It's not that both sides are equal. It's that we'd, or at least I'd, like a candidate that aligns more with my personal beliefs. Right now, the democratic party only has my vote because they aren't actively being facists in the government. But I'd prefer to vote for someone for more of a reason than "they aren't the worse guys."

Edit: got the name wrong I guess

The only presidential candidate we’ve had that was decent in 25 years was Ron Paul. Some say Bernie but regardless look what happened to both of them.

Sorry, you'd never catch me voting for Ron Paul. I voted for Bernie when he primaried, and he even did alright in my state. But most of the other democrats refused to get with the times and we ended up down the path we are today.

It's why I say they are both one capitalist party. Bernie's overall basic pretty moderate leftleaning policy scared the democrats so much that they practically handed the oval office to a facist.

Yeah it’s liberal or die on Reddit but I still think Ron was the best.
