We laugh because when they say both sides they're thinking about left and right, but in reality left isn't even represented in our politics at all (be it US or UK and plenty others, but really all nation states, since leftists don't even believe they should exist), so they're really talking about two different coloured representations of the same side being the same, which they are. Both serve and worship capitalism, and therefore fascism.

Also I never said anything about not voting, that's what people like you who refuse to see the reality always like to insert to make yourselves feel superior for doing the bare minimum, I simply refuse to endorse someone so blatantly acting against my own interest and the interests of the country and its people, nor do I believe the vote I did cast will make any difference, because the system is designed to be irreformable, and as they say - if a vote changed anything, they wouldn't let us do it. No matter who is elected, the system ensures we remain in service of the owning class.

Also fuck linking that to me, assuming I must be ignorant because I don't agree with your uninformed centrist take when actually being disabled I have actively and consistently been on the direct receiving end of Tory cuts for 15 years, and have suffered greatly for it. Labour is literally offering me nothing different, worse, they make it crystal clear over and over and over again that they don't give a shit about people like me (not just disabled, but poor, and queer, to name a couple more groups they don't give a shit about).

So you feel free to pat yourself on the back for "getting rid of the Tories" all you like, but all you're doing is endorsing another shade of exactly the same shit, and letting people like me know how little you care about our safety and rights (nor your own, since first they may have come for us, but they'll be coming for you eventually).
