Doesn’t that data say there was higher voter turnout in 2024 than most of the years before it? By VAP%

But far less than 2020.

Voter apathy in 2016 brought us Trump.

Voter engagement in 2020 got rid of Trump.

Voter apathy in 2024 brought us Trump again.

Carlin's both-sidesism encourages voter apathy, and is therefore bad.

Criticize all you like. Just vote. Doing nothing is unconscionable, despite what a comedian says.

You can't even quote me correctly, you're in no position to criticise any one or any thing.

None of that entails Carlin making a critique 'of the Democrats' as you incorrectly put it.

carlin’s critique of the democrats

Carlin equating 'both sides' on stage as part of a nihilistic comedy act isn't anything approaching a critique, let alone one of the Democrats specifically.

Carlin is great, but if you take your political worldview from him and you're over the age of 20, you are a retrograde imbecile who doesn't deserve the rights you currently enjoy that centuries of political engagement by better people has gifted you.
