Thomas Frank calls out blind partisanship by Dems

[AlbertCat]

34. I'm off Warren since she passively announced her position on the Gaza situation

This is the problem with both party's constituents.

One issue voting....thinking.

You're off Warren because of some passive thing you disagree with. But what about all the things she does and beleives that you DO agree with? They mean nothing now because she walked away from a question on one issue. This is exactly like people who won't vote for someone because "They are killing little babies!" or something.

It works the other way too. "He's got my vote. He's for 2nd amendment rights!" but forget that he wants to gut your schools or want's Exxon to not have to pay any taxes and a host of other dreadful things. As long as you can keep your guns! That's ALL (apparently) that matters.

This "no true Scotsman" attitude and voting behavior is ruining the country.

Issues, platforms, and people are COMPLICATED. Sorry, but that's just the way it is. No one is ever gong to get everything they want.

Every election since the beginning of time has been for the BEST candidate, not the perfect one.

And Yes.... the Dems have gone way to the right....as has the entire country. But one party is friggin' NUTS these days! and it ain't the Dems. I mean, Louis Gommert? Michelle Bachmann? Rand Paul?.... etc etc.
