Both sides are corrupt, not "the same"
And not the same corrupt, and that corruption doesn't mean they deliver the exact same outcome.
Yep. But on the idea of the corruption alone the outcome is what benifites the individual politician.
There's things happening right now that the middle saying "both sides are the same" should be the least of anyone's worries. We're now not only making the right the enemy but we are now attacking the middle, which has pretty much zero power and hasn't done much of note to make everyone an enemy.
We need to stop focusing on what Joe Jackass thinks and believes and start to focus our hate on the government system itself. We're on the fast road to self destruction if everything is done out of hate and to stick it to' them'
One side is more corrupt than the other.
Which side that is, I leave as an exercise to the reader. But I assure you one side is worse, and that means we have to vote for the other side.
Corruption is OK as long as one is the lesser of two evils.
