      So do 100% concentrated evil, but they also wipe their arses with the constitution, set up concentration camps, and literally ruin the political and economic position of the US.

          You don’t get it.

          They are destroying the planet on top of all the other things.

            Thanks for agreeing with me that on the biggest most important issues both sides are the same

              If you can’t see the difference between a centrist party and a far-right fascist one, then I hold no hope for your political literacy going forward.

                I honestly thought reddit was bad but the “both siders are evil” morons here are way worse.

                  No because that is only a half truth. You are willfully ignorant of the other half of the equation. One side is measurably more damaging to the US and the world overall. You don’t get to “both sides” this.

                  Both

                  And yet one of them does significantly more to ruin the planet than the other.

                  If you want the highest possible chance of changing the world for the better, you want a party in power that is the least bad of the options available to you. That doesn’t mean that party is good in itself, but it’s certainly the best chance you’ll get.

                  If you want to save the climate, for instance, the party that’s open to developing more clean energy, even if they still support fossil fuels in some capacity, is better than the one actively dismantling climate regulations, halting clean energy development, and increasing our fossil fuel production to an even higher rate.

                  Nobody likes this duopoly, but when you live under one, you have to pick the side that will do the least harm in order to implement your own goals to reduce harm further.

                  This doesn’t mean the Democrats are inherently good, but they’re certainly going to give you a better shot at improving the world than the neo-Nazis will.

                  let’s leave it there

                  Sure, I’ve now got nothing left to say.

              Are you conflating corporatism and concentration camps because they start with the same letter or are you really this fucking stupid?

                Ruining the planet for everyone is worse than anything else and on that issue both sides are the same

                  It’ll be ruined much faster with the red party in control. I guess we are gonna speed run the decline thanks to people like you.

                    If the only options are to keep ruining the world at a steady pace or speed it up then we’re cooked anyway (literally)
