Why can't it have a post about a Democrat doing something good?

I disagree that our focus should be on mocking Republicans. They don't care what we say, and we have no chance of changing how they behave.

However, Democrats should care about what we say, and since we are their base, we have a chance of changing how they behave.

I find these kinds of posts to be the lowest common denominator of political discussion - go to any ostensibly "liberal" site and it's the same story. I just don't see them serving any purpose other than click bait.
