    Why aren’t the Democrats addressing those issues. Do they just shriek about other things? I feel like they shriek about the same things, actually, and that’s how culture war bullshit serves both “sides”, or should we say the two available flavours of neoliberalism.

      1. They are, but you aren’t looking.
      2. They’re pretty centrist so it won’t always be as aggressive as it should be.
      3. The GOP has literally, out loud, said in the past that their goal is to literally obstruct and vote down basically every single piece of Democrat legislation and there was a long time where two pretty rightwing fuckers were spending more time voting with Republicans than anything else and that really got in the way.

      So, I dunno, pay more attention?

        No, I’m not American and it’s already annoying how much I have to hear about US politics. Republicans are clearly much worse.
