🚫 Both sides are equally bad.
✔️ Both sides are bad, but not remotely equally so.
This is correct. Not everything has to be black and white
It's more of a light grey vs dark grey.
I would say medium-light grey and the deepest black imaginable
"Blacker than the blackest black" black?
I'd say that's more accurate.

Well yeah, if you're going to actually describe reality instead of erasing it, I'm on board
I've just started blocking these people
When it comes to the Federal minimum wage, they are equally bad, as is the point of the comic.
Really? Are democrats opposed to changing that, or just not prioritizing it because it can get complicated and there are a million other concerns?
It's the first part. The vast majority of Democrats are "moderate" and "corporate captured."
It's not a "both sides are equally bad in all respects." It's "both sides will not give us a change of law to enable a living wage be the standard." It's only speaking to that one aspect.
It might also be a complicated topic, but you don't solve a complicated topic by never starting on it.
Are those "concerns" bigger than the concern of Trump winning the general election? Make a choice. Raising the federal minimum wage in order to avoid losing to Trump sounds like a bargain to me.
Then spend some of that energy telling moderates to start compromising with leftists and progressives if they don't want to lose to fascists a second time.
Sadly, while we would value your support for stopping multiple genocides by voting against Trump, your numbers are far outweighed by that of moderates. I am sorry you can't comprehend very basic cause and effect and if that costs us our country, I guess you can rest well being so stupid you won't think you were part of the problem.
Well which is it? If our numbers are insignificant then we can't be part of the problem because we have no effect. Pick a lane.
