    The whole genocide joe Gaza bullshit proves this wrong. There were plenty of ‘protest’ votes this round. But their protest issues were stupid because trump had worse direction on all of them but for whatever reason that was ignored and everyone focused on Harris and Biden. As if trump wasn’t just waiting to glass the whole place and turn it into a resort or golf course already.

      It’s because Democrats have always been held to higher standards. Because we expect nothing from Republicans, because Republicans never deliver. Ever. So now all our expectations rest on Democrats and when you place all your expectations on one thing, it will always fail to live up.

      So Democrats have to be flawless while Republicans get to literally be lawless.

      Pretty stupid country we’ve got here. Signing our democracy away because one party can’t be perfect.

        Man being anti-genicide isn’t the bar for flawless buddy. The bar is way higher than that. Flawless is not what you use to describe something that everyone should be except fucking war criminals.

        Democrats have to be flawless

        They really don’t and the fact that you don’t see that is why the blindness of the dems lead to their failure.

        If a Republican is moderate on abortion or refuses to kiss the ring, they label him a Republican In Name Only (RINO) and he loses his primary.
