no one is saying that
People on nearly every political thread are saying that.
I haven't seen it but I've seen a lot of people claiming it is.
It's rampant in mainstream media.
can you link that?
I mean, if you're genuinely interested, read the new York times, also search bothsidesism. Have fun!
if you could really support your case, I wouldn't need to do the research for you.
Yeah... I was right to assume this was not genuine curiosity.
It’s less about explicitly saying they’re the same, it’s using whataboutism when criticizing the right and giving equal weight/legitimacy to “experts” on both sides.

It's the standard conservative defense when they are called out for being sub-human pieces of shit.
My parents were watching 60 minutes last night and they discussed the stolen electors and the efforts to steal the election. To which ones response is that well Biden is so bad they still want him. When asked why they didn't find another candidate there is nothing but that is who the GOP wants. They just say everything is a lie now so they can ignore whatever they choose and say the Democrats are just as bad. Pretty much "Both sides" as it gets.
Edit: They don't like that I say all Democrat and Republicans should be voted out and removed then.
Keep fighting the good fight. I am saddened by the loss of so many of my family members to conservatism. They chose to make enemies of normal people. So now they stew in their world of bigotry, wondering why their closest family members won't talk to them anymore.
Lol I was saying that back when these claims were sane.
But that shit is waaaay out. Being a centrist, I guess I have to support "left" now....right went over horizon.
I’ve voted as a “compassionate conservative” for over 30 years, and without changing views I’m now a bit left of Biden. It’s been crazy to watch.
