    This comes from a third party football team viewpoint that labels both the dominant teams misguided and seemingly infallible following, while also thinking their alternate team would be infallible if it could play.

    There can be blind loyalty to anything. That’s human nature. But you ignore the many times Democrats have burned their own because they do tend to take the higher path, whereas Republicans are more known to march in step and protect their own, usually while projecting onto the left the same behavior they did.

    Your caricature is a strawman of politics. I wish it was as simplistic as you make it out to be.

      the last president supported segregation of schools

      sorry but dont just grow up from that take it from my great grandparents

      and the last election we had harris and walz who both worked with republicans

      walz worked with trump to take care of protesters that were fighting for all of us to live in a clean environment but hey democrats should get a free pass because they say and do a few good things compared to the republicans who democrats are supposedly fighting against on our behalf

      at the dnc protesters who were fighting for all us there as well to have healthcare, a world without war, living wages, etcetera were locked out but the republicans and celebrities got in and had grand ol’ time at the gala

      where does the differences come in and how is does it help when democrats are bathing and sleeping with republicans

        It’s not that you’re wrong, it’s that you’re trying to use a broad brush that groups everyone in the same light. No one is getting a free pass either, all of those have been mentioned in the scope that Democrats need to do better, and stop only going halfway when they manage to get traction. The American people need to do better too, the acceptance that this is how it is contributes to the problem. As does the apathy of “both sides” which you’re using here.

        As a side note: I’m usually not a stickler for grammar and spelling, I figure if there is understanding any mistakes are fine in a casual discussion. But I have to say your sentence structure is hard to follow sometimes. A bit better wording would allow your points to flow a bit better.

        You should probably take your meds regularly. Who knows, maybe you’ll feel better after a while.

      Yeah, that’s called electoral politics. Do you know how earlier we would’ve gotten civil rights if the right were too busy arguing over who was more racist, whilst letting pro civil rights politicians gain power. Would’ve been awesome.

      Unfortunately, right wingers know when to lock in and stop ANY semblance of progress from the left. I wish the left would figure this out by now.
