Obviously the only ideology in either case is fealty to capital, but Republicans blocking Joe's attempt at getting Israel more funding is objectively at least slightly to the left of getting Israel more funding, meanwhile anyone can tell you that "try to get the other guy's President impeached" has become an increasingly regular feature of political theater, and yet you use motivated reasoning to say that the former doesn't count while the latter is indicative of an ideological divide and not just a way that parties now like promoting their brand.

I don't particularly respect galaxybrained takes about Republicans somehow being overall more progressive than Dems, but pretending that Dems are progressive is just sad.

THIS is what a proper, pondered reply looks like. Whether it is agreeable or not, it addresses the original point made and makes an effort, in good faith, to justify his position.

You're truly persistent, but I couldn't possibly accept it. Let me tell you what - how about you enjoy it by yourself?

One of my many charms.

We're on the internet, none of this is real. Go touch grass, nerd.

Non sequitur, ad hominem, infantile response.

The locus of discussions doesn't affect argumentation.

Very insightful, thank you.

Sorry we weren't polite enough to you while you were defending concentration camps

Yet another display of your intellectual dishonesty, as you're talking to someone who's openly a democratic marxist communist. Instead of deflecting and using ad hominem attacks, you could instead focus on trying to understand things and why people have different opinions.
