I highly recommend the 50~ish side story episodes. Some of them are really good. One of them is part of an arc goes into the lives of people on a planet that is occupied during one of the main arcs. It has some based organizing vibes.
Edit: but in general they go deeper into how both are portrayed as broken. The stalemate only ends once something that addresses the contradictions within democracy.
Watched the 110-episode OVA and that's it.
