I mean, sure, but this kind of whataboutism actually doesn't solve the problem (which *is* the 2-party system leveraging small but divisive issues to "manage" the plebs and achieve outcomes that no reasonable American would actually support).

Qasim isn't wrong: the Rs are basically false advertising and using their position of power to further damage the social safety net for the poorest Americans while further enriching our corporatist overlords.

Freemo isn't wrong, because the Ds are just as guilty of ridiculous spending (if not more so) than the Rs.

However, we aren't getting anywhere by continuing in the same 2-party voting system. We need to have the courage to vote for our values to send a message to the people at the top. If enough people "waste" their votes, then it's no longer a "waste" as the actual public sentiment would be measurable and our politicians would have to account for it to maintain reelection eligibility...but for now, the population of America is acting insane: repeating their mistakes and expecting better results.

My 2 cents, lemme know what you think (and sorry Freemo, it's been a while because life has been happening all at once, I hope you're doing well :) )
