    That’s not a both sides argument.

    That’s someone who’s lived through many cycles of American hot potato, and is under no illusion as to who the Democrats are, which is not the same as the Republicans, but still their own lesser brand of banal evil.

      It’s your type’s eagerness to always bring it back to Democrats that is notable.

        Misread your comment the first time.

        What is my type?

        Again, I have lived through many transitional elections and have seen this cycle many times before, so if saying out loud the reality of our broken two-party system is hurtful to you, my apologies.

        What I’m actually eager for, is to stop that cycle, and to stop it, you must first acknowledge it.

        And doing your mixed capitalization of the both sides meme, ain’t it.

          Your type is the person who, when hearing about Republicans doing something bad, does not pause but immediately reminds everyone how bad Democrats are.

            I’m sorry that I live in reality.

            I’m sorry that you want to pretend that when Democrats get back in power, that they’re going to hold these criminals to account.

            But most of all, I’m sorry that you still have faith in the system, so much so that you are casting shame on anyone reminding people that the Democrats are not our saviors, and that it’s up to us.

              I stopped reading. You’ve no idea what I believe, but you’re telling one story and unknowingly giving your true one away.

                  No I’m not the one in many threads trying to shift focus away from a select group

                    Pretty sure he’s a left leaning voter being critical of his own party…

                    You know, the party that supposedly actually cares about his vote?

                    Only criticizing republicans is really dumb idea.

                    We need to hold democrat leaders to an even higher standard, because they are the ones supposedly representing us.

                    And they are utterly failing. Democrat leadership is pathetically weak. If you can’t see it, keep your eyes closed I guess.

                  Mostly Democrat irony, clearly. Republican irony is fine. And don’t anyone forget it. The most important fact ever: Democrats are worse.
