I believe this quote from Martin Luther King Jr explains it all
https://imgur.com/l3jVD6g Unfortunately this kind of logic isn't something I see Dems preach or believe in anymore. They'd rather fight fire with fire which isn't something I ultimately can't get behind when it's all said and done. I'd never call myself a Republican, though. #Centralist --- Don't like it?

Democrats are notoriously the wettest of towels. They can't fight fire with fire when they're constantly extinguishing themselves with their own incompetence.

My point is you can't act like the morally superior side when you aren't factually superior. Playing the lesser evil doesn't make you right.

No, Dems and Repubs are very different in general. For example: Repubs lack compassion. Dems have compassion but only shows it to people who they think is worthy.

Bully for you. Its not like someone acting like a fool is even a small portion of a group, Ive literally seen people take a noble issue like racism and straight up run it into a ground so its a literal joke to people Im jaded - psychology for example doesnt take into account someone who has immigrant parents, grows up certain ways, grows up with the freedom of the internet and watches it remove certain factors of life and add new ones, grows up experiencing American life but having it be out of lifes reach due to racial dynamics, dealing with discrimination, among many other schpiels I wont get into - it provides a catch all diagnosis and puts all people under certain umbrellas in order to make sense of it Politics is exactly the same way, it has yet to catch up to the real reality of people - just a couple of years ago it was the 98% vs the 2% and now everyone simply admires the 2% or wants to become that very 2% Makes my best friends think theyre entitled to ask me why it is theyre not allowed to use the n word on a serious level ...

The fact that you can still be you and have the open mind to love and accept someone else for being different. Republican Vice President Mike Pence is pro gay conversion therapy, he's agaisnt women being in the military and even the movie Mulan being legal for encouraging it, while being pro businsesses refusing service to people based on their race, sex or sexuality. President Trump is filling up the courts with judges who feel the same way, tried to ban immigration, said Mexicans shouldn't judge cases involving Mexians, told Americans who aren't white to "Go bak to to their own country" is expanding the Patriot act, okay with police and government going through private e-mails without a warrant, lied about fundamental things such as his crowd sizes, refused to release his tax returns, bragged about sexually assaulting women, increased oil/gas/coal production while removing enviromental regulations, and has refused to send federal aid to states/cities he doesn't like. To name a few And this is putting aside things like calling the Coronavirus a hoax, claiming Obama did the worst crime in history without being able to say what it was, sued or threatened to sue hundreds of people Democrats are not any of these things. And you're calling them equal. No one is saying Democrats are devoid of criticism. But if your beef is "why can't you accept others for being different." the Republican party is the one actively hostile to that is dozens of ways that Democrats literally are not.
