This both sides bullshit is what got us here. Yes, the democrats are shit. But we wouldn't have gotten here without republican lead efforts to privatize everything.

So don’t laugh at the less fortunate victims of the system that will eat you too.

I explicitly explained that I wouldn't.

Even the ones you think were asking for it dickhead

Some are very clearly are asking for it. I will shed no tears for them.

I say both sides because it is explicitly true. You can't keep working within the system when the system was never meant to benefit you

It very clearly isn't true, even for milquetoast democrats:

You can't work at all if you let the system ignore you.
