You're actually the one infantilizing the divide in this case and I'm saying this as a socialist myself.

    "Both sides bad" is a bad take when applied to economics. In that area, one side is clearly superior. However, when it comes to politics as a whole, specifically social values, the other commenter is right. Now don't get me wrong, it's not like I'm crazy about the right's social values or anything, but I am very critical of some of the stuff the left is promoting lately (and no, I don't mean just chronically online liberals).

    I'd agree, except the progressives and conservatives align with the left and right respectively in 99% of cases. Some even go as far as to consider their social values inseparable from the economic ones. When's the last time you met a conservative socialist, for instance?
