      Good is relative. And relatively speaking, one is definitely good compared to the other.

        It’s not good of its own merit though, it’s only good compared to something worse. Neither party represents the interests of the average working class individual.

          Literally nothing is “good of its own merit”. Because literally nothing is intrinsically “good”.

          “Good” is a subjective idea, not objectively measurable, so it will always be in reference to another, i.e. relative.

            Maybe for you that’s the case, I definitely have a definition of morally good and both sides aren’t that. Accepting collateral for example. You can’t be good in my book if you’re doing that, and they both did.
