So your big complaint about the other party is that media companies they are "affiliated" with covered someone running for President who was saying shocking things?
Yes, both sides are truly the same. Why bother even voting?

But my 2 cent on this topic as common dude is that nowadays it pretty useless to vote since both parties have scandals or some grade of corruption.
On the other hand if you don't vote you are just idle and you can't complain if things don't change if you don't act
I'm talking about almost every first world country rn not just the US
And I’ve never said anything even close to resembling “both sides are the same.” They are not. But they are both contributing to the whole tearing things apart issue, just in very different ways.
> Why bother even voting?
Because I believe that voter participation is vital to preserving any semblance of a democracy.
> The U.S. has a 1 party problem. The other party is a big standard average Western centrist party at worst.
Their entire point was about the false balance BS that enables this almost incredible level of dysfunction.
And your reply is about how the Democrats really do have problems and your list is, in a word, weak. All of it, not just the "news media covering news" item I singled out.
So you're doing exactly what the person you replied to was complaining about, and contributing to the problem.
