They don't have a 300 pound tumor running their party, spouting Nazi rhetoric on the regular.

This isn't the same ballpark. It isn't even the same sport. There is no 'both sides' to this. I was generally a straight ticket R voter until 2014. As long as that man is driving party politics down to the local level - and as a resident of Ottawa County, MI, I can confirm that he is absolutely doing that - they will never get another vote of mine. Is that a relatively meaningless proclamation from me? Probably. But am I the only one in this camp? No.

What a ridiculous take

Democrats can’t be as fucked up as Republicans because, well, Trump.

Trump is cancer (for the millionth time) but this idea that D’s are carrying the Quixotic torch of virtue is a fucking myth. In fact, I’m not so sure they don’t fracture first.

Nazi’s? Have you seen the Progressive response to Israel and Gaza?

What a ridiculous response

Let me know when a fascist spouting off about blood poisoning is running the Democratic party and running for president, okay?

I'm not defending anyone, particularly the antisemite cabal in congress. I'm far from a leftist.

I'm surrounded by MAGA candidates here. They are morons running on moron platforms appealing to the lowest common denominator among voters - lack of functioning brain cells. I'm not voting for another R until his stink is gone.
I’m surrounded by antisemitic, socialist, incompetent DSA’s

The City of Chicago (Mayor and Counsel) is run by a party called the Democratic Socialists of America. Incompetent SOCIALISTS . Think about that for a minute.

The third biggest City in America is run by Socialists! And you’re worried about Maga!!!!! Ha. Come to Chicago, you belong here.

You completely missed the point *

I "can't see the difference." Here's the difference. Anyone with a reading comprehension above the 3rd grade level knows how I feel about Donald Trump. But that doesn't mean we should ignore, or refuse to discuss, problems with the current President or the left generally. The simple fact is those on the right on this Board, as a generalization and a group, have been far more forthcoming in discussing the problems with their "side" than have those on the left. [Insert reflexive response posts about false equivalencies; threats to the Republic; etc.]

Kali4niaND's reflexive reaction to any discussion about problems with President Biden or his policies is to "but Trump" it. Sprack's "oh FFS" add's precisely "Zero. Absolutely none" to the discussion.

I don't disagree about the full-throated hostility to Trump

evinced by many on this board: he is openly contemned by most of the board conservatives. I was talking about voters who would stay at home and not vote precisely because they can't see what amounts to a decisive difference between the two, or that a decisive difference does exist but does not involve matters touching on the existential well-being of the country, so they feel warranted in taking a pass. I had an exchange along these lines with El Kabong some weeks ago, though for him, it was a Democratic victory that touched on existential issues, and why he couldn't repeat his 2020 vote for Biden.
