    Fair enough. I’m struggling with the constant attempts to pin the blame of trump on the Dems not being enough while also projecting various purity tests on the party. I respect that you weren’t doing that, sorry.

    The dem party has a lot to improve on as whole and specifically with leadership. I also want anything better than Trump and I’m willing to settle, for now, on good enough. I wrongly interpreted your message as another attempt to wedge the party

      It was very big of you to concede the point and I appreciate your willingness to engage with nuance! I do think the Dems are less bad than the (Fascist) Republicans, but I don’t excuse their lack of serious resistance.

      Hopefully we can find a way to dislodge the corrupt and sociopathic leaders of both parties and build a system that actually works for us some day. And yes, MAGA is a special brand of evil that I do not consider to be part of the “both sides” paradigm.

      I can say I agreed with the first half of his statement but rand paul is kinds the best of the worst to me.
