"Both sides suck" is said by people who want to sound smart and can't be bothered to earn it. It's so vague it's meaningless. It's trolling that works unusually well offline.
"Both sides suck" because they're led by politicians, which requires an acceptance of compromise and being co-opted by the system.
"Both sides suck" because they're both basically OK with America's system of government and the late-stage-capitalism international order and just want minor tweaks to them, even though they've definitely got worse in recent years and had room for improvement to begin with.
"Both sides suck" because they're made up of people and no one's perfect in this fallen world of ours.
But if you're willing to consider any details or nuance at all, it becomes really obvious that there are many ways in which both sides do not, in fact, in any meaningful sense, suck.
