Yes, the most important thing to do after every Republican atrocity is to remember how BoTh SiDeS are identical morally.
That’s not a both sides argument.
That’s someone who’s lived through many cycles of American hot potato, and is under no illusion as to who the Democrats are, which is not the same as the Republicans, but still their own lesser brand of banal evil.
It’s your type’s eagerness to always bring it back to Democrats that is notable.
Edit: more downvotes please. It’s a badge of honor for a bunch of contrarians to disapprove of my message that Republicans are infinitely worse. We all know Democrats are disappointing and sometimes even criminal and your need to remind us every chance you get speaks volumes.
It’s actually better if you reply instead of only downvote though so I can know for sure who the malicious/ignorant users are. Can y’all do me that favor?
Misread your comment the first time.
What is my type?
Again, I have lived through many transitional elections and have seen this cycle many times before, so if saying out loud the reality of our broken two-party system is hurtful to you, my apologies.
What I’m actually eager for, is to stop that cycle, and to stop it, you must first acknowledge it.
And doing your mixed capitalization of the both sides meme, ain’t it.
Your type is the person who, when hearing about Republicans doing something bad, does not pause but immediately reminds everyone how bad Democrats are.
I’m sorry that I live in reality.
I’m sorry that you want to pretend that when Democrats get back in power, that they’re going to hold these criminals to account.
But most of all, I’m sorry that you still have faith in the system, so much so that you are casting shame on anyone reminding people that the Democrats are not our saviors, and that it’s up to us.
I stopped reading. You’ve no idea what I believe, but you’re telling one story and unknowingly giving your true one away.
Stop, I’m choking on the irony.
Mostly Democrat irony, clearly. Republican irony is fine. And don’t anyone forget it. The most important fact ever: Democrats are worse.
And yet, you’re quiet comfortable telling them what they believe.
Cute.
No I’m not the one in many threads trying to shift focus away from a select group

Always the Lemmy.world folks with this Blue no matter who crap.
Dense as hell.
Always the sHiTliB crowd simping for Republicans and Russian assets like Jill fuckin Stein.
What random nonsense is this?
ShIiIiiTllLlllIiIiIIbBbB!
I’m not usually one to speak on maturity, but are you sure you’re old enough to be here?
Ooooh ouch you sure told this ShItLiB, person with anime pfp lol
I think you are reading a different comment.
And that the Democratic poster child was doing the exact same thing, don’t forget that part.
I don’t think Carter, AOC, or Mamdani authorized drone strikes. Obama, a centrist at best, definitely did.
Remind me, who was the last non-centrist Democratic President?
Biden was FDR 2.0! The most progressive president in our lifetimes!
Haha!!!
Basically look at where the gdp vs. Real wage gap falls apart. It’s pretty clear.
Sure, but I think it’s clear from context that I’m talking about Obama. Establishment bootlickers love him so this is a good opportunity to highlight their hypocrisy.
He may be the best republican president we’ve had since the shift, but he is no favorite among progressives.
These propagandists don’t care. They’ll spend their days bitching and moaning about Democrats being the same and claiming that no one ever criticizes Democrats, no matter how obvious it is that that’s bullshit
