    That’s one thing that drives me fucking crazy, voters let that single letter define if they support policy or hate it. If trump had done and said everything he’s done over the last several years but had a (D) they would hate him. And vice versa.

      It’s not a bipartisan issue. Democrats do not have the same slavish adoration for their leaders that Republicans do.

        They are actually claiming that genocide is the lesser evil, yes, they do have a slavish adoration for their leaders

          Al Franken quit. Bob Menendez is facing trial. Rod Blagojevich was convicted. Wiener and Cuomo were shamed from office

          Jim Jordan is still there. Matt Gaetz is still there. It took comic-book levels of evil to turf Santos.

          And then we have Trump.

          So no, being critical of your own team isn’t bipartisan. It may have been at one time, but that’s at least thirty years ago.

          You’re a god damned idiot if you don’t think there would be at least as much genocide under Trump.

            I’m not claiming there wouldn’t be but right now that is speculation, right now. Biden is actively engaging in it

      Another voice calling you out on this bullshit.

      Team Blue has kicked and will kick members out who give the party a bad name. Hell, they’ll kick 'em out before the conviction. That doesn’t happen with Republicans, with only Santos (gee, Hispanic name, I wonder why) facing the music for his bullshit in all of the GQP.

      Fuck this Both Sides bullshit. It’s not true, and we shouldn’t stand for it.

        They kick Henry Cuellar, pro life under federal investigation. They didn’t kick Menendez currently under indictment. They didn’t kick pro life Pelosi.
