    The knee-jerk response from most Democrats seems to boil down to: “Our guy sucks less than their guy!”

    And it never crosses their mind that maybe I want someone who makes an effort not to suck at all.

      I prefer “The enemy of my enemy is my enemy’s enemy. If we’re lucky we can point them in the right direction” but that’s because i made it up.

    *in USA, in other parts of the world a Republican means “want to form a Republic”

    Like a Irish Republican is “kill the monarchy”

    Yeah like they don’t realize the thing we hate about Democrats is even more egregious in them

    The difference being that an actual kindhearted, open-minded Democrat might actually change their mind.
