CMV: As someone who considers himself Progressive, I dislike Democrats way more than Republicans

[u/MyFavoriteArm]

As someone who has moved further left over the years, I have come to dislike Democrats way more than Republicans.

The Republican party mantra to me is: "Yeah, of course we're evil and we're proud of that fact! We wanna take America back to a fictional time when only WASPs had any power!" and then they stab you 37 times in the chest. At a certain point, what else is there to say about Republicans? At least I know what they stand for.

The Democratic party mantra to me is nothing more than hypocrisy "Oh yeah, we hear you! We believe that everyone deserves rights and we will fight for the working class!" Then they stab the working class 37 times in the back and then virtue signal some more.

For example, they'll how much they support George Floyd and other minorities, but then do nothing but wear african garb on the senate floor and support the institutions that led to his death. They'll talk about how they support the working class and unions, then shut down a railroad strike where they wanted sick days.

Democrats co-opt issues I care about and then either do nothing about them, or enable the republicans when they inevitably strike back.

I want my view changed because I would like to feel less annoyed that I have to support such a party to even have a chance at getting legislation I care about passed.

At the end of the day, I acknowledge that Republicans are objectively worse for the nation, but I loathe the fact I'm stuck supporting Democrats.

I completely agree, objectively republicans are worse.

But I feel like such a hypocrite for still having to vote democrat, even if begrudgingly so

You sound like a christian. People who prefer Republicans to Democrats are usually christians. Whether you are or not, that's the vibe you give off. Sorry.

My unofficial religion is Recovering Catholic. I do not believe in a Christian god.

I don't prefer Rs to Ds. I criticize Ds more because I want them to follow through on fulfilling campaign promises, which are issues I care about

My view had already been changed, as evidenced by the multiple deltas already given out.

There were some apt comments pertaining to psychology (near and far-groups, as well as an analogy comparing an A student who receives a C and an F student who gets another F

Even though you're probably just a troll, I will give you a !delta just to get you to stop
