> Blaming the party not in power rather than the ones who are and are making these decisions is delusional.
If you're going to throw around words like "delusional," then it's delusional to not understand there's plenty of blame to go around (e.g. blame the Republicans for doing bad things, and blame the Democrats for being so bad that they lost to the Republicans. Insisting one and only one thing can be blamed is a recipe for avoiding responsibility.
Democrats can be blamed for Republicans winning and coming into power. But after that, actions performed by Republicans is the sole responsibility of Republicans. Not Democrats. Here's another example, you can blame a weapons manufacturer for the existence of a gun, but not for how its used. Do you see how this works now?
That’s too compartmentalized to be a democrat brief. They love generational guilt too much.
Agreed. I want to maximize functionality and prosperity. Popular politics is tribalistic nonsense. It leads to fallacious equity and fairness policies "but Billy is braking the law, why can't I? That's not fair."
