I mean that’s a good way to look at it since they both serve capital first and foremost, but it’s also excessively reductive. Liberals run on giving the workers breadcrumbs to gain their support while conservatives run on taking away those breadcrumbs, so while liberals and conservatives tend to agree on the bad stuff and disagree on the good stuff. Of course they might agree on something good every blue moon, but it’s almost impossible for liberals to want a bad thing and conservatives to oppose it if you consider how those two groups fundamentally function.
TL;DR: If liberals want it and conservatives don’t, it’s almost guaranteed to be at least marginally good for you (CBC is here). If they agree on something it’s either political suicide to oppose it (publicized healthcare is here) or bad for you (tax breaks for the rich are here); you’ll have to exercise your judgement there.
Yeah, I understand this. And you explained it exactly how I already perceive it. It’s just exhausting and I’m tired of pretending the liberals aren’t also the enemy, to maybe skew some votes every four years for the lesser evil. It’s stupid. It’s bullshit. I’m done doing it. And I don’t really care if that makes people angry. Because that’s also stupid as fuck.
Oh then you’re completely right; liberals are also the enemy—arguably the worse of the two—and the Left should be a lot more unapologetical about that fact.

Whoever downvoted you is a huge fucking wiener.
Eh, you get used to it.
Their boos fuel me
