Unfortunately if you don’t choose 1 then you will likely end up with even more.
The issue is that trying not to play, just plays into the hands of the extremists.
I watched something similar play out with Brexit. It was less a shit sandwich and more a firehouse of diarrhea shoved down our collective throat. It’s been less than pleasant. The people who were disinterested and didn’t vote made a huge difference. They didn’t want a shit sandwich, so got the fire hose with the rest of us.
The “both sides are the same” is a concern troll phrase. It’s almost always used by people whose views align extremely well with the republican party. It’s generally used as “both are the same, so why bother voting” though wrapped in more words.
Basically your sounding off with a right wing dog whistle, and people are reacting to it.
Just remember communication is a 2 way street. Others don’t have the context you do. Also, not everyone was raised in the same culture as you, or even using the same language.
If one person appears to be an idiot, then it could happily be true. If everyone seems to be an idiot, it’s worth a proverbial look in the mirror, the issue might be your side of things.
