Both Sides Fallacy

You're making the assumption that we all have to be on one 'side' or the other, which isn't true at all. In fact it's very harmful.

Both sides oppose good things for people. It's a false dichotomy and meant to divide.

It's a false dichotomy to assume that everyone has a "side", and pushing that is part of the deflection.

"Not taking sides here" but taking sides here.

You seem to be implying this is inconsistent or hypocritical. These positions are each advocated by different people who passionately disagree with the other side.

The idea that both sides are equally bad. That is demonstrably false.

This says nothing about being on the 'right' side of the argument.

per se, nothing is wrong, but, you are more inclined to disregard the other side. you're not presenting all the possible arguments for the other side. I find it less trustworthy if someone is taking sides..

it's hard to tell if you're acknowledging the false dichotomy, or advocating for one side of it.

This forum has mostly Americans. There is a recent meme in American politics that says that someone arguing that both sides are the same is a bad thing. Because they're actually arguing in favor of one of the sides in some hidden manner, or because not picking sides only supports a bad status quo, or something like that. Anyway, it's bad and you got to downvote it.
