Whataboutism? What about what? I’m just a realist who’s lived in this country long enough to know that red vs blue is all just a show for the common folk to keep them divided. If either side actually wanted change, they’d be willing to compromise. Instead, we get constant outrage bait and empty promises.
It’s cute that people still think there are “good guys” in U.S. politics, but it’s that kind of willful ignorance and false hope that keep the rich rich and the poor poor.
One side is clearly worst than the other on every metric possible. So it’s fucking rich to bring the democrats in the conversation for whatever reason on a hypothetical scenario.
So get out of here with your good guy rhetoric. One side is better than the other by a long shot, and you know it.
I would wager my left nut that you vote right wing in elections, because that’s the same bullshit that non-assumed right wing peon is spouting.
But it was relevant. The comment I was replying to was saying “Republicans are bad,” so I just chimed in with “they’re all bad.”
And I’m not defending anyone. Neocons are just as bad as neolibs. My point is that we shouldn’t be so quick to believe proven liars just because they’re saying things we like to hear.
Get out of here with your whataboutism.

I shouldn’t need to point out the absurdity of this statement, but apparently I do: it’s absurd.
Problem is you’re doing it in defense of conservatives.
You can say “democrats are bad” when it’s relevant. Your statement isn’t relevant in any way, and that’s what makes it whataboutism.
