The "both sides" crew somehow thinks the side that supports unions and civil rights and voting rights and due process and raising the minimum wage and not constantly starting wars is equal to the side that wants the opposite of all of that, and the tankies here think liberals are much worse, because tankies are just closet fascists that think yellow looks better on a red background than black and white.
Honestly, I thought the added "difficulty" of using Lemmy would keep idiots like that off this platform, but apparently not. Or foreign agents/bots are infiltrating Lemmy. Probably a combination of both.
If you look at both sides and think "same", you need to acknowledge you are not an intelligent or informed individual and you need to work on your education.

"Look how bad the other side is"
Doesn't work when your side just fell asleep at the wheel and let the opposition take control. And that's the charitable take. Your side decided it was more important to fund a genocide than combat all the scary things in the first list.
If you're American, people like you are the reason Trump is president. He was always going to genocide Palestine, and if you're saying so was Harris, then they're equal on that and you should elect Harris. Then AFTER she's in office you can pressure and throw mud and do everything possible to get the US to stop.
