    Is it “both sides are the same” Saturday already?! Boy how time flies when the right is in full control again, destroying everything again, after the left rebuilt it the best they could in their limited time in control again… but it’s the same coin so you should just stay home and not vote, right op?!

      It depends on your side:

      if you vote for the right, then you are likely to win with both sides, so you don’t really need to vote.

      if you are for the left, you absolutely need to vote for the left AND to do not let them in peace once elected, because without being pushed and forced to do a left politic, they are likely to do a right one.

      What?

      More like we’re too busy fighting each other to realize who is largely perpetuating these fights and who directly benefits from a distracted populace.

      I’m legitimately surprised I had to spell this out.

        Are you confusing liberals with left wingers?

        The left have been very loudly pushing back against the billionaire class for a very long time

          Yeah, the actual left’s whole deal is fighting billionaires.

          I really need everyone to stop conflating liberals with the left, and also learn some basic political theory before speaking on it.

      I think what OP is trying to say is it’s not left vs right, it’s poor vs rich. That the billionaires use issues of policy as a distraction from the inequality and wealth gap between us and them.
