i mean, i remember the bush years. they were very Not Good so I feel like anyone just kind of being all blasé about a bush 3.0 lacks critical perspective.

the bush administration was a false memory created by obama to cow liberals into submission

it feels like it should be if you're intentionally downplaying that, though.

it shouldn't need to be said that the republicans are worse, and the gop being worse isn't an endorsement of the democrat party. once again, you're viewing everything in a totally binary way.

maybe this is because i live in a country that has the two of the oldest continuously existing political parties in world history?

i feel like you don't understand that we view it in a binary way because that is literally how the united states is fundamentally structured - not viewing it in a binary way is not merely wishful thinking, it's not within the realm of the possible.

to not 'view it in a binary way' would require would require literally more political effort than any us public policy accomplishment of the 20th / 21st century.

for months now people itt have seriously taken any criticism of the democrat party, or any attempt at discussing why people might be lashing out against the political establishment, as endorsements of the gop. there's zero desire for any kind of nuanced discussion anymore, and i'm sick of it.
