What a well thought out and unique take!

Republicans bad indeed!

Republican controlled states have higher rates of poverty & maternal death. Republican economic policies often mathematically make no sense and are literally impossible to implement. Republican controlled states also have worse health care outcomes and shorter lifespans for their residents.

Empirically it is worse to live under Republican control. Their policies are bad, unpopular, and really only benefit the rich and those in power they’ve leveraged this power to stay in power for decades longer than they should have be it be via gerrymandering, voter suppression, or propaganda outlets. Fox News was literally developed to be a propaganda box with the intention of painting republicans in a good light.

They know their policies are unpopular which is why they rely so heavily on the electoral college (nationally) and gerrymandering (within states) because if it were up to the people of this nation to choose who they wanted to represent them republicans would lose every time. They’ve lost every popular vote since GHWB in 1988 nearly 35 years ago.

Was that well thought out enough for you?

Democrats have their fair share of problems and bullshit but you really can’t compare the two.

Republicans’ actions speak for themselves. They’re evil people who always choose the worst option when given a choice.

If you don’t think they’re evil then that’s ok but it says a lot about your morals. Or more accurately lack of morals.

You're absolutely right, and the democrats are angels sent directly from the heavens to save us from the evil republicans.

Stop being dramatic please. If you don't like republicans that's fine but don't act like the democrats are some holy saviors of humanity.

They'll end up disappointing you like they always do when they don't actually follow through on any of their pandering promises (which I'm well aware the republicans do too).

One party is loaded with traitors and insurrectionists, the other is not. Simple choice which is better.
