"Both sides same"
This is a real and legitimate threat. Dismissing it outright does just as much harm as you perceive the “both sides” argument you’re railing against. The only time it’s a legitimate problem is when it’s used to dissuade voters from voting. It still needs to be discussed so hopefully it can be fixed.
They're not the same, but they are both anti-union and pro-corporation.
Indisputable.
... and they're working together to fuck you.
"I have no concept of nuance. Red party bad, blue party good. Any opinion other than this is a Russian bot"
"I really need to stand up and say both sides bad, a month before a major election. Every needs to know RIGHT NOW!!1!!"
I've been consistently hating both parties since 2014, when I participated in my first election. Nice try though.
Bold to brag about your lack of political literacy for over a decade.
You don't know shit about me. Don't pretend you can ascribe what I know from a single comment.
Given the total lack of nuance in your comment and response, I'm confident ascribing plenty.
If you want nuance, I can give it to you. I've successfully formed a union that spans across 3 states, including Texas. It's one of the largest tech unions in North America. We got it through political messaging. Generally I consider anyone that can successfully get people to join a union for political reasons a pretty informed and nuanced person. But what do I know.
You seem not to know the difference between the parties so there's that.
And what gave that impression?
Anyone spouting both sides nonsense isn't a serious person.
You don't know anything about my political beliefs. You want to put me in a box so you can safely ignore me without analyzing your political beliefs. If unserious people are the ones forming radically militant unions, then I'd rather be with the unserious people instead of your brand of "serious"
Political beliefs mean fuck-all in the face of political reality. You just keep getting republicans elected with your beliefs and I'll keep trying to stop it here in reality.
I don't know if you knew this, but organizing unions is literally an intersection between political beliefs and political reality.
Maybe differentiate between candidates with a Democratic socialist platform and candidates subservient to the wealthy elite and corporations?
