Actually, the other side mostly wants things to stay the same. Their constituents, on the other hand, would like to see better healthcare, education, unions, and stronger safety nets. But since the other side aren’t fascists, their voters are stuck with them.

Correction: They SAY they want health care and education, get elected, and then spend their political capital making most people poorer, doing fascism, and genociding.

the media is owned by private individuals with their own agenda.

The democrats had the house, senate, and presidency for 4+ years. Where is that Healthcare?

Spoiler: Both sides are bad, they both get paid off. Its just that one side is really fucking honest with you right now ... to the point where they commit crimes in public because no one will do anything about it.

No, the media doesn't think that, the owners of the media wants the media to say that they're equal

Equal? Universal healthcare is derided as the delusions of radical extremists. A mere pipedream of anti-semitic tankies, if we're talking the gambit of American media.

A lot of world class dipshits on this very platform think both sides are equal. Getting pretty tired of reading

"Both sides are fascist, one's just more open about it."

Stupidest fucking sentiment I've ever had the displeasure of reading. Absolute lack of education and critical thinking skills to say shit like that.

To be honest what I really want is fully automated luxury gay space communism.

The media is just a billionaire propaganda machine. They have to make both sides sound equally right so both sides keep fighting each other instead of fighting the billionaires causing all the problems.

"Look how bad the other side is"

Doesn't work when your side just fell asleep at the wheel and let the opposition take control. And that's the charitable take. Your side decided it was more important to fund a genocide than combat all the scary things in the first list.

As do .ml and hexbear.

Which side wants healthcare and education? There's some independents that may want that but the two parties of the apparatchik are the same except one has a veneer to mask the racism. Lest we forget, both sides have bombing brown people schools in the middle east as a hobby...

Obviously the republicans are genuinely terrible people

But I'll give you an equivalence that actually holds up

Both parties have their snouts in the trough and depend on huge levels of external funding which completely undermines your democracy

That is a problem that needs to be fixed

As “the other side” don’t speak for me. I want guillotines and a substantial redistribution of wealth until we no longer have billionaires.

One side wants to enact fascism and the other side thinks they can stop them by dancing in frog costumes and compromising with said fascism by only doing fascism lite™

both sides are bad. One is just infinitely worse.

People refusing to vote for the lesser of two evils is what got us the worse evil!

do you even want healthcare, neoliberal community poster FoxtrotDeltaTango

It’s wild how often both sides gets used to blur real differences.
