Not only do our politics reward that behaviour, it attracts it simple because of the power that it entails. That's without getting into the fact that both parties are on the same side of the coin because they won't make any changes that threatens the corrupt system that pays their salary. There are loads of issues that aren't solved by either political party because the partisan split is powerful enough to drive people to the polls and vote for them. The Democrat party is the polar opposite of the "resistance" that it's trying to brand itself as.

tl;dr actions and human nature speak louder than speeches and sales pamphlets.

It’s called the Democratic Party not the “Democrat” Party though.

I'm trying to push some rebranding of my own.

^ I'll agree with this if you'll agree that it's subtly different from having no moral centre at all.

Photographing a book is a neat way of quoting. Nice. "If they didn't vote for a lizard, the wrong lizard might get in." HaHa! I have to go away and think about that for a while....

Subtle to the point of not really mattering. If you compromise on your moral centre, is it really your moral centre or is it wishy-washy posturing?

IDK who's running in Utah, but I'm probably gonna vote Democrat simply because I think a house full of Dems would be funny during Trump's presidency.

Lisna, how many bubbles in a bar of soap?

Trump rolled through Columbia, MO yesterday [about 20 - 30 miles away from me] for a rally. Didn't feel like going. Some people camped out for almost 24 hours to see him.

Frownland, for someone who generally seems very informed and astute, your opinions on politics are complete garbage.

Both sides are not the same at all. Maybe you could read this.
