I know it is in bad tone on HN, but did you read the rest of my comment? Asking because the part about the media was just one small piece and, imo, the least relevant point out of all that I’ve made.
And I’ve never said anything even close to resembling “both sides are the same.” They are not. But they are both contributing to the whole tearing things apart issue, just in very different ways.
> Why bother even voting?
Because I believe that voter participation is vital to preserving any semblance of a democracy.
- ZeroGravitas 3y agoThe comment you replied to was making a fairly clear case, which you quoted: > The U.S. has a 1 party problem. The other party is a big standard average Western centrist party at worst. Their entire point was about the false balance BS that enables this almost incredible level of dysfunction. And your reply is about how the Democrats really do have problems and your list is, in a word, weak. All of it, not just the "news media covering news" item I singled out. So you're doing exactly what the person you replied to was complaining about, and contributing to the problem.
