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.
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.
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.
You think you just said something wise, but there is a huge difference. One affords you more time, 2 or 3 hours don’t matter much if you know you’re dead.
But you’re not, you can act. Progress is haltingly slow because people do not want retroactive talking points. New and shiny is entertaining. Our worlds have grown too vast, too fast. Legislation cannot catch up with the world they have awakened upon the 1s and 0s.
Buying time for what? What can we make the Dems deliver on that will take us out of this state where we’re constantly having to vote to avoid fascism and nothing else?

So true, bestie, everyone who disagrees with me and cites their sources are irrational. True rational enlightened thinkers just call their interlocutors tankies and log off.
The Democrats suck but there’s a huge difference between voting for boring corporatists and 100% concentrated evil. Don’t make me tap the chart.
boring corporatists just committed genocide
The “boring corporatists” in germany put Hitler in power btw
“boring corporatists” are destroying our planet and making it unlivable.
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.
An unlivable planet is worse than all those things
They are also doing that too.
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.
Both parties are ruining the planet, we agree on that, 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.
And there’s a huge difference between fifty degrees below zero and absolute zero. But both are lethal to humans if exposed to it for a night.

The 3rd party is you, you can act.
Buying time for what? What can we make the Dems deliver on that will take us out of this state where we’re constantly having to vote to avoid fascism and nothing else?
Another reminder that BlueMaga don’t consider Palestinians human; their complete extermination is just “boring corporatism”
What’s the huge difference in outcome? Why is voting the only type of action being considered?
You don’t get to do a genocide and then say the other guy is “100% concentrated evil.”
You don’t get to define what evil is when you voted for the antichrist.
No matter what action you took in this last election. You were voting for genocide.
So accusing anyone of voting for genocide is kind of silly because everyone did. No one really had a choice.
You voted for genocide and are now trying to absolve your conscience by claiming you had no choice, and that in reality everyone did what you did.
No, a lot of people didn’t do what you did.
We all did, we all voted for it. We didn’t all vote for fascism though. That was a you thing probably.
Don’t worry it’s ml, they are irrational
“We don’t have to argue with Communists, we can just call them dirty commies and plug our ears”
When the commies refuse to grasp reality that is what people will say.
It sure must be convenient to be able to simply gesture and posture around, rather than grapple with the arguments of others.
I’m new here and just trying to fit in… I guess I was confused after seeing all the people with .ml after their names do the exact same shit.

I’m fully aware. That doesn’t change my statement. That’s not even relevant to the discussion.
Are you saying its ok for for them to simply gesture and posture rather than grapple with arguments? I really don’t see why you typed that.
Your statement was empty, though. You just dodged having to engage with the argument. You were the one gesturing.
So true, bestie, everyone who disagrees with me and cites their sources are irrational. True rational enlightened thinkers just call their interlocutors tankies and log off.
“Everyone who doesn’t share my casually fascist politics is just irrational, mentally incompetent if you will, and not worthy of consideration”
Sounds like someone who is really confident in the strength of their arguments and the courage of their convictions
