The people are the party for Republicans. It's their identity
I know some Democrats and they just hate Republican policies because, well, they're not evil people. But being a Democrat isn't part of their identity
Republicans are actually terrible people. Period
In quite a few ways they are similar. Both parties get money from the rich, attack those that have different view points, believe themselves more enlightened than the other, don't keep most of their promises, lie to get what they want, throw fits when they don't get what they want, try to divide people on issues, have zealots, and start to do stuff right before elections come up. Ultimately they are the same with minor differences in views that are taken to the extreme by few loud people.
Now tell me what those viewpoints are
They're not the same, not even close
I'll leave you too it. If I tried to explain everything to zealots I would never leave my phone. Have a good evening.
Abortion rights, you fucking cunt
You're a fucking coward and/or a dumbass.
Abortion rights since one party thinks they shouldn't exist. LGBTQ rights since one party thinks they shouldn't exist. Labor rights because one party doesn't want unions to exist or workers to get things like paid vacation or sick time. Child labor laws, because that's it's own category because one party thinks that 14 year olds can work 40+ hour work weeks. Free school lunches since one party thinks children in poorer familes should starve. Public education, since one party wants to siphon public funds to private schools through school vouchers. Public education again because one party supports book bans and defunding libraries. Healthcare because one party's stance on vaccination caused twice as many of them to die during the pandemic. Healthcare again because one party's stance is to allow insurance companies to be able to discriminate against anyone for any reason by repealing the ACA. Environment because one party has no plans of acknowledging climate change, let alone dealing with it. Environment again because one party wants to dismantle protections that limit pollution emitted into our air, water, and land. Healthcare a third time because one party wants to dismantle protections on food and medicines that would stop people from being poisoned. Labor rights again because one party wants to dismantle protections on workers that would stop them from being injured or dying.
I love how you don't specify which party but everyone knows. Everyone always knows. The people in that party know and get mad when they're called out and start their whataboutism.
At least you get to leave the argument and not have to abandon your state.
It kind of seems like you were just talking shite expecting not to get called on it but when you were your arse collapsed like a wet paper bag.
