The difference between Democrats vs Republicans is as clear as Day vs Night now
Anyone saying "Both parties are the same" is just a troll at this point.
Case in point: Defund the police
I am FOR saying it. I think that has to be the way to open up real reform that is not just slapping a bandaid on it and telling people to shut up and move on.
But I know there are those who are against the idea, against it even being said.
But there is dialogue, there is a 'conflict' that may very well be necessary.
Now look at the flip side of that: Let's have martial law / Let's redo or overturn the election / The whole "Nice country you got there, be a real shame if a 'civil war' happened to it" AKA "Give us what we want or we commit acts of right-terrorism" mindset.
Where are the moderate conservatives? Where are the moderate Trump supporters?
Notice how there is no dialogue, no debate:
* There is no fear that it would turn potential voters off
* There is no fear of unintended consequences
* There is no fear it could come back and bite them in the rear
This is not a position of strength, it shows how they are increasingly becoming "machine men with machine minds and machine hearts", that they will jump to the idea that most "owns the libs" no matter how much it could harm them in the long run.
And if you're a leftwing Democrat, if you're in the center to center-left, if you're a conservative Democrat for that matter; then take a moment and appreciate your counterparts. They are a major part of what keeps our democracy alive.
