I don't know that I've ever seen anyone say that both sides are the same. I have seen people (when talking about the US) call out when both sides do the same things, such as: Put forth rapists and child-killers as candidates, back a genocide, send people to torture prisons, refuse to fix the healthcare system, etc.
B is indeed worse than A, but I've seen too many people use that to pretend that one side is "actually good", instead of being able to see that both sides are bad.
Well said, both sides are bad, but one is so much worse than the other
It's crazy the amount of people that think the evil voters are at fault and not the political party that made a wedge issue out of fucking genocide of all things.
So you're saying it's not any fascist's fault for voting for a fascist, because they were manipulated?
This isn't entirely new or unique to America, but the dynamic is essentially:
Party A improves the odds fascism is successfully implemented.
Party B implements it.
Reducing the conditions for fascism to take hold is strictly off the table for both A and B.
Fundamentally changing the system of Party A (or B for that matter) through voting alone would at least require a Party C.
But even so it is the internal party politics prior to and outside of elections that are keeping this fascism paradigm in place. And that's where people's frustrations tend to lie.
People who refuse to vote when there is a clearly superior option deserve whatever the greater evil brings forth when they win.
In Sweden the far-right tried to play this game. They started chirping about the social democrats being rasist and made a list on like an A4 with names and events. Then the same was done to them, matching the font, their list was taken up a skylift and holding one end they folded it out to the ground in a television program.
People have a hard time with percentages, propensity, likelihood, etc. They can only think in binary terms. I used to think it was the right but looks like it's everyone.
Inb4 tankies go: "Abraham Lincoln was a racist, LiTEraLlY tHe sAmE as the southern slave owners" 🤡
Lately, they have been trying to tell me that North Korea is a democracy.
I mean it is in the name. The DEMOCRATIC People's Republic of Korea.
Dumb libs can't even read
"Perfect is, in fact, the enemy of good, and if we can't have perfect then we shouldn't settle for good!"
I do so wish their fucking around would limit the finding out to just them, but alas.
No, flipflops don't work at all. My uncle's neighbors former roommate only has 1 toe, so they solve nothing.
