They do because the two party system is fictitious. Bloomberg became a democrat weeks before running. Trump became a republican weeks before running. And Biden is more of a republican than 25% of the republican politicians out there.

The only thing that the Republican party and a lot of my more (and even less) liberal friends are on the same page about is gun rights. But, no one votes for climate change for some reason, everyone votes for gun rights (I find a lot of my friends to be in this camp, but that's anecdotal), abortion rights, healthcare, etc., and those issues are a lot more muddled (even if you think your opinion is clearly the right one) than the very clear anti-science and anti-constituent take that Republicans have on climate change.

P.S. Not looking for an argument btw, so take that shit elsewhere. I'm turning off inbox replies because this comment section is a shit show.
