@cosvak That empty narrative is infamously known as the “Tweedle-Dee, Tweedle-Dumb,” “Not a dimes worth of difference,” “Both Sides are exactly the same,” theories. The stock in trade of Nader, Greenwald, Moore, Sarandon, Stein and RFK, Jr. It’s noise that only dispirits voters. Please don’t make more of it.
Clearly you feel like your post was misinterpreted. That happens. Social media is an imperfect medium and it is possible to mistake emphasis. We certainly need a shorthand way of disagreeing with the current administration, but acknowledging such criticism does not mean any wavering in electoral support considering the prospective horror of a second Trump term.
Regret you got lumped in with some of the general "they're both the same" crowd. Thanks for clarifying your position.
Perhaps the lesson is to try to be unambiguously clear in social media posts, particularly around subjects that are hot button issues. Sarcasm is particularly fraught.
The subject of this administration's shortcomings is a tough one, because there are a lot of provocateurs who are pushing the "voting doesn't matter... both the same" meme. Seriously think we need a good shorthand way to say whatever the concern, will be voting for him, because Trump is an unmitigated horror.
Like, "Not saying won't vote for the guy, I am..." and maybe say why.
The point is the emphasis. It's a crucial election, and unfortunately we only have two choices: Democracy (with its flaws) or Fascism. This stark choice overrides everything, and we only get to fix what is wrong with our democracy if we emerge with it intact. Otherwise we may be looking at generations of darkness. Anything that undermines this message is putting the result at risk.
The Corruption Caravan is making its way across Illinois to urge Senator Durbin to use his power as chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee to hold the corrupt Supreme Court accountable.
Thank you to all of the Illinois Indivisibles who are raising awareness with the Corruption Caravan!
Recalling that this is called "oligopy" as distinct from "monopoly" and suggestive of a political framework called "oligarchy" to which we are well on our way.
Putting Costello on (without Abbott), made the defense look like everything the prosecution said was not only true, but understated the depth of depravity both in personality and acts committed by their client.
