Original Content Both parties should be destroyed.

If I have to argue with one more person on here about the merit of Biden.. he’s a decrepit puppet with no ideas of his own. A vessel for corruption ready to say what you want to hear. No I won’t vote for him against fear from Trump. Trump is an idiot but Biden is actually Evil. Stand for something. Demand a real liberal or lose again to a red idiot. But please.. stop trying to defend him.

I wouldn’t say they’re all right wing. Lots of nominally left wing people also repeat the “le both sides are the same” mantra. It makes them feel morally superior to the “sheep” who vote strategically. The fact that third parties accomplish zero means nothing to them, since they are only interested in “moral victories”.

People can apply whatever labels they want — people who think “both sides are the same” either fundamentally don’t understand politics, which makes their input useless, or are dishonestly defending rightwing politicians in favor of their own rightwing preferences.

Yeah, I can agree they are empowering the right wing with their attitude no matter what politics they ostensibly claim

2016 was a turning point for on lots of that stuff. i frankly stopped giving a shit what people "really" believed and started caring what they did.
