    *Rightists.

    Right wingers are the only people I hear the “both sides” mantra from. I don’t know what media you’re consuming, but you got it ass backwards.

      The bullshit “liberal media” does the “both sides” thing all the freaking time.

      And I’m talking about an awful lot of supposed leftists on places like Lemmy that do things like “but Biden’s economy was actually BAD!” and so on. I could go on for other examples…now, whether I believe most of them are actual leftists, I dunno…

        That example is not leftists, no matter what they claim. It’s like a lot of “Independent” voters are just too embarrassed to own up to what they really are. “Leftists” or what we call Dems, are more likely to accept their L’s and don’t harbor proven criminals. No Dem was crying when Senator Mendenez was caught, and most believe he deserves whatever punishment he has earned. If they spout republican talking points, and whine like little children, claim their losses were “stolen”, etc then they’re rightists.

        The thing I hear occasionally and that I actually agree with is that from an outsiders’ perspective, the US has a right wing party and a far-right party.
