It is helpful to at least be able to represent your ideological opponents accurately. (Although I understand it is tempting to deliberately misrepresent them)
You're three points for republicans informs me that you spend nearly all of your time within an informational bubble.
Actually, I think they have it exactly right. The problem is Republican voters views and priorities have been misaligned with their respective party representatives for at least a decade.
This is no more evident than in evangelical voters jumping through hoops to justify a detestable candidate of poor morals.
What Trump, the tea party before him, etc represents to folks that adore them is quite different than what those things are.
You mean "your" 3 points. I am not three points.
Anyway, I went to the Republican 2024 platform. There's a lot of fluff but, as evidenced by tonight, their big issue is immigration, which is the first 2 items in the platform.
Then there's generic fluff about inflation, tax cuts for the working class and boosting manufacturing, claims both parties make. (Also about energy but I already included climate change in the Dems column.)
Nonsense about stopping ww3 (yes, a level headed leader like trump is what we need to do that.) Then "stop charging donald for his crimes. Back to immigration. Then random attack on cities, despite urban voters voting Dem. Then generic silliness. Then climate, then culture war etc...
So, what would you say are the two non immigration issues on the Republican side?
I can't speak definitively for them, but I could just flip the words around from your 3 Democrats issues:
*magic swisharoo noises
Sure, same but that kind of defeats the poiny of the whole exercise...
