"Both sides are the same"... anybody who says this is a dumbass and should be slapped on sight

[delta]

even i was Bernie or die and still voted for that witch Hillary

never understood this shyt at all. theres no excuse not to vote nowadays with mail-ins and early periods.
i know ultimately dependence on the Democrat party is a dangerous thing because they will take you for granted... but what choice do you have at this point.

 

[Geek Nasty]

Yep, people can't understand that elections are choices. No such thing as a protest vote. You just voted for Trump and all his fukkery.

I HATE Hillary for a whole lot of reasons, but between her and Trump it was a no-brainer...that is if you have a brain.

i don't think people really mean they're 'both the same', but the fact they are on the same part of the political space: right wing authoritarian.

the only real difference between them is religiosity.

trump is doesnt represent the GOP voice, just like bernie wasn't democrat.

 

[Robbie3000]

But emails and such

 

[thekingsmen]

Shut yo uneducated ass up. They are the same and it's been exposed for years of them being the same. The stupidity comes from the individual who thinks their party is superior when they are blind to the facts.

 

[Black Nate Grey]

Yeah I generally hate the "but both sides", it's generally a lazy and disingenuous argument especially when it comes to things like race.
But Hilary is a neo-con and was a terrible candidate.

Better than Trump though.

I think.

oh no, no, no

Dont do that.

There are many people, on this forum, who believe this

Don't let them skate.

These zero sum fukkboys deserve to rot in gulags. They're petulant children who don't know the nuances of negotiation, much less the value of sincere and realistic policy.

Hillary would have given you realistic benefits, squashed the alt-right sentiment (or sucked energy out of it), and promoted advances that we all would have benefitted from.

People expect to be in love with their politicians. These people aren't friends. You do business with them. And you damn sure don't forego everything just to make yourself feel better about yourself. No one gives a flying greasy fukk about your feelings. The entire purpose of voting is to pick the BEST candidate. You compromise every time you cast every vote.




Stupid people get to vote. Don't take that agency away from them. They own this 100%.

 

[HandyWithTheSteel]

Democrats are the only ones who hate the "both sides are evil" argument.

They're still desperate to get people to vote for their garbage party with their "lesser of two evils" bullshyt.

She was not a fukking neocon.

Jesus. fukking. Christ.

You all just sling buzzwords like its halloween candy and expect daps and reps for that shyt to your co-lowbrow residents in the hell hole of irrelevancy where your ideological peers reside.

Grow the fu¢k up

The party isn't garbage.

The fact is that racists and selfish idiots still get to cast votes.

Stop ignoring willing participants.

Just shut the fukk up. And stay that way.

because conservatives know both sides aren't the same and benefit from the argument.

Better than trump is a low benchmark when it's arguable we haven't seen a worse political figure since Stalin died. The only difference between him and men like that is that his attempts to commit the same atrocities is that said attempts are in the future and not the past.

 

[Gus Money]

It's a dumb, lazy argument. The democrats are far from perfect, but to say that both sides are the same is flat out dumb.

Both sides aren't trying to terminate health coverage for millions of people (and drinking beer while they're doing it).

Both sides aren't trying to suppress the right to vote for poor people and people of color.

Both sides aren't telling poor people to just pull themselves out of poverty without providing any type of framework or opportunity to do so.

Sure the democrats have plenty of problems, we know this. Are there racist democrats? Yes! Nobody has said otherwise.

But do the democrats use blatantly racist dog whistle tactics to drum up votes among poorly educated white people who fear people of color? Are they avoiding their constituency in town halls so they don't have to answer for screwing over their base? Not the last time I checked.

 

[DEAD7]

Domestically they are very different.

 

[levitate]

• Hillary would not have nominated Gorsuch to the Supreme Court (a decision with decades-long consequences...)

• Hillary would not have supported the repeal of the ACA.

• Hillary would not have proposed a budget that reduced EPA funding by 30%

• Hillary would not have appointed racist ass Sessions as Attorney General

• Hillary would not have nominated unqualified ass DeVos as Secretary of Education.

I can go on...

These are clear differences that have a direct effect on us as citizens.

FOH to anyone that says that "there's no difference" or "voting doesn't matter". fukk off. Instant ignore. It's not up for debate.
