Maybe at the national level, but at the state level the two parties couldn’t be more different. And, I’d argue a major reason at the national level why their actions appear similar is an artifact of the system - our system is designed to be agonizingly slow and produce compromises that don’t make anyone happy. Thus we end up with the two radically different parties having to move a glacier up a hill trying to get anything close to what either wants.

one way I’ve been able to have productive conversations around partisans for longer is to say

“everyone can see how the sides are different, its valid to be more bothered by the ways they are the same”
