when something quacks like a duck and looks like a duck its a duck
Here's an example of the overall problem: you're going with your opinion over the facts. My voter registration doesn't have a D or an R on it. Fact.
But you choose to ignore that.
Both parties have vocal, radical minorities that make them look bad. If I quack like a Dem, it's probably because I don't align with the party that was completely taken over by its radical minority.
You can scoff at that all you want, but it's true. The Republican party is now the "Sons of Trumpistan." It has ignored its more knowledgeable, prudent members and gone with the psychopath, in lock-step. The pied piper of telling it like it is, ignorance, mouth-breathing, election-denying, Yosemite Sam wing of the party.
The Dems COULD have done that, but didn't. It's radical minority exists, but has no actual power. It's been set in the corner to mouth off on Twitter, wielding no influence. The final 4 candidates for the last presidential election were 2 moderates (Biden, Buttigeg) and 2 left-wing (Warren, Bernie). Biden won. The guy who was the VP under a slightly left-leaning Obama won.
.
If Bernie won and all of our paychecks were the same, you'd have an argument. I'd be your duck. If Warren won and half of her cabinet was women and we were bankrupting ourselves for the environment, you'd have an argument. But that's not the reality.
.
The two parties aren't broken to the same extent. The Dems need a new battery. They haven't taken all your guns. The woke left may be creating policy in 5 cities, but not 5 states and not all 50. The Republicans have been smashed, backed over with a garbage truck, and are wheeling out Dr. Oz and Herschel Walker, and that's the bottom line, cuz Stone Cold Trump says so!
Hard pass.
Quack quack, ass hat.
