Democrat vs Republican

I'm the moderate RINO. I think this type of attitude is just as destructive as the MAGA/Freedom Caucus attitude. There are plenty of caring and ethical people that are Republican. Just not the MAGA or Freedom Caucus ones. I think that John McCain, Colin Powell, Ann Richards, Ronald Regan, and many more were and are caring and ethical people. Most of the caring and ethical republicans have been chased out of the party.

There are also quite a few registered Democrats that are NOT caring and ethical people. I don't think that Bob Menendez, Catherine Pugh (former Baltimore mayor), Jack Johnson (former PG County Executive), Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and many others are unethical and/or uncaring Democrats.

While there are more Republicans that fit your description, there are no shortage of Democrats that also fit the bill. So, while good people have a moral high ground, neither of our political parties really do.

Stop with the both sides crap. The GOP has swung so far right that embracing racism, misogyny, homophobia and xenophobia are celebrated and the policies are hurting real people. Women are dying and being medically evacuated from red abortion ban states. LGBTQ kids, yes kids, are being attacked in red states. Voter suppression is rampant in red areas. The GOP is vowing to purge immigrants.

The position that you, yourself don’t support any of that but you FAIL to stand up and vote against it puts you as just as culpable as rabid MAGAs. The greatest evil flourishes when ‘ good ‘people do nothing.

It helps that DH is less political than I am, so he doesn’t feel as strongly on the issues. I couldn’t get along with someone on the opposite end of the spectrum who lives and breathes politics the way I do.

I don’t believe a word of this post. This is a troll.

PP here. People like you are one reason I’m done with Dems. The unmitigated gall of some of you to believe that no one who you consider your “base” could possibly disagree with you makes me want to slap someone.

I’m with pp. I think that post is fiction — but not because I don’t think it could possibly be true. Something about the way it’s written is trying too hard.

PP here. You can remain in denial. Makes no difference.

It’s prudent not believe everything you read on the internet, especially anonymous posts.

DH has always been a Republican. I was a Dem and switched to R in 2000. Both voting Trump again this year. When I was a D we had a few squabbles during election seasons but nothing serious.

DH’s side of the extended family is very vocally R- some can be very obnoxious and it has always been annoying. But everyone tolerates each other. I suspect some of the married-ins may be D but they keep quiet. My side is the extended family is very mixed and everyone behaves & gets along at family gatherings.

Our friends are very mixed and politics has not been an issue.

We have 3 teens who are not yet of voting age. Will support the family relationships over any political views, whatever they choose.

Some of you guys are crazy. Family is more important than politics. I do hide some people on social media but aside from that: family first.

PP here. I understand that, but there’s a weirdly cultish form of denial that has taken over Democrats. I see it IRL too, because I was a diehard Obama and Hillary stan and most of my friends are still ultra liberal. A lot of them have become every bit as lockstep, ultra partisan, and uncritical in their thinking as the Tea Party nuts turned MAGA we used to mock.

The Democrat version of cult thinking though comes with believing that every current or former Democrat who claims to dislike what the Democratic Party is doing must be a Russian bot or a far-right, Nazi-sympathizing, white nationalist troll stirring things up. It’s like they’ll spontaneously combust if they allow themselves to understand that reasonable, smart, thoughtful liberals can disagree with the party line and not be far right lunatics pretending in order to sow division. And smart “BIPOCs” who disagree? Omg, we definitely cannot exist. We’re against the laws of Physics. It’s such pompous, delusional thinking, and it’s also self-defeating because you cannot convince those who you refuse to admit even exist.

That’s exactly what a troll would post.

You’re not fooling anyone, trumpet.

Fascinating. I hope you don’t get deported. Vance made it clear last night he doesn’t care if you’re legal.

So he plans to get his in-laws out too? Yep, he only married for political benefit.

Of course not. Loyalists won’t get deported, so that remains to be seen about Melania.

I love the whole GOP argument: I’m not a misogynist because I have a daughter; I’m not racist because I have a black friend.

Interesting that you do not care that Trump cares for himself. Everyone else can F themselves I hope your dh has a backbone and votes his convictions

So you are voting for someone who wants to be a dictator and wants Putin to 'do whatever he wants'

Certifiable.

This is most likely from a RWNJ troll. C'mon.

DP. Every post in this thread is pretty much restating what that PP said. Please just own it - LWNJs are absolutely certifiable, as the PP said.
