> You switched again! From "dems do too little" to "they actually do too much"!

Sorry to deny you your gotcha, but I haven't: they've done too much of some things, and far too little of the right things. It's not a one-dimensional axis of "doing."

> And because FoxNews and social media has grilled your brain so well [emphasis mine]

Weren't you the user I was talking to about othering? You're doing it again, and injecting your stereotypes without any kind of basis.

Just so you know: pretty much the only news media I consume is the New York Times.

> no matter what we "other" people say in response, in your head, it will be wrong. This entire subthread is just another case of insanity.

You're projecting. I'm well aware what you're saying, but I don't think you're being rational or realistic. You appear to be angry in-general and reaching for ideas that primarily indulge that anger and its biases.

> You cant imagine how frustrating this is. Conservatives need to grow an f'ing spine and oppose trump too, but reading your ad-hoc, brain-off replies ...

Speaking of brain-off replies... I think you need to step back and calm down. It appears you're thinking in a very black and white way, and jumping to the conclusion that someone who doesn't agree with you on strategy or tactics is a member of your "opposing team."

And I probably sound like a broken record, but thinking like yours is a big reason the Democrats lose. It's kinda Trumps superpower: he scrambles Democrats' brains, clouding their judgement, preventing effective responses (in addition on their pre-existing biases in that direction).
