So many 'both sides are the same' memes by Blue MAGA trying to voter shame like they do ever election year. We don't live in a democracy, we haven't in awhile. Another example of the plutocracy surfaced today...

There are no heroes. That doesn't mean both sides are the same.

That's not how this template works

Sure. One side is forgiving record amounts of student loans and the other side wants to put pregnant women on a list. BoTh sIdEs ArE tHe SaMe.

I see “blue MAGA” is making another appearance

Kind of, it's more important to actual check where a candidate or sitting politician got their campaign funding. That's the way to know if it's a corpo Republican Lite or an actual progressive.

Opensecrets.org is a great resource for this, just go to the campaign finance section and look up a politician.

Makes it easy to avoid voting for people who take AIPAC money and stuff.

Although, it should be noted that AIPAC funnels money through other groups like "Voters for Responsive Government", so you have to do a bit of research sometimes, but you get the idea. Most progressives should be majority grassroots small donations.

Anti-electoralism in this cormunity? You have guts.

Measure the politicians to the impossible standard, i.e. the unattainable ideal, not the values they tell you to believe in. The higher up in office you go, the higher the standard of conduct and judgement they should be held to.
