Your post starts with a sloganeering, hyper-reductive take of what I wrote.
This is such a hopelessly lazy dismissal of that criticism I’m just going to ignore it and hope you have anything better to offer.
Nope. Skimmed through it and you’re still making the same strawman argument. I guess there is nothing more to say here if you don’t recognize it.

The idea of “both-siderism” is anchored on 2D politics: you can’t have “both-siderism” where there are more than 2 sides, hence my point about viewing politics as 2D.
You’re living inside a box and only seeing what’s in that box, hence hyper-aware of the difference between those because they’re all that you know, whilst I’m outside the box and pointing out that compared to the rest of the Universe what’s inside that box you live in isn’t actually very different.
It’s like I’m talking about “the landscapes of the World” with an Eskimo - you keep insisting that “this icy landscape is very different from that icy landscape” (which I’m sure they are in the eyes of a person who has only ever known those landscapes and nothing else) even whilst I point out that they’re both icy landscapes and thus very similar to each other when compared to other kinds of landscapes that do exist in the rest of the World, such as sandy beaches or tropical forests.
Worse, your persistence in closing your eyes to the point I’ve made repeatedly that there are more sides than just two, leaves me with the feeling that I’m talking to a particularly provincial and simple minded Eskimo that can’t accept the possibility that other kinds of landscapes exist which are vastly more different than the difference between two icy landscapes.

bud this is all tldr.
There are 2 sides that you can vote for in American politics.
That’s not being unable to see nuance, that’s being able to see facts.
You seem stuck on making a point that is irrelevant and increasingly more incorrect.
I can’t care to engage with someone who isn’t reading what I’m saying. It would just be talking past each other.
