    Yes, both parties suck, and you are allowed to dislike both, but they don’t suck equally and not (completely) in the same way and you are obliged to decide for yourself which party sucks harder, which you dislike more, and most importantly - which are you the most scared of getting into power.

    Just because you don’t want to be neither leftist nor rightist doesn’t mean you need to aim for the dead center. That’s as dogmatic as aiming for one of the extremes, and in fact dumber because it’s not even motivated by any ideology.

      Also people who chase the word “moderate” because they desperately cling to the idea that being nonchalant in politics is a good thing are so focused on it that they will be a conservative just to avoid the leftmost party even if the left-most party is actually centrist.

      Close to what you said, just exposes even more of how dumb it is.

      Isn’t it fascinating both sides are bad argument has been most effective in convincing those on the left to not vote?

      Meanwhile that argument doesn’t tend to work on the right and they brush it off and go out to vote consistently.
