My dad used to say, even back into the Reagan era, "even the worst Democrat is better than the best Republican." Meaning that even the Democrats that were totally corrupt pieces of shit would at least be more likely to move the country further to the left and no Republican ever would.

And that's still true. I'd like to see Bob Menendez thrown out on his ass, but I'll take another 49 of him over one more Susan Collins because at least Menendez votes like he gives a shit.

I dunno, GWB was an actual progressive, who increased funding for food banks and schooling - historically those being liberal agendas. Ofc being incompetent, he screwed everything up and basically just gave money away to testing companies over the advice of sth like every educator in the country, but at least the mouth noises that he made sounded nice, at the time, so there's that? :-P

Edit: /s btw - you really have to strain hard to ignore the genocide to get my point.
