    In other words, “both sides?”

    One party is demonstrably worse. The other is failing to oppose them sufficiently.

    Their sins are far from equal as you anecdotally suggest.

      The “good cop” is trying to fuck you over just as much as the “bad cop”.

      So yes, bOTh SidES are allied with eachother against you and I. The sins cannot be compared against eachother because they are shared.

        Nah, eating poop is way worse than smelling it.

        You’re vastly oversimplifying to fit whatever your hidden agenda is and I don’t care to dig through your profile to find out what that might be.

          I am asking you to stop rolling in the poop!

          Good for you on not eating it, but please recognize the pigsty you’re rolling around in.

            I get it, you’re a “third parties in the US have a decent chance of winning if you just throw your vote away and help Donald Trump win” kind of person.

              Oh, I’m much worse! I’m a ‘your “democracy” is a sham and things will continue to deteriorate until you understand and start acting like it’ kind of person.

                  You’re the one who’s encouraging apathy. If you want people to come to your party then the bare minimum you need is that it can’t smell like shit, much less be a pigsty that everyone who shows up is forced to roll around in.

                  “Voter apathy” isn’t the problem. I’m certainly not apathetic, but you seem to be when it comes to the shit you’re rolling in. Again, I’m proud of you for not eating it but that’s not that much of an improvement.

                    What you’re missing is that politics is compromise, by definition.

                    I don’t like that the Democrats don’t align with my beliefs perfectly, but I’d rather vote against Trump than whine about the Democrats not being perfect and stay home, which is what a massive portion of American voters did, thanks in large part to the “Why bother when the Democrats are just as bad?” messaging that is completely a PsyOp that helps Trump whether you’re doing it on purpose or not.
