“When someone says both sides, its obvious they have not been watching the actions of the political parties. Lets look how they vote.” - /u/armored_cat

Really annoys me when I read apathetic people saying that Dems and Reps are the same. Yes, there’s a lot of crony corpos in the Dems side but they are in no way even close to the same. There’s a lot of stuff the Dems have done that I’m not a fan of, but are still not even close to being the same as Reps.

This is a great comment that outlines the stark differences on voting records that I archived so it wasn’t lost.

They are not the same, make sure you vote to keep the fascists out. Also vote in the primaries so we can get more progressive/populist representatives as candidates. Voting is not the only answer to salvage the future but it’s definitely a part of the answer.

    I used to compare voting to a choice between a punch in the stomach vs a kick in the balls.

    Nowadays it’s a bit closer to a punch in the stomach vs repeatedly stabbed with a dirty needle by a guy hearing voices.

    Like yeah, both sides are bad, but one is a LOT worse than the other.
