Both Sides Are Bad So Vote Republican.

God, growing up, I heard the equivalent of that so often from the less-lead-poisoned of my conservative community.

"Well, you don't really know what's true, and both sides lie. Really, both parties are just out for themselves. There's no difference between them."

"So you aren't voting?"

"Oh no, I'm definitely voting Republican."

That may be the worst acronym I've ever seen.

The late 90's to early 2000s were a terrible time on the internet in many ways and yet in may others it was the best of times.

Oh yeah, "The Smaller Of Two Evils" - they said in 2016. A few years later I asked: "how did that work out for you?" - embarrassed silence. One of the best I-told-you-so-moments I ever had.

asking Democrats to stop campaign like Bush-era neo-cons is now apparently a right wing position
