Both parties are the same - why bother voting?

What You Say

Both parties have flaws; they are not equivalent on voting rights, healthcare, labor, or climate. One party attempted to overturn an election and pardoned insurrectionists; the other passed the Inflation Reduction Act's climate investments. Cynicism is not analysis - it's a strategy to depress turnout among people who'd vote against authoritarians.

The Stab

If they were the same, you wouldn't be working this hard to suppress one side's voters.
