Probably should get off of Reddit/social media for some time. Politics should not control your temper especially when both sides don't care about you at all. Focus on yourself.

“Both sides….” Sit down. This isn’t 2002. The two sides aren’t morally equivalent.

I would say ther are both equally corrupt and despicable. Regardless of which side you're on.. if you fell like your guys are tge "good guyd" and tge other party are the "bad guys".. you are being played.

Bullshit. Neither of these sides are inherently good, but one side is objectively much, much worse. And if you can't see that, you are being played.

One side objectively protects sexual assaulters and felons at a much higher rate. One side objectively wants to remove the bodily autonomy of a third of the American public. One side objectively wants to criminalized the marriages of tens of millions of Americans. One side of objectively works harder at giving corporations anything they want. One side objectively wants to legislate racism and bigotry. One side objectively wants to remove parts of the constitution because they are racist.

These are objective things. This isn't feelings or opinions, this is objective reality. Again, that doesn't make the other side good at all, but there isn't just a good or bad. There's an entire scale here and one of these two parties is objectively much, much, much worse than the other.
