Fair enough. I’m struggling with the constant attempts to pin the blame of trump on the Dems not being enough while also projecting various purity tests on the party. I respect that you weren’t doing that, sorry.
The dem party has a lot to improve on as whole and specifically with leadership. I also want anything better than Trump and I’m willing to settle, for now, on good enough. I wrongly interpreted your message as another attempt to wedge the party
It was very big of you to concede the point and I appreciate your willingness to engage with nuance! I do think the Dems are less bad than the (Fascist) Republicans, but I don’t excuse their lack of serious resistance.
Hopefully we can find a way to dislodge the corrupt and sociopathic leaders of both parties and build a system that actually works for us some day. And yes, MAGA is a special brand of evil that I do not consider to be part of the “both sides” paradigm.
…what?
Do you believe Bernie Sanders lacks integrity (maybe you’re splitting hairs on “Democrat”)? Elizabeth Warren? Mark Kelley?
Idk, this seems like a poor attempt to “both sides”
Bernie is an Independent.
Warren helped the DNC derail Bernie’s presidential run which definitely lost her points in my book.
Kelley seems like a straight shooter. So, we got one.
Your comment seems like a poor attempt to put me in a box because I said a positive thing about a Republican.

I can say I agreed with the first half of his statement but rand paul is kinds the best of the worst to me.
The other Libertarian, Massie, ranks a bit higher, if only for Junkyard Wars.
