Democrats would never finish arguing over who got to be in the 100 line, why they weren't included, what was racist about how they selected the 100, etc.

Re: Political meme thread for both sides of the spectrum.
Fuckin A thats perfect and the faithful on both sides cant/wont admit the folly of each position.
Explain the folly of the democrats position here.
its not the least bit surprising that you can't see it.
"The faithful on both sides can't/won't see it"
Cue: spudoc
What is the folly?
when you are dolling out money for programs, it doesn't matter if the people really need it or not. The money is taxed on the rich anyway, so who cares? As long as you can justify it by saying "but, but.....one person needed it". Then its worth it for the votes from the other 99.

Actually the whole point of this is to show the foolishness of both attitudes.
Taken to the extreme, liberal policies would make us run out of money and/or put everyone in the poor house. Money isn't limitless. Accepting many undeserving "deadbeats" to make sure all the deserving get benefits isn't a sustainable model.
But the extreme conservative policy can be Darwinian/Conscienceless. Accepting harm to many people deserving of aid so that a few "deadbeats" don't get undeserved benefits shouldn't be acceptable either.
I think it's obvious that somewhere in-between is the ideal. And trying to help as many as we can get "off the gubmint dole" as possible should be a big part of that.

So the democrats in this meme think everybody should be fed and that is somehow wrong?

Actually... yes.
Read what FSchmertz said (that you just quoted) again.
It is a spot on assessment.

Its idiotic. If we are to take each stance as the equal opposite (and that's what the meme is doing) then the republican side is reprehensible while the democrat side is just over generous. One side says there is a lack of food for one so feed everyone and one side says there is a lack of food for many but someone might game the system so fuck everybody and these are somehow moral equivalents?
Re: Political meme thread for both sides of the spectrum.
I don't know if it is why CQ posted it but Farmers did more than ok, they received 35 BILLION in relief for an "overblown pandemic" on top of their annual 12 BILLION in annual government assistance. I bet real Conservatives are livid.

and yet the democratic side is one we get bill after bill after bill after bill after bill. there is no end to their analogies for "starving". student loans, health care, school supplies, teacher supplies, child care, welfare benefits, reparations, food stamps, housing, etc, etc, etc....
