Let’s be honest here, both parties are full of shit. During Biden term 3500 students had their visa revoked due to anti Zionist protests, let alone canary mission bullshit.
And do not forget about insider trading and that both parties are funded by private companies
He didn’t say anything about exactly the same, just that they both suck. Dems want to shoot you with .22 caliber rounds in the extremities cause it’s not lethal, while the Trumptards want to shoot off your arms with explosive .50 cal to get the “necessary amputation” done quick. One of those is 100% objectively worse, but some people would ideally like an option that doesn’t involve getting shot at all. Pointing out that getting shot sucks regardless of who is pulling the trigger shouldn’t be all that controversial.
The problem with your analogy is the third choice wasn’t don’t get shot. We had three choices.
Choose to get shot in the arm with a .22
Choose to get shot in the arm with a .50
Do nothing and get shot in the arm with a .50
This wasn’t the trolley car problem. Simple game theory can be applied.
I agree the Dems need to do better but Trump is objectively worse in every way. Forget his political views, he’s just a garbage human being. He’s everything that’s bad about humanity, or at least of capitalism, and it saddens me that 60% of my fellow Americans are just cool with that.
Yeah, I agree, but the problem is that there is never a 3rd option and so option 1 has gone over decades from getting just getting a purple nurple to getting shot by airsoft, then to a BB gun, then a pellet gun, and now a .22. Everything only ratchets one direction.
The Two Party system and game theory has put us in this position, the elite class has captured both options so they are fine no matter what, and the majority of lawmakers on both sides object to voting methods that will allow the possibility of third parties to emerge.
The question becomes which option 2 is “not bad” enough to risk allowing when the opportunity is taken to break the machinery behind option 1 and replace it with something better? We have no guarantee that anything after this will constitute a better opportunity.
The Republicans should do the same, take this chance with Trump having hijacked the whole system to jettison it a remake a functional conservative/center right party without the likes of McConnell. Break the party, replace the politicians and make reforms like ranked choice or STAR voting so everything isn’t zero-sum.
Being an open Nazi party vs. “only” openly supporting Nazis doesn’t really make the choice much easier.
Obviously Dems would have been somewhat better, but I really can’t blame anyone with a conscience for voting third-party or not at all when both main parties are fucking horrible.

And Trump wants to deport 20 million people, yea, exactly the same.

BoTh SiDeS!!
They are not the same. One is an open Nazi party
