You might be a Bothsider and not even know it....

[the elastic]

If you think modern Dems are racist in any shape, form or fashion....you're a Bothsider

If you don't believe there are more than two genders or don't agree with LGBTQ+....you're a Bothsider

If you believe that American Blacks' needs are not being met by the Democratic Party....you're a Bothsider

If you have any criticism towards both the Democrat and GOP Party simutaneously and think America in general is corrupt....you're a Bothsider

The difference between a Bothsider and an outright c00n/MAGAt is that the Bothsider is open to discussion and won't outright insult you for asking questions or bringing up valid criticism. The MAGA c00n will shamelessly only bring up criticism for the Dems, ignoring all facts about the Civil Rights era Democrats aka modern Republicans being "out in the open" with their anti-Blackness. The MAGA c00n will act like modern Dems are more bigoted and prejudiced than the modern GOP and use the "Dems were racist in the Civil Rights era" defense. The MAGA c00n will try to legitimize Trump.


BEING A BOTHSIDER DOESN'T MAKE YOU A c00n!

KNOW THE DIFFERENCE!

It's one thing to be critical of your party of choice to do more.

It's another thing to want the party to lose to another party.

Bothsiders on this board have never been concerned with what's best, policy-wise, for African Americans, just steering people towards protesting Democrats every 4 years. Which pretty much makes them Republicans.

Your description of the "Maga c00n" is exactly how bothsides pro-Trump weirdos like @TripleAgent post everyday. They act like Republicans are above criticism, don't exist, and are not our concern since we dont vorlte for them, nd will cherry pick shyt from half a century ago to call Dems "racist."

Both sides nikkas is cowards who want to insert themselves into politics but then hold their hands and take no accountability for it. Just standing on the sidelines as pseudo intellects offering nothing and directing most of their criticism at the liberal party that they know is doing more for people but because they have such a childish chip on their shoulder about genders and bullshyt they have to pretend to be forsaken victims of "Both sides." However the hell that makes sense.

in fact, from what ive observed, Id say both sides nikkas is really just anti-Dem, anti-liberal black Republicans who don't want to take responsibility for the Republican Party they either passivelly or acti ely support. So they run this silly game of covering up their partisan criticism of one party

I vote. I am a liberal. I vote Democrat. And I take accountability for my vote. Whether the candidate I chose is a failure, or a success, or says something stupid. Most people clearly don't have that courage to stand and take accountability for their politics, so they do the bothsides bullshyt instead.

I have no respect for nikkas that wanna critique and influence politics with no skin in the game. If you don't believe in American politics and think both sides are on the same team, then just stfu, live your life, and stop trying to influence people who choose to participate. Your opinion on politics as a non-voter means nothing and it is politically influenced towards one's side or the other whether you realize it or not. It's not that intellectual.

 

[LuuqMaan]

This should be fun

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

We do the both side, the both sides, yeah

 

[Justin Nitsuj]

Which practically makes it easier for me to say fukk both sides. Throw both parties in the trash and start something fresh and new

 

[TEH]

Vote the way you like … don’t let anyone sway your opinions by high pressure sales tactics …

 

[UpNext]

Y'all lame as hell for creating some weird describer for people who don't borderline mindlessly follow a single political party.

 

[tuckgod]

The Democratic party has actively worked to destroy foundational black Americans by any means necessary since this nation was founded.

Republicans don’t give a fukk about anything but business, especially not social justice, or correcting the wrongs of the past.

That’s what we’ve always been stuck between.

 

[The Pledge]

I vote based off local laws that directly benefit me, as far as presidential shyt, it’s all moot. #DeezNuts2024

 

[MajesticLion]

Imagine being concerned with other people's labels that not only don't serve you, but actively work to keep you stuck.


Unceasing psyops.

At best this is a half truth. Bad faith tactics like this is why bothsiders aren't taken seriously and why they never politically achieve anything. Its a losing strategy that only inspire voter apathy and ironically serves extremists on both sides of the isle. By refusing to focus on/attack one party, you strengthen the very thing you complain about.


And this is all by design. The less the public is politically active, the more power both parties hold over us. GG

 

[Mastamimd]

I'm more of a "no sider" than anything

 

[Remote]

One of the main issues (but not the only issue) with the Both Sides people is that they seek to create a false equivalency.

That's THE HEART of the problem.

They are incapable, or rather...UNWILLING to address any criticism about what is clearly the worse political party. They ignore it and choose to attack the flaws of the other side.

And when you challenge this obvious, glaring problem, they fall back to a convenient argument of "Well, we already know Republicans aint shyt so there's no point in addressing their failures, corruption, and outright cruelty."

It's disingenuous to suggest both sides are the same because they each have flaws and failures.
If a person cannot understand that, they are ignorant at best.
If they can understand that and still refuse to acknowledge it, they are propagandists.

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

You can not support fags and still be liberal.

Nobody believes that Dems are not racist because they are Dems.

Most believe that rethugs actually embrace racism openly. That's the distinction. Crakkkas are still crakkkas at the end of the day. .

A bothsider is usually a someone pretending to be on the fence when they are in fact not. That's the spirit behind the name. It's said in mockery. A both sider is not an undecided voter he is just cosplaying as one.

The jist of it. False equivalency, false flagging and generally disingenuous in character.
