Mind the distinction between “both sides are (equally) bad therefore I’ll do nothing” and “both sides are quite bad (but not necessarily equally bad)”.
Saying both sides are equally bad is indeed stupid and tactically bad. Saying one side is good and the other is bad is also stupid because both sides have a lot of blood in their hands and plan to continue it (to different degrees). Saying both sides are pretty bad but not equally bad is quite accurate to the situation. If we want positive change, we need to be willing to see the flaws, so let’s not paper over the Democratic party’s issues (of which there are many). Let’s also make the best we can out if the situation and make sure the Republican party has as little power as possible, because miraculously they’re far worse.
The only border crisis is what the state is doing to migrants there.
