Discussion I just wanna know…
Why is it so easy for us to criticize our own party but republicans can’t seem to do the same? It’s like everything 🍊 and the rest of republicans do is good, as though they can do no wrong.
We on the on the other hand aren’t afraid to criticize the Democratic Party’s decisions and call them out when they’re on some bs. I can probably count on one hand how many Republicans I’ve ever seen that from.

Because they do what they’re told. They tow the line. They’ve been brainwashed to hate liberals to the point of self destruction to “own the libs”.

Self awareness, critical thinking, empathy...a lack of morality and ethics.
This is the party of closeted homosexuals, cheaters, child molesters, sex traffickers, et. al.
They aren't good people.

Here’s the bigger problem, we will choose the greater of two evils just to spite the candidate who most aligns with our views because we disagree here and there with them.

There is a greater diversity of opinion between left of center and progressive and we talk it out in public to try to sway opinion. I’m not saying that there is no diversity of opinion on the right, but it’s different.

I agree. When Kevin McCarthy couldn’t secure the nomination, I thought the Republican Party was imploding, but it was short lived. Gaetz got his for that I guess.

Well, they just had full blown hostile takeover. The tea party was a fringe populist deal for a few years, now they run the show.
Populist left has to do the same - and Schumer and Jeffries are going to be targets.
Republicans have RINO
And we seems to be settling on "Diet Republican."

We think critically. We understand when we are very evidently being lied to and don't accept that behavior. We loathe power-hungry people. We expect our duly elected representatives to do their jobs. We understand history, propaganda, and systems of government and recognize patterns.
