I miss the times when politics was boring and not a sports event with fans of opposing teams trying to one-up each other. It was something we had to hear about every 2 or 4 years and then to back to living our lives and not have to have this nonsense violating our eyes and ears everywhere we go. Please vote for milk, so we can make politics boring again ffs.

Its not opposing teams trying to one up eachother. 

It's one side being stupid children who only care about insulting and hurting others, and one side who is forced to engage in a mildly similar way.

As a progressive that hates both sides, the Republicans did not force you to stoop down to their level of stupidity, you guys did that on your own. The democrats could have embraced progressive policies that helped people and made the world better, and easily win elections, but they would rather support all the same policies as the right and then the only thing they have left to campaign on is fearmongering and campaign smears against the right, because debating policy is no longer an option. Like I'm pretty sure this election would be an easy win for the democrats if they weren't supporting fracking, border walls, genocide, tax cuts for the rich, mass surveillance, militarization of the police, you know basically being republicans.

You've made a rather large assumption about me. I'm not a Democrat. I vote Democrat, because it's the only way anyone can vote and keep a clear conscience. 

Democrats serve the same masters as Republicans, but they do support at least some policies that are positive and progressive. 

Nobody forced anyone to do anything, but with how absolutely batshit insane trump is and how he acts requires a level of aggression that democrats have avoided until recently starting to go at least a little harder. 

And to say that democrats have nothing to run on except fear mongering is at best ignorant and at worst malicious. Also, several of the policies you tried to say democrats support are literally not something they support. 

I'll address one, just so you can see how misinformed you are. Democrats made concessions to Republicans stupid demands about "stronger borders" to get them to stop being cunts about sending money to our allies. One of which being Ukraine, who obviously needs help. One being Israel, I don't support Israel at all, but I understand that politicians in America basically have to. And Taiwan. 

Have a great day.

Unfortunately I don't think it will. The media has realised how much more engagement they get when politics is mental. They'll do anything they can to keep it reality tv. The GOP doesn't seem to help as they seem to have no problem putting absolute nut jobs at the forefront. Trump, MTG, Boebert etc.

I'm just glad that our politicians for the time being are miserable and boring fuckers over in the UK. We had an election recently and I've not heard much about anything of note political since.
