I tried. It was exhausting. I'm better now.

MODERATORS
Past week, been seeing a lot of anti liberal stuff on lemmy. So, you've got people from the outside trying to destabilize the u.s. saying, both sides are the same, democrats are just as bad as Republicans. This creates a scenario that created Trump becoming president in the 1st place. It's done on purpose.
Now, I understand that democrats, liberals aren't perfect. But we have one side trying to set up detention camps, threatening to kill political rivals, consumed with hate. Other side trying at least to be better people.
I'm asking honestly, I would like to learn. Why is the both sides mindset becoming so prevalent?
Liberals aren't just not perfect, they are actively bad. Supporting Capitalism and refusing to budge an inch to even go for something tame like Medicare for All as the public radicalizes is a losing game. The Democrats already do have detention camps, and are not trying to be better people. You've bought that lie hook, line, and sinker, both the Dems and Reps ultimately serve Capital before the public.
That being said, I'll vote for Biden again. But the notion that the Democrats are just well-meaning, less than perfect people, rather than servants to Capital, is delusional.
So you are going to vote for something you know is actively bad? Wow. You're the problem.
When the choices are actively bad and actively worse than bad, I'll vote for actively bad while supporting movements to replace both options entirely.
There are degrees of bad. I'll vote for eating a week old sandwich over not voting at all and hoping other people don't vote for us all eating sandwiches filled with dog shit.
