[QUOTE="Next Day Error, post: 5518275, member: 97871"] Dude. Of [I]course[/I] they're not our friends. They're kind of our employees, being in a democracy and all. The point is that, as a party, the Democratic Party is more responsive to things most people give a crap about: Gun violence Women's health and rights Tax policy Consumer protection Labor union protection and expansion Workplace safety regulations Environmental regulations ...and so on. They are by [B]no means [/B]perfect or perfectly responsive. They are not our friends. They're not even our buddies. But by and large they are more likely to listen and respond to what the average person wants. This habit you seem to have of downplaying every time someone makes a point about how a Democrat did something good followed up by a Republican kibosh is pretty boring and unconvincing. They are NOT the same party. They aren't made up of the same mettle. I'd urge you to be more pragmatic and let a point stand for once.
