      The evidence is called logic.

      IF one side is objectively worse than the other, which I would argue is indeed the case, then it follows that the claim that ‘both sides are equal’ is an assertion that either A) the better side is worse then they are, or B) the worse side is better than they are, or C) some combination of the two.

      The number 1 is objectively less than 3. To say 1 and 3 are equal is to say that either A) 1 is greater than 1, or B) 3 is less than 3, or C) some combination thereof.

      gestures broadly

      The thing is it’s a bold claim, and thus if incorrect it is easy to disprove by showing counter examples.

      For which claim? That encouraging people on Lemmy not to vote helps Republicans? I mean I don’t have a survey or anything, but I don’t think I’ve encountered a single trump supporter on here. What sort of evidence are you looking for?

        the claim is that saying both sides are bad is intended to encourage people not to vote. i’m asknig for evidence of that intent.
