i think a big issue with american politics atm that no one ever wants to just come out and admit is that republicans are much more willing to "play dirty" than democrats, and this is why democrats keep on getting caught on the wrong foot, and lbr this stretches back at least as far as nixon and watergate. this is not to say that democrats aren't above political skulduggery from time to time, but overall imo, there's much less of a tolerance for potentially underhanded tactics. as a result, the dems keep getting caught off guard and playing defensive bc republicans have no compunction of taking the underhanded shot that the dems would never think of returning bc they consider themselves above it.
#i think this also explains why trump has been their nominee for three election cycles even though he's now obviously senile and incoherent#it's irrelevant to them bc on a certain level they want a completely abject figure as president bc it's a show of their own power#this is why the people trying to kick biden off the democratic ticket piss me off#bc they don't understand what kind of game is being played here#or they are choosing to ignore it which is even worse#politics#usa#text
