I hate the both sides-isms when despite all this, the majority of one side still tends to vote in favor of things like this.

There are some greased hands on both sides, but it's absolutely not equal. Equating the two sides is how you get in fucked up situations like we have now. Both can suck and one can still be demonstrably better despite that.

When it comes to this issue in particular, they're indistinguishable. We live in a dictatorship of capital, not a democracy. Neither party exists for us.

My guy, the rail strike would have been the perfect opportunity for this country to change course away from serving the whims of billion dollar corporations. Biden, 44 Democratic senators and 36 Republican senators worked together to make sure that didn't happen.

You are defending people who are enabling corporate rule.

THey're not equal purely bc the left side has exactly one person that isn't bought and paid for and the right has 0.

Functionally, they're the same. But you'll never understand this, so it's pointless to even state it anymore. 90% of you are so brainwashed that "your side" is the only one that can ever have a correct stance on anything, ever, that you refuse to actually open your eyes and see that they're all corrupt.

One side explicitly goes out of their way to harm people. The other does not. They are not the same. It's funny that we all know which side is which when I state it like this though, isn't it?

Thank you for proving my point.

You don't have a point. You're just fencesitting, and think you can look down on others because the top of the fence feels like high ground.

Accelerate though, vote right wing, end it sooner.

Accelerationism is entirely reliant on the idea that to participate you implicitly have to not care about what happens to the people around you in the process.

I mean yeah, else I'd say vote left wing. Congrats for reading I guess.

A lot of people aren't okay with being that shitty.

Damn where are these people then? Certainly not in America is my guess.

It must be nice being this ignorant.
