    The “both sides” argument is not about how Rs are “not monstrous…” because they unequivocally are ghouls…

    …but instead - about how aside from a handful of key issues like abortion, “both sides” effectively only do the bidding of the rich.

    People who exclaim “both sides” mockingly only stand to ridicule their cohorts who rightfully criticize democratic leaders willing to continue Trump-era immigration policies, Republican-supported legislative efforts to continue providing weapons to countries engaging in acts many voters within their party do not support, and who generally hobble and hinder efforts to tangibly improve the lives of the overwhelming majority of Americans.

    “Both sides” are not equal in every way, but they are in enough that it merits making criticisms and comparisons on at least some aspect of the actions of the Democratic party.

    All that being said, you should still support Democrats over Republicans, but we - as voters - should be pointing out at the ballot box - especially in primaries - what sort of behaviors will get you replaced by a better candidate within the party.
