I'm just gonna say this one thing, dude, this is not some republicans vs democrats fanboy flamewar. They are not rival football teams, they're political parties, you're not expected to stick with your "team" through thick and thin. This is the major fault of a two-party system, it encourages partisanship, but I guess it makes choosing your political views easier since there are only 2 options, less thinking required. The other party "doing it too" is NOT a justification for bad policy. Their actions should be measured against their results, not that they are slightly less fucked up than their counterparts. I couldn't care less about the democratic party, they're basically the same fukin party with some very slightly less right wing policies to try to make at least some kind of differentiation between them. Both of the parties would be deemed extreme right wing elsewhere.
that's why I think both of the parties suck
but we should move the discussion into the other thread imo
