All this “we” shit smacks entirely too much of cis het white middle class privelage

Nah, it's just the usual "both sides are bad" false equivalence bullshit.

Both sides are bad, but they are not equivalent, and we indeed shouldn't flatten the landscape.

In the interest of being constructive, what do you propose is the best way to voice this opinion off-handedly?

"Both sides are terrible, but at least one doesn't wanna kill me."

Or similar. Just damn the Dems with faint praise.
