:

    How dare you point out that polite people are crushing children? You must think I shouldn’t vote for anyone! It’s very important to never improve things, foreign children be damned!

      Not that it really matters, because I’m not a liberal, I’m a leftist, but I (and more importantly, my liberal friends) have no problem criticizing democrats for supporting Israel. So go ahead and point that out all you want. I’ll 100% agree with you that they are just as bad as republicans on that issue. The problem I have is when someone reduces the parties down to their stances on one single issue. (In case that wasn’t incredibly obvious from my first comment.)

        The meme didn’t say they were the same, they said they both crush children. People gotta come with a list before it’s okay? Not great for memes.

        (It’s not just Palestinian children either btw)

          The meme heavily implies that the only difference is that one is polite and one is rude, which is not the only difference.

          They both operate the exact same Palestinian child crushing machine, but one also operates a number of additional child crushing machines. People didn’t support the lesser evil because they’re more polite, they do it to keep those additional child crushing machines from operating.

            You think Palestine is the only Bi-partisan machine? You really need to open a history book. Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, Syria and all the rest are all bi-partisan.

            I understand why people do it but what I don’t understand is why they are content to continue supporting any child crushing and discourage people from discussing it.

          They’re literally drawn as the same person with different colors.
