    For you. I see Dems constantly glazing Obama. Who, while not as bad as trump, was pretty fucking bad in a “it’s like Bush never left” kind of way. Affiliation is all that matters to a stunning number of people.

      “it’s like Bush never left”

      What’s that based on?

      And saying he’s “not as bad as Trump” is a ludicrous understatement.

        What’s that based on?

        He ordered almost 600 drone strikes in 7 different countries, hitting weddings schools and hospitals and killing scores of civilians. He renewed the patriot act, escalated the domestic spying program, maintained the CIA black site torture program, and persecuted the whistleblowers that told us about them. That’s what “hope and change” looks like apparently. And the Dems went completely silent. “No blood for oil” turned into “awww he’s charasmatic and plays basketball <3”

        I’m pointing out blind partisanism isn’t exclusive to one party. Pretending that it is exclusive to one party is an example of blind partisanism.
