    A quote I really like; “with Democrats like these, who needs Republicans”. The party is a total joke right now.

      More apt, IMO: Republicans fear their base. Democrats hate their base.

      The dems and their staff, pundits, op-ed writers, etc know that the people don’t like war and that the hyper-focus on oppressing trans people, especially children, is weird and off-putting, there’s tons of polling on this. But try to tell them that and they’ll give you some west-wing brained horseshit about how actually it’s virtuous and necessary to betray your base and triangulate yourself 1 inch to the left of the republicans.

      I don’t know if that’s better or worse than being called a Russian bot for pointing this out.
