"both sides" arguments exist to remind us that neither is our friend. Yes, there are clear differences between the two, but I'm not going to sit here and pretend that one is the "good guys" and ones some unfathomable evil entity.
Neither side is my friend, and I aim to remember that. It doesn't mean I'm going to not vote. It doesn't mean I'm going to encourage others to not vote. It's simply an expression of "I am voting now under duress. None of these options appeals to me, but I must participate in the system lest I be consumed by it."

Voting let's you choose your enemy

Want to re-read that? I pretty clearly said I would vote, and encourage others to. I can do that, and still proclaim that both of the 'viable' parties are shitbags.
-
And where did they say you're not gonna vote/gonna tell others not to vote. I see it as just adding a note on what voting allows you do to, at least.

You know, I suppose that's fair. They didn't give a ton to go off, and it seemed pretty confrontational. I'd be happy to engage in a further discussion with them, if they'd care to provide anything further.

I was replying in agreement, repeating something else I read that goes along with "neither is our friend".
-
Gotcha. I admit I interpreted it more along the lines of you were saying I was trying to fight them all. Which I kinda am, but not at the same time hah.
Regardless, thanks for clarifying, and sorry for misunderstanding.
