I don't know that I've ever seen anyone say that both sides are the same. I have seen people (when talking about the US) call out when both sides do the same things, such as: Put forth rapists and child-killers as candidates, back a genocide, send people to torture prisons, refuse to fix the healthcare system, etc.
B is indeed worse than A, but I've seen too many people use that to pretend that one side is "actually good", instead of being able to see that both sides are bad.
Then you haven't been here long enough.
According to tankies, both sides are liberal.
That's according to political science in general, including Wikipedia^[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative_liberalism]. The US is a liberal democracy.
Well said, both sides are bad, but one is so much worse than the other

One side has good PR so eveyone here bootlicks them
Well this is a blatant lie.
My god the irony.
This is false though.
One side is bad, the other side has some people who are bad.
That is not the same thing.
Well, if "some people" can get the whole side to support things like genocide, rapists, and child-killers, I'd say the whole side is bad.
Funny how you guys have latched onto Gaza like shit on velcro, but have not had a single thing to say about Sudan, Myanmar, and the Uighur's being ethnically cleansed.
You just found a hot button cause to latch onto, and are trying to sound morally superior to people.
My government is not supplying weapons to those other conflicts, of course I care more about the one that me and the people around me have more ability to stop. There's no merit to whining about the world, the point is to change it, and I have worked with people to disrupt weapons shipments to the Zionist Regime, just like the union movements before me did with shipments to Apartheid South Africa and Imperial Japan.
Funny how you guys have latched onto Facism like shit on velcro, but have not had a single thing to say about genocide, child-killing, and torture.

Dude, I don't think the state of Israel should exist period. Don't act like you know any of my positions regarding this issue.
Then don't act like you know any my positions regarding any of those issues. If you can't take the same criticism used against you, maybe it's bad criticism.
