    Republicans, are by nature, essentially a mono culture. Conservativism demmands conformity. Hate taxes, Hate foreigners, hate “the gays”, hate science and edumacashun.

    Democrats, while not Progressive, pick up everyone else, which includes progressives. Progressives, tend to be open and accepting of what is different.

    Except increasingly, they are not. Just with the last election, because every Democrat didn’t 100% say “Fuck Israel, Free Palestine”, then now all Democrats are evil and should never be supported.

    Ya’ll are single issue voting just as bad as the shitty Republicans will single issue vote on say, No Abortion.

    The Democrats aren’t great, but they exist as the compromise based system our Government SHOULD BE.

    And maybe they would run more Progressive types and shift back Left but why should they bother right now? They could run some hyper progressive trans candidate who hatees Israel, but that candidate says one “wrong” thing on one issue and the mob turns on them and says “SeE, aLl DeMoCrAts aRe bAd.”

    That said, I am still not entirely convinced that a lot of the “All Dems Suck” rhetoric isn’t the Left side version of bad foreign actors that have turned the GOP into the MAGA Nazi party.

      Because they’re losing without us.

        Because you will never be happy anyway. May as well shift right and try to push towards the perfect Nqzi candidates like MAGA.

              Help me understand your comment. Are you suggesting if we voiced disagreement with more than one issue with Democratic politicians then the claim that we “will never be happy anyway” would be unfounded?

                  No, I saw you ask why RamenJunkie would believe that progressives are single issue voters

                  Then your reading comprehension is trash. I asked him how he knows we “will never be happy anyway”.

                  My whole comment is 11 words and you couldn’t bother to read it correctly.
