to “both sides” something there first have to be 2 different sides, not two right wings of the fucking bird in nazi insignias.

When presented with the choice between the arsonist who wants to burn your house down slowly vs the arsonist who wants to burn your house down quickly, choose the arsonist who wants to burn your house down slowly, so you have more opportunities to escape or mitigate the damage.

Edit:
Why the downvotes? How is this analogy inconsistent with what was just described?

what if we shoot the arsonists 🤔

I mean… It might make the other arsonist think twice.

But it might also just make the arsonists shoot all the firefighters and then set the whole town on fire. Still might be worth a try, if someone was willing

I think my analogy is passing the bounds of its usefulness 😅

I dont disagree, if voting in amerikkka didnt involve doxing urself and i lived in a state where it made a difference and i had nothing better to do that day i would vote for the dems, but they are both arsonist and both want to burn ur house down, they are on the same side and only disagree in matters of detail.

The detail/degree matters.
Its crazy to prefer the speedy arsonist, or to leave the decision up to other arsonists, when you and your family are in the house

choose the arsonist who wants to burn your house down slowly, so you have more opportunities to escape or mitigate the damage.

Except the dems refuse to be pushed left and constantly move right so really you’re just gonna die a slower death. I’d rather go out waving my middle finger at both arsonists

But you’re waving while standing inside the burning house where they can’t see you. Your protest just makes it more likely that the speedy arsonist gets the chance, and does nothing to harm either of the arsonists.

i could copy my entire last response to u here again and it would be equally valid, because u have said literally nothing that u didnt already say and that i didnt already respond to, to safe myself the annoyance how about u just read it again untill u get it.

Your priorities just make no sense to me.

Yes both parties are bad, but voting for one is voting for more opportunities to save yourself.
The decision to prioritize giving them the middle finger where nobody can see it over helping yourself is something I can’t get my head around. Your resistance does nothing but help the speedy arsonist.

It feels like you’re just listing off talking points to score cool points with a bunch of Lemmy edgelords.
