#bothsides — Public Fediverse posts

@rameshgupta @KathyLK @DoomsdaysCW @IsMitchMcConnellDeadYet If Biden had added 50 justices Trump would have added 100. Citizens United is a problem.
Vote for DSA when you can, but if you sit out when they aren’t an option then you hand control to the people running concentration camps. #bothsides bs, sorry.

@rameshgupta @KathyLK @DoomsdaysCW @IsMitchMcConnellDeadYet “Complete capture” is more #bothsides bullshit. You want to talk about a specific problem, go for it. You want to lie about our party being just as bad when we can’t somehow use our 49% to stop their majority or their Supreme Court majority, I’m going to call that out as a #bothsides lie.

@rameshgupta @KathyLK @DoomsdaysCW @IsMitchMcConnellDeadYet #bothsides bullshit, the Republicans are 100% voting for concentration camps and the democrats are not, which side are you on?

@karl ganz wichtig #bothsides zu hören! @SoziAufTour @Sanktionsfrei

@wasmitbuechern #bothsides #bothsideism

@tsyum “Democratic governor” is how a Democrat would generally say it, leading me to wonder if this may be some #bothsides bullshit

I felt the need to create this after a reply this morning: #BothSides

@nando161
The #BothSides stupidity is nonsense.

The day after #Democrats forced Platner to quit for being credibly accused of raping a woman, Palm Beach, Florida renamed their airport after the #GOPs Adjudicated #GrabEmBy #rapist #Potus… a man credibly accused of #pedophilia.

So PLEASE don't lecture me on "ethical bankruptcy"... buddy. 🤦‍♂️

De @volkskrant plaatst hier een ANP-bericht met op het einde twee volstrekt tendentieuze zinnen:

Trump wijt die problemen aan vandalisme. Vorige week werd de 67-jarige David Hearn, een voormalig olympisch kanoër, aangeklaagd op verdenking van het beschadigen van de Reflecting Pool.

Het had anders gekund. #bothsides 1/2

I am scared. Let's hope that after the recent critique of a popular podcast and the "neuroplastic approach", eg. psychosomatic blame shifting (here: https://www.woz.ch/2621/long-covid-und-me-cfs/heilung-in-drei-tagen/!4C332NV50EHR), @woz isn't platforming the other side for #BothSides sake.

"Both sides!" can be literally true and, at the same time, deeply misleading

@Quasit @AkaSci I get that Harris fucked up the messaging by not being willing to say the truth that Israel has been committing genocide. I agree that every politician needs to answer that question in 2026. I’m not interested in relitigating 2024.

The long and short of #bothsides here is that that genocide line worked in 2024 but now we *know* that Trump and the #EpsteinClass has been a million times worse for Palestinian kids.

@Quasit @DoomsdaysCW Yep, #bothsides just as bad, the side that is destroying everything is surely no worse than the side that failed to stop them from a minority position.

@lowqualityfacts It’s not the worst thing I’ve seen even today but it’s still kinda some #bothsides bullshit, right? I mean, Talarico and Platner are talking about the Epstein class and not the hand.

@Quasit @AkaSci That is some #bothsides bullshit. The Democrats are flawed but the Republicans are monsters, and your attempt to keep us home in November will not work here.

More #USPol here, though this is about #media. The rot is worse in the #USA than most democratic nations [1], so examples of what I'm about to bitch about flourish there.

The problem is that the media - mainstream media, corporate media, legacy media - has given up calling things what they are, lest they appear "biased". Instead, they engage in "both-sides-ism" where they describe one party's horrific, unethical, illegal position on an issue in the same #neutral terms they describe the "other side"'s reasonable and factual take on it.

Example:

Reasonable side: "The prison camp Alligator Alcatraz has inhumane conditions for inmates and fails to uphold their rights to security, food, facilities, medical treatment, and other things. It violates human rights and must be closed permanently."

The "other side" in this case is a bunch of racist nazi nutjob fascists in favour of throwing all non-white people into concentration camps, and the media say something like "Critics say, however, that the prison is a cost-effective means of detaining those in violation of immigration law prior to deportation".

The media fail when they describe a "side" like this neutrally.

And it is the reason the USA now has a #fascist #dictator.

Today: you don't say "critics say" here - a no-bid contract by #definition did bypass the normal #competitive process. It's a #fact.

[1] Note: not "most other democratic nations".

@mistergenest 0% of Republicans believe in providing any healthcare at all, so let that inform the general election vote too! #bothsides

"Everyday" is a song written, produced and performed by English musician #PhilCollins, released in January 1994, by #VirginRecords, as the second single of his fifth studio album, #BothSides (1993). The single achieved success mostly in North America in early 1994 and its accompanying music video was directed by Jim Yukich, depicting Collins moving out of a #NewYorkCity apartment. In 2004.

@GTVNEWSHD Weird to describe this as Russia’s “response” when Russia does this every damn day. Especially when Ukraine is attacking Russia’s oil income while Russia is attacking Ukraine’s civilians. #bothsides?

@gooba42 @lisamelton Why attack democrats here? I disagree with him enough to argue with you. Until you disagree with him enough to vote for a democrat, you’re really no fucking help to us. #bothsides

I’ve already accepted that Maine Senate is toast if he’s the nominee. I’m more concerned about the #BothSides impact on OTHER races if we nominate him there. It kind of steps on your “no fascism, no concentration camps, no secret police” campaign when you have a Nazi tattoo dude on your side.

@Secunergy @randahl Better than giving them less aid, better than Trump blaming them for continuing to resist Russian war crimes.

In case your comments are read as #bothsides nonsense I wanted to agree Biden and Harris are flawed but better a flawed politician than the current nightmare of Trump acting as Putin’s tool.

And the #BBC dutifully intones that Reform's racism and holocaust denial was taken out of context.

Was it? was it really?

And that #Reform won't comment on internal disciplinary matters?

Are they? Are they really?

The BBC has lost all journalistic credibility. But we knew that already.

Well, this is fun, and I think I like it more than I expected to!
