This is dogwhistling on your previous point. The appeal to "both sides are bad" is kinda pointless when one side is attempting to overturn election results, and the other side has a wide enough tent to contain people who would've been considered part of the other party a year ago.
I'm not under the impression that the Democrats are all that great, but as long as they have something worse to point at they're able to hide in plain sight. And to be fair, it's just like, not even a close competition. I disagree with 80% of the Democratic party, and even the 80% I disagree with is more reasonable than any Republican who has signed an agreement to never raise taxes.
So your appeal to "both sides are bad" is either bad for the point you're trying to make (Capitalism = Bad), or it's a dog-whistle/red-herring you could back away from when someone called you out for it. I lean towards the latter.
P.S. Side note, if you don't understand there are implications to what you're saying that people will respond to then you're responsible for keeping comments very reddit-hive-mind-like, for not being able to understand what you yourself are implying.
- swed420 3y agoWhat I'm implying is nothing as complicated as you're making it out to be. As for defending Dems as a lesser evil, none of that will matter on the current climate trajectory. But Don't Look Up if that helps you feel better.
