I won’t give too many details because this internet interaction is deeply unserious, but I made a YouTube comment taking a jab at Trump, and someone responded to me with “Oh, yeah, but Biden’s not any better about this, now is he?” 
I said nothing about Biden. The YouTube video had nothing to do with Biden and all about Trump. Funnily enough, I agree with the user’s comment because it’s correct, but he feels inclined to state it under the assumption that I don’t agree with it.
I’m somewhat shocked because I thought that, at this point, especially with Joe Biden being constantly criticized by the left for condoning genocide, people would stop using this tired, old WHATABOUTISM, but I guess YouTube comments have a very fucking low bar for this kind of shit.
Also, this person called Biden left-wing in his comment, so…
Mainstream American political thought is neatly packed into the binary of Democrats and Republicans. nothing else could possibly exist outside of that. Don’t think one party is doing a good job? Just vote for the other party!
There’s so many people I talk day to day that think like that. When I say I hate both parties and won’t be voting in the presidential election people act like I’m the one that’s out of their mind for not wanting to vote for one of the geriatric ghouls being presented as “choices”.
