I think the best choice is the Stormcloak Rebellion. They seem to have ideas on how to fix issues. From what I've seen, the Empire is more like "If we stick together, then maybe someday we'll beat the Thalmor", but this seems to completely disregard the fact that Hammerfell defeated the Thalmor on their own, so I think Skyrim could as well.
TBF, Ulfric would still have to rebuild after the Civil War and dealing with distrustful citizens
Hey thats a great veiw of the deal I would have to agree and also the empire isnt like it used to be.
It is deliberately nuanced, but overall I would say the Stormcloaks have a right to demand religious freedom if nothing else.
Agreed I think they are pretty much equally bad.
I do think the Empire is still the best option for Tamriel and helping them win the Civil War only strenghtens their position and their resolve. However, the Empire is plagued by corruption and questionable diplomatic decicions, an example of which is when they signed the White-Gold Concordat. Looking past these, a united Tamriel definetly seems much more ideal than a divided one, definetly when taking the Thalmor into account. However, i do understand why many choose the Stormcloaks, but their flaws make them less desirable. Flaws such as not having the resources the Empire has to rebuild Skyrim after the war and surely tension between the different races in Skyrim will also rise. For me, the only attractive think about the Stormcloaks is freedom of religion, however i imagine that the White-Gold Concordat will Be turned over when or if the Empire wins against the Thalmor. But most of the problems that the Empire and Stormcloak can face, is definetly easily overcome, considering they have the support of such a powerful being as the Dragonborn.
