This comes from a third party football team viewpoint that labels both the dominant teams misguided and seemingly infallible following, while also thinking their alternate team would be infallible if it could play.

There can be blind loyalty to anything. That's human nature. But you ignore the many times Democrats have burned their own because they do tend to take the higher path, whereas Republicans are more known to march in step and protect their own, usually while projecting onto the left the same behavior they did.

Your caricature is a strawman of politics. I wish it was as simplistic as you make it out to be.

Yeah, that’s called electoral politics. Do you know how earlier we would’ve gotten civil rights if the right were too busy arguing over who was more racist, whilst letting pro civil rights politicians gain power. Would’ve been awesome.

Unfortunately, right wingers know when to lock in and stop ANY semblance of progress from the left. I wish the left would figure this out by now.
