    Which is exactly why the Democratic party stagnates around indecision. Every issue is “yeah, but…” Where as the Republican party just ignores literal crimes in their midst, because he’s “their guy”. This isn’t inherently an American problem, it’s a political one. Who is cheerleading? Both things can be true too, one is less evil but still needs to be fixed, it’s a lot better than literally chopping your own foot off with a blunt shovel and blaming the other guy. I’ve always been taught and discovered myself that one must always challenge authority, and to beware anyone promising you exactly what you want to hear.

      You are, when you say they represent all Americans. They represent their donors. They give lip service to all Americans.

            Yes, strong rebuttal. It’s called messaging. Not a single entity anywhere represents all of anything. They certainly use different messaging though don’t they. Also, one wants you to starve in slavery for an oligarch and one thinks giving everyone equal access to care and opportunity might be a good thing. Yes, there are evil plans on both sides, but one side literally wants to rip the candy out of the mouth of babies. I know which way I would lean.

              Its called lying.

              one thinks giving everyone equal access to care and opportunity might be a good thing

              They say they believe that. They don’t do much to prove it.

              literally wants to rip the candy out of the mouth of babies

              Babies shouldn’t be eating candy. That’s a good position, you’re giving the Republicans too much credit.
