How does this video discredit a 'both sides' argument? You can still be a leftist, vote and participate in politics, all while believing that both political parties are shyt. I'm a living testament to that fact.
the bothsides arguement is that both sides are equal...
understanding the lesser of two evils is the antithesis of the bothsides argument....

It's not an argument to support any party
it's an expression of political cynicism.It's ample bait for right-wingers, I agree, but that doesn't take away from the truth of the matter.
the truth lies in the reality of who utilizes the narrative for their political ideals ....It's not an argument to support any party
It's ample bait for right-wingers, I agree, but that doesn't take away from the truth of the matter.

Well there's the narrative and the truth so if right-wingers are able to weaponize the truth to their advantage it seems like liberals should stop ignoring the sentiment altogether and be more introspective.
the truth is the lesser of two evils...
both sides argument doesnt acknowledge this nuance...

You have a preconceived notion about the term 'both sides'.
Instead of constantly haranguing disillusioned voters, how about you inspire them to vote?
The lesser of two evils argument is not inspiring to people who don't follow politics closely, which is most people.
This is why Bernie Sanders was viewed so positively, even by working class republicans, give people a reason to vote for your candidate instead of calling them stupid.
1. preconceived??? I base my notion of it on observation....
What makes you say "preconceived"? Why even use that word?
2. I dont harangue disillusioned voters.... My words are directed to the majority of people who use that label (right wing apoligists)
3. the lesser of two evils is not inspiring.... but bothsides is? lol... disingenuous argument period....
an argument that offers no nuance on the difference vs a term that references the difference while recognizing imperfections.... you not even making sense here.

Yes, disenfranchised people have little trust in our institutions and when a politician speaks on it, they are seen as more trustworthy. This is why I mentioned Bernie.
If you were around real people, low income workers, you'd see that both sides isn't a right wing dog whistle. It's a popular sentiment.
1. if disenfranchised people understood the concept of the lesser of two evils they would fare better when it comes to political activity and activity behind policy.
2. The bothsides argument is a dog whistle, just like the “immigration crisis” is a dog whistle meant to influence low income workers
The video in OP clearly shows this.
The bothsides sentiment only benefits one specific party. If the ideal was organic/honest it wouldn’t benefit any party.
3. I know plenty of low income workers. What city are you in?

You have never once in your life seen any of the "both siders" jump into a politics to defend Democrats, or Joe Biden, and divert attention to the threat of Republicans.
You only see both sides show up to interfere with any productive criticism of Republicans and direct that anger back to Democrats, no matter how much they have to twist themselves into a pretzel to do so.
These idiots will repeat how "Republicans dont promise us nothing tho" when you point out their obvious partisan bias what the party is doing. As if us not voting for them makes them above criticism or concern or impact on our rights.
You have never seen a both sides mocking anyone for voting Republican. In fact they celebrate with gidy excitement the prospect of black people "leaving the Democrat party" and Republicans winning future elections as a result. Just the giddiest excitement from people who somehow hate both sides.
I have never seen a bothsider who is not deeply invested in engineering public opinions against Joe Biden and Democrats solely.
I have never ever seen a both sider who is actually neutral in his political opinion. In fact if you believe both sides are the same why even participate or be worried about something that makes no difference? It's like someone who comes over to your crib to watch smackdown every week just to bytch about the sport and remind you that wrestling is all fake,l and phony, but still wanna come over, watch, and have a heated annoying debate with you over which wrestler is the best.
Now imagine how pompous and foolish this person would look if he runs around imposing his opinion on which wrestlers suck on others whole ranting about how wrestling is all fake and phony at the same time.
And you sure as fukk have never seen a white man or woman, certainly not a Republican, being lectured by a black militant or anyone about both sides being the same. These people only want to influence and convert black people who vote Democrat. They are not at all interested in spreading their message to other voters.
These partisan hacks know what's at stake with elections, they know exactly what they're advocating for, and they just pretend not to so they can push their "fukk the Democrats" right wing propaganda. It aint hard to tell.
Like I said, if I felt both sides were the same and politics was meaningless I wouldn't participate in political debates or worry about who anyone is voting for or who is gonna win. But bothsiders are DEEPLY invested in knowing who's voting for Biden and trying to mock, shame, and "both sides" them away from doing so.
The shyt is indeed right wing propaganda that is only targeted at liberal voters with the sole intention of engineering election outcomes for Republicans. Being a both sider ain't as intellectual as yall would like to believe. Again shut up and stop worrying about "Republicans" or "Democrats" or what they're doing or what theyre not doing, or who's voting for who, or how much the President sucks, if politics is all meaningless to you. Let people who want to vote and participate do so. It doesn't effect you.

Font big as shyt
I think breaking apart each point in a numbered list is an inelegant way to post on a forum, so I'll just say this.
'Both sides' rhetoric agitates people into criticizing their parties on the left and the right, it's something I've seen with my own eyes. The incongruence you're seeing on the liberal end is the result of democrats refusing to embrace populism and progressivism, so those disaffected potential voters turn to conspiracy theorists or the right.
