Not as much. But I do notice you on every trump post insisting people are screaming both sides… and others taking legitimate criticism of biden as people screaming both sides.
“Both sides” is just one of those things centrists say when they know they’re wrong but don’t want to change.
Another common tactic/fallacy is exaggerating the claim. Example: saying something “screams” about “both sides”. The bit about screaming is unneeded and is just added to make it easy to argue against it.
That’s not the same and not what is meant as “both sides”. And again, people aren’t screaming. I’d maybe take your comment more seriously if it didn’t ignore things while adding a fallacy to discuss a common fallacy.
Both sides do have legitimate criticisms. It’s very important to be critical of elected leaders.
But there are for more severe criticisms on one side than the other.
That you don’t see it, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. There are tons of people posting daily the bullshit about both sides. I’d name them, but then I’d be banned for it.
Tons of people urging others not to vote. Tons of people saying both sides are the same- because of a single issue. And one they barely understand.
Don’t confuse the insistence that people get out and vote, and the calling out of bad actors anything other than what it is- an attempt to prop up American democracy and keep us from having to endure another four years of dictatorship.
Some people go out of their way to not understand or not see something.
It’s like a free ride when you’ve already paid
Oh they see it. They just like pretending it’s not a problem.
