Most of the time this exact meme is reposted by a red fascist zealot though

It’s so funny to see Alex Jones present himself as above left-right politics despite constantly spewing far right BS.

Everytime I have a discussion with someone who says “both sides are the same”, they always end up voting right. I ask if both sides are the same why not vote left?

Damn this hits. I’ve worked with a lot of guys who “don’t vote, don’t pay attention” that are defacto conservative in their beliefs.

Because if you don’t pay attention you simply are ok with the status quo which is inherently conservative.

Let’s just start with the fact that American political system is super skewed to begin with and no actual left has any power.

Dems are highly pro-capitalist, moderately nationalist and merely call to strike a bit less horrible balance between the interests of people and businesses. This is not left, this is a bit better right.

This fallacy keeps people trapped in an idea that the only possible options are “good” ultra-capitalism and “greedy” ultra-capitalism, which is not true.

People that try to have “both sides heard” totally ignore that there are way more than two angles in this conversation and that Dems are not some sort of a political extreme. Reps, ironically, kinda are.

And Democrats often think they vote for something actually good, when it’s actually just a lesser evil. Keep that in mind, no matter what you decide.
