I think you're misinterpreting how I'm interpreting you.
I didn't say you made a value judgement as to my politics, though I can see how a cursory reading could result in that mistake. No worries. What is a worry is the phrase "neither of these companies is ideal".
You seem to have some very good points to make. I'm most likely to choose to make time to dig into them with someone who:
- doesn't say "neither of these companies is ideal"
- is able to read my comments and recognize that my objection is to the statement "neither of these companies is ideal"
You may not want to see the connection between "neither of these companies is ideal" and Both Sidesism, but its clear to me.
I appreciate the steps people take to be better at critical thought. It's not clear to me that what I'm seeing is an improvement.
We go from "they give to the GOP so they're bad," which is oversimplified and a hot take to "all companies give to both sides so don't worry about it," which is arguably much worse.
