It's the voters responsibility to make the best choice. Jon Stewart is just another talking head taking the easy way by sticking with the #BothSidesAreBad narrative that gave us Trump in the first place sadly.
The choice is crystal clear, but people getting paid to talk have to try to make it into a difficult decision.
The modern GOP in one toot:
Chip Roy released a video on twitter going after Gaetz:
“You want to come at me and call me a RINO you can kiss my ass! You go around talking your big game and thumping your chest on Twitter. Come in my office and have a debate mother —-!”
How is our media going to #BothSidesAreBad this shit I'm wondering. I expect that Doug Balloon will predict it pretty well.
They're welcome to their opinion I reckon, but it seems dangerous to me to not acknowledge that we have a two-party system of government.
The reason that we still are stuck with so many anachronisms is because voter turnout is so low too, especially in the Democratic primaries.
I do take umbrage with the accusation that our efforts to fight the fascists is what causes it though. Ranked Choice Voting is the solution too btw.
#BothSidesAreBad they say without acknowledging that one's worse.
Thing I've noticed about #BothSidesAreBad people is that if I start ragging on the more liberal/democratic side (whomever that may be), they are all for it and join in.
If I start ragging on the not-liberal, not-democratic side, they immediately jump in with "Well but what about [liberal/democratic side person]!??!!"
Every time.
They use "both sides are bad" because they have no positive defense for their (secretly) preferred side. So they make bullshit equivalencies.

Somehow we've got to make it clear that the people that don't vote because #BothSidesAreBad are no better than are MAGAts.
They're essentially saying that they're privileged enough to not have to worry about what the damage GOP policies cause to people's lives or our planet.

The Direct Air Capture of carbon dioxide that you're attacking is from the Democrat's Inflation Reduction Act and all of the social media negativity helps reinforces our nonvoters' contention that voting doesn't matter because #BothSidesAreBad
Until after our next elections, for me supporting Democratic policies and the legislation and executive policies they've managed to get introduced despite GOP opposition should be promoted or at least not attacked.
@ai6yr @pixel
Yes perhaps, but it sure seems to me that Democrats pretty much constantly get blamed for not doing enough on social media which just tends to suppress voter turnout because the message so many of the politically inactive take away is #BothSidesAreBad
So, I'm just expressing my concern that I think more people should be trying to keep the Republicans from retaking control over climate, energy, etc. policies.
