I'm commenting on the very real phenomenon which is millions of people think there aren't differences in the parties even though we see evidence all the time that there are
Cool I guess nuance and details should all be erased because it's hard to consider them all
Would you rather have Manchin, who agrees with you on 10-20% of issues, or a Republican who agrees with you on 1% of issues and thinks you're the Devil incarnate?
"Neither" is not an option.
Gun to my head? I'm waiting for the gun.
You can and should criticize Democrats. A lot. But if you do it in a way to equates them to Republicans, that makes you a lying asshole. Don't be one.
Feel free to criticise but understand that criticism is not free of consequences. Making public criticism of a political candidate makes it less likely that they will be elected. You can consider that reality and act accordingly and rationally.
You do not need to respond to this comment with "Cool, I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing," because I don't care. I respect your intelligence and I'm not here to start an argument. If you feel the need to get the last word in with a "clever" reply, feel free to do so.
