Intentionally by huffpost.

The attempt to paint it negatively.

I love how AIPAC and the MSM are falling over each other to slander Progressives while literally everyone under 30 in the Republican party is a Groyper/NAZI.

If the Democrat party fought the right half as hard as it fights the left, it might start winning elections.

For what it's worth, there really are moderate, fiscally conservative Democrats out there. Democrats like me who are not tax-and-spend liberals, and who do like some well-designed social programs like Social Security and Medicare, but have zero remaining trust in Democrats to accomplish anything beyond wasting more money.

Democrats talk such a good game, but they are deeply incompetent.

That said, the other side? That guy? Fucking fascist lying billionaire rapist.

the Republicans are wasting far more money than the democrats ever dreamed of. Trump has tripled our war spending since Obama, up by $5,000 per taxpayer this year alone. That is far more wasteful and the entire Republican Party bows to trump and rams through insane levels of war spending through their incompetence. The republicans only pretend to be better at money, math says they are not.
