It’s not just this year

I've found people on here actually arguing that hamas is unambiguously right in their actions. Unlike black lives matter where saying white lives don't matter is a complete straw man that no one was arguing. So making sure people are on the same page about Hamas I think is valuable still.

Depends on the issue. Queerphobics vs "woke ideology"? One denys a minority the right to exist and tries everything to make them miserable (including bringing them to the point of suicide) whilst the other sometimes maybe overshoots a little. There's no "muh, bOtH sIdEs" here.
Isreal and Palestina? Hamas is a terror organization hiding behind civilians, in hospitals etc, risking innocent palestinian lives (and there are innocent civilians in Palestine) whilst the israeli government conducts policies of illegal settling or funding of Hamas to stay in power and facilitate a public enemy. Both sides here do abhorrent things on the back of innocent civilian lives, but both do have reasons.

All in all, this meme is perfect. The stupid and idiotic person depicted fits the stupid and undifferentiated caption very well.

(And yes, I know this text will start a comment war about Israel and Palestine because too many people feel like they have to pick a side and defend everything that side does. I will not participate though.)

They do suck, but the GOP is significantly worse in every way: It's all about the least shitty choice in the United States which is why we need ranked choice voting so badly.

All lives matter was a racist dog whistle. Both sides are bad is just the sad state of politics where neither major parties actually care about the people.

"Both sides bad" has been going on for decades. Hell you could probably make an argument for at least a century now.
