Republicans are always evil. They don't do anything good. Ever. They're a known quantity. That's what we expect of them.

We expect the Dems to be better. And they get the smoke when they fail at that. Cutting Corp taxes. Border crackdowns. Genocide. Those are things that should exclusively be the pervue of Republicans. If dems run to the right they will always lose because the right was so triggered by Obama that policy doesn't matter to them whatsoever. It's purely teamsport for them. You can't appeal to them in any way. They see a (D) and vote against that person. Dems would never lose another election if they went only as far left as Bernie Sanders. We would have a perpetually booming economy and a high standard of living. But even that is far too far for the DNC Services Corp. So we get a gameshow host and a car salesman destroying everything.

Seems to be a lot of talk here about authoritarianism.

Is demanding responsible speech over free speech absolutism "tankie"? ....because the US is demonstrating exactly what happens when you give free speech to fascists and don't monitor their "religion".

Republicans have no enemies on the right. Democrats have no friends on the left

I dont know what you would expect anyone to say. Is there some surprise piece of wisdom about GOP politics that literally everyone in the country doesnt already know?

Republicans ran on a purely populist agenda, that resonated with many non voters. If Dems had an ounce of sense, instead of digging their heel on 'vote losing' points, they would have acknowledged the merit of those populist rhetoric to defang republicans.

Republicans are going to republican. Democrats at least have the pretense of representing their constituents interests.

It's like if an oil tanker that takes ten miles to stop was bearing down on a small passenger ferry. Sure it might be the fault of the tanker's crew but they can't stop and they won't stop. The democrats driving the ferry have the capacity to easily save everyone on board and simply refuse to do so. That's why people shout at them.
