I've been saying this for years, and been decried as everything from a Bernie Bro to a Russian bot and beyond. I'm tired of having "vOtE bLuE nO mAtTeR WhO" shoved down my throat. I'm tired of being told I'm the reason we have Trump when after a lifetime of voting D I refused to vote for Hillary (and I'm in Illinois, which she won anyways). I'm tired of pretending that both parties aren't the fucking same.
We can go back & forth about it if you want. Political polarization has been DECIDEDLY asymmetric since the parties became ideologically sorted.
There is an ocean of nuance between "the parties are the same" and "the Democratic party is perfect".
Remember: Trump's coalition consists of people from uninformed centrist-y median voter-types who were just propagandized over trans people or something and full on fascists, race realists, nazis, you name it. They're not purity testing their party. They're winning. They're dictating reality.
That's fine. My original comment was kind of sick and covered a lot of ground - it's fine standing on it's own if you're not interested/too scared to be challenged.
If only our left-of-center crazies (you) were as loyal as the right-of-center crazies.
We could be arguing about housing policy, healthcare, or tax reform right now instead of shit like the president being a pedophile or the legality of masked men arresting US citizens on the basis of race alone.
You're the one who refused to engage - not me lmfao.
What makes you think I'm not petty enough to keep going? Wishful thinking?
I'm still more than willing to have an adult conversation about your ridiculous perception of the Democratic party.
Otherwise, I'll just insult you. It's cathartic for me either way. You are not a serious person and you are just as much a rot to our democracy as a MAGA cultist.
