Please, with the “both parties “ stuff.. There’s honestly no comparison between the antics of the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. I’ve worked in community politics for a long time, and participated in more marches and demonstrations than I can count. I’ve also worked at the polls. There’s literally nothing today’s Republican Party won’t do to suppress the vote and try to intimidate voters. Yes, there’s smearing and mudslinging on both sides during elections, but the tenor, message, and overall anti-democratic characteristics of today’s Republican Party is like nothing we’ve ever seen.
