In my experience they appear to be until you bring up some issues, then they turn into bloodthirsty monsters.

For example, my my goes completely Ooga booga genocidal when Isreal is brought up.

Or on housing: She won’t even entertain any solutions that don’t let landlords keep exploiting people’s basic need for homes. She gets all “why should they have to give up property? They worked for it! Shouldn’t they be able to make money?” She can’t possibly empathize enough to value the basic needs of most people over the right for people who already own more than they need to profit off of others who have less than they need.

Honestly, I think most of them just don’t like the aesthetic of the Republican Party more than they’re actually opposed to conservative politics.

Yeah, that's probably why these horrible people end up in office. Most Democrats I know are my father, who says he's socialist and actually used to teach history, and local politicians who seem pretty good, but I imagine they're not necessarily a good cross section of the party.

That's why it literally surprised me when Biden won the primaries, like what

Not sure how that was surprising to anyone paying attention at the time lol

Well then it's a good thing you're able to pay attention to all things at all times and look down from your high horse. Maybe some of us are paying too much attention to too many things at once, so solid advice, I'll try to fix that.

I'll start by blocking you.
