I mean....do statistics not exist in whatever dimension you live in?
Like, you can ignore all the talk and simply look at the stats to determine our nation fairs significantly better under Democratic leadership.
When I was younger and poor as fuck I didn't get affordable healthcare from Republicans. Democrats gave that to me. It wasn't Democrats that stripped a federally protected human right from half our population. It isn't Democrats sending a federal agency to intimidate and murder American citizens in the streets.
And yeah, if you think that all voting Dem does is makes things worse at a slower pace, I'll fucking take that over things getting worse at an accelerated pace.
And I don't refuse to criticize Democrats. I vote to primary the shitstain ones, which is what everyone should be doing instead of not voting or voting for a non-viable 3rd party.
I didn't say that the Republicans weren't worse than the Democrats, they measurably are, as your statistics show. A two foot hole in a sinking ship is worse than a one foot hole in a sinking ship. If the repair team comes along and mostly patches the hole so that the water comes in slower, then the next repair team comes along and rips the patch off, it's still a sinking ship.
