Comment on Charles Barkley rips politicians for intently dividing Americans: 'Both parties suck'

They do!

Of course only one parties main representative took us out of the Paris Climate Accord, WHO, banned Trans and non-binary genders, pardoned over a thousand insurrectionists, and made weirdly aggressive threats against some of our biggest allies… on the first day they took power.

Which isn’t even speaking of all the policies and appointments they’ve made over the last several decades that have negatively impacted everyone but the already rich and powerful. To a degree that far outpaces the “other side”.

I don’t disagree that they both make decisions that ultimately lead to pain for the majority of people, and most especially the most vulnerable and the most different… but one does it significantly more than the other.

We are indeed inclined to think that the party we align with least is the most dangerous one. Few people are truly unbiased.

  Almost sounds like you’re suggesting that people think that one party is more dangerous than the other merely because of partisan biases.
  
  I’ll readily agree that both parties suck. I will strongly disagree that they suck equally. It’s not even close, honestly.

    That is fine, it’s all part of the bias.
    
    For my part I think the Democrat Party is worse and guess what? I’m on the right. There’s no escaping your biases.

    You’re not speaking from bias, but pure propogandized flavor aid levels of delusion.

    The right in America does not believe all citizens should have equal rights. Morally speaking they are not equivalent.

    Only if you believe that.

    Just because you think truth is relative doesn’t mean it actually is. If two people have opposing perspectives about reality, you only have to look at reality to determine which is correct.

  One of the two parties does not believe everyone should have equal rights. That is a problem.
