I would suggest this may be false equivalence. In the US, we have one party which insists on adherence to a few key ideas, and heretics will be outcast. The other is a much more diverse collection of people with a relatively more diverse set of ideas.
Unsurprisingly, the latter party is more comfortable with the idea that there aren’t simple solutions to important problems, while the former nominated a demagogue who for the most part can’t escape his soundbite politics.
Oh, you'll get no disagreement from me that the Democrats are superior to the Republicans, but they're both so far from being qualified to lead it's pathetic. It's doubly frustrating to open a newspaper and read about everyone peeing their pants about the risks from the scary Russians, who are not much more than a two bit annoyance if it wasn't for their nuclear arsenal, when the real threat to not just the US but the entire world, a behemoth 90% created by the West, barely gets a mention. At least the geniuses who planned this out could have had a backup plan in place for the scenario where they didn't magically transform into a democratic utopia. Where do these naive ideas come from in the first place?
Unfortunately, looks like I've been given a time out again, I guess to reconsider if it's appropriate to hold the opinions I do.
