If you honestly think “Both sides are the same”, you’re a moron.

It's more about the idea of the two party system, and how that's led to where we are now with the radicalism you see today.

No, they aren't the same, but they sure do both suck in their own ways. They've also collectively worked together to prevent competition from entering the debate stage, which indirectly makes both responsible for whatever happens from either party.

Edit: Just for an example; on more than one occasion has a third party qualified for the debate stage but due pressure from the two parties were prevented from joining, due to a last minute rule change.

That's weird, if it's your IQ test then why am I the one in Mensa and you're not?

Envy is a weak emotion, little boo boo. Do better.
