    Is there really anything to say there that everyone in this comment thread would be surprised by?

    Republicans care too much about culture war BS

    Republicans are blatantly wrong on the issue of abortion, and it’s actually baffling that they continue to oppose abortion even though it’s going to cost them elections

    Environment. Need I say more?

    Republicans are guilty of supporting giant corporations and serving corporate interests just as much as democrats. The only reason I don’t say they’re more guilty than Democrats is because companies that I consider to be some of the most monopolistic and controlling are tech and media companies that get much more support from democrats. I consider it a tie until one party either blocks a corporate merger or breaks up a monopoly.

    I touched on Democrats being creepily authoritarian regarding speech, but of course Republicans are just as eager to censor when they have the opportunity as well.

    I could go on, but these are the glaring issues I can think of that immediately come to mind.

      What about Desantis being authoritarian and creating his own militia for Florida, Trump going after Muslims and other non-white people, trump encouraging his base (all republicans) to perform a failed coup? You seem to be watering down some very serious things on the republican side. I’m glad you’re sending your best efforts, but it’s not going to be enough here, at least right now.

        He reactivated the Florida State Guard. The samekingd of State Guard utilized by like 22 other states including California and New York. The FSG was created way before DeSantis came to office.

      To be honest, it looks like you are biased to the republican side.

      You make good points though.

        Based on two comments I made do you truly think I’m “biased toward the Republican side” or are you just assuming that because you automatically assume anyone who disagrees with Democrats on certain issues is a Republican sympathizer?

      I notice you skipped over the whole thing where the republican president of the united states, with help from some republican lawmakers, tried to steal an election by using a riot as cover.

      I also notice how you’re implying Trump having dinner with Kanye “defcon 5 on jews” West and Nick "we need a white nationalist dictator” Fuentes just “culture war bs”. I guess eradicating “transgenderism” would also fall under just “culture war BS”.

      Your list of issues regarding republicans is rather short, your list of democrat wrongdoings rather long, and your omissions are suspect.

      So yeah, I believe you when you say you’re a centrist, you’re a picture perfect example of one.
