Kevin Leecaster<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.horrorhub.club/@jacklaridian" class="u-url mention">@<span>jacklaridian</span></a></span> <br />It's the voters responsibility to make the best choice. Jon Stewart is just another talking head taking the easy way by sticking with the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BothSidesAreBad" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BothSidesAreBad</span></a> narrative that gave us Trump in the first place sadly.</p><p>The choice is crystal clear, but people getting paid to talk have to try to make it into a difficult decision.</p>
Kevin Leecaster<p>The modern GOP in one toot:</p><p>Chip Roy released a video on twitter going after Gaetz: </p><p>“You want to come at me and call me a RINO you can kiss my ass! You go around talking your big game and thumping your chest on Twitter. Come in my office and have a debate mother —-!”</p><p>How is our media going to <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BothSidesAreBad" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BothSidesAreBad</span></a> this shit I'm wondering. I expect that Doug Balloon will predict it pretty well.</p>
Kevin Leecaster<p>They're welcome to their opinion I reckon, but it seems dangerous to me to not acknowledge that we have a two-party system of government.</p><p>The reason that we still are stuck with so many anachronisms is because voter turnout is so low too, especially in the Democratic primaries.</p><p>I do take umbrage with the accusation that our efforts to fight the fascists is what causes it though. Ranked Choice Voting is the solution too btw. </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BothSidesAreBad" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BothSidesAreBad</span></a> they say without acknowledging that one's worse.</p>
James Britt<p>Thing I've noticed about <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BothSidesAreBad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BothSidesAreBad</span></a> people is that if I start ragging on the more liberal/democratic side (whomever that may be), they are all for it and join in. </p><p>If I start ragging on the not-liberal, not-democratic side, they immediately jump in with "Well but what about [liberal/democratic side person]!??!!"</p><p>Every time. <br> <br>They use "both sides are bad" because they have no positive defense for their (secretly) preferred side. So they make bullshit equivalencies.</p>

Kevin Leecaster<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.energy/@jgkoomey" class="u-url mention">@<span>jgkoomey</span></a></span> <br />The Direct Air Capture of carbon dioxide that you're attacking is from the Democrat's Inflation Reduction Act and all of the social media negativity helps reinforces our nonvoters' contention that voting doesn't matter because <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BothSidesAreBad" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BothSidesAreBad</span></a> </p><p>Until after our next elections, for me supporting Democratic policies and the legislation and executive policies they've managed to get introduced despite GOP opposition should be promoted or at least not attacked.</p>
Kevin Leecaster<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@mike805" class="u-url mention">@<span>mike805</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@farhanasultana" class="u-url mention">@<span>farhanasultana</span></a></span> <br />Democrats passed the biggest climate legislation in the history of the universe that set the U.S. economy on a trajectory to wean itself off of fossil fuels in a decade yet there are still ignorant people saying <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BothSidesAreBad" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BothSidesAreBad</span></a> I see.</p>
Kevin Leecaster<p>Really curious if the GOP keeps this as their official platform in 2024 and how it works out for them and if the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BothSidesAreBad" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BothSidesAreBad</span></a> people that never vote choose to make an exception now that it's gotten so hot since they didn't bother voting before.</p>
Kevin Leecaster<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/@ai6yr" class="u-url mention">@<span>ai6yr</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.pixels.pizza/@pixel" class="u-url mention">@<span>pixel</span></a></span> <br />Yes perhaps, but it sure seems to me that Democrats pretty much constantly get blamed for not doing enough on social media which just tends to suppress voter turnout because the message so many of the politically inactive take away is <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BothSidesAreBad" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BothSidesAreBad</span></a> </p><p>So, I'm just expressing my concern that I think more people should be trying to keep the Republicans from retaking control over climate, energy, etc. policies.</p>
Kevin Leecaster<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://sfba.social/@Frances_Larina" class="u-url mention">@<span>Frances_Larina</span></a></span> <br />Democrats showed up to vote!</p><p>The Americans that think that <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BothSidesAreBad" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BothSidesAreBad</span></a> are the ones that didn't show up to vote and I'm tired of them getting a free ride while all of the bad things that Republicans do are blamed on us that are actually trying to do something about it.</p>
Kevin Leecaster<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mas.to/@BlackAzizAnansi" class="u-url mention">@<span>BlackAzizAnansi</span></a></span> <br />It may just be because it's my field, but the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BothSidesAreBad" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BothSidesAreBad</span></a> trolls seem to be particularly vocal and thereby receive tons of press in the climate activism arena.</p><p>Sad fact is though that the more they whinge on social media about how bad Democrats are it will just lead to more people continuing to not vote leading to the GOP taking over climate policy yet again which is why we're in this mess.</p><p>Republicans are in charge of the House because 6,500 people chose not to vote</p>
Kevin Leecaster<p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ClimateProgress" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ClimateProgress</span></a> </p><p>Even more so for a Murdoch owned rag than for the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BothSidesAreBad" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BothSidesAreBad</span></a> New York Times, I won't link to the Wall Street Journal, but seeing them tout <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/PassivHaus" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PassivHaus</span></a> is great to see tbh.</p><p>Personally, I think that any architect or builder that contributes to any new building that's not net-zero is a climate science denier at this point in our <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ClimateCrisis</span></a></p>
Kevin Leecaster<p>I know that rational people find it hard to believe, but there are still a ton of Americans that are willing to let the GOP still keep power because they think that <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BothSidesAreBad" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BothSidesAreBad</span></a> in our two-party political system that we've allowed to keep control over our political landscape here.</p><p>Well, if you care about our <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ClimateCrisis</span></a> and you're willing to do something about it than you <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Vote" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Vote</span></a> and you <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/VoteBlue" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>VoteBlue</span></a> </p><p>This is just a plain undeniable truth.</p>
Kevin Leecaster<p>Anyone on here still asserting that <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BothSidesAreBad" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BothSidesAreBad</span></a> so why bother voting?</p><p>Conservative groups have crafted a plan for demolishing the federal government’s efforts to counter global warming for their fossil fuel funders.</p><p>The 920-page blueprint, whose hundreds of authors include former Trump administration officials, would go far beyond past GOP efforts to slash environmental agencies’ budgets or oust “deep state” employees.</p><p><a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/07/28/far-right-climate-plans-00107498" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">politico.com/news/2023/07/28/f</span><span class="invisible">ar-right-climate-plans-00107498</span></a></p>

Stop trying to pin the KKK on us Democrats with your <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BothSidesAreBad" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BothSidesAreBad</span></a> crap because we're a big tent party or just come right out and say that you don't care whether Democrats or Republicans are in power because your privilege protects you from the harm that the GOP causes us.</p>
Kevin Leecaster<p>I sure do hope that all of the Americans that didn't bother voting in 2020 because <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BothSidesAreBad" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BothSidesAreBad</span></a> are grateful now about all the hard work we put in towards making certain that Biden is POTUS during situations like this instead of that orange clown and will <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/VoteBlue" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>VoteBlue</span></a> next election. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Russia" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Russia</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Ukraine</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/GOTV" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GOTV</span></a></p>
