          Saying both sides are the same or equally dangerous is absolutely counterproductive, I don’t do it. Pointing out that both sides can fall victim to the same kind of tribalism and that someone is using almost the exact same reasoning as a conservative to dismiss valid concerns from their own party is not “both sides bad”.

          Do think there are any similarities between both sides, or are they different in every way that you can see?

            They are similar in that they both receive money from corporations, and they both are resistant to change. Notice how I mentioned specifics, instead of trying to demoralize people so they don’t vote by spouting vague bullshit about how they are “the same”.
