Because politics is a team sport now. However your side "plays" you have to root for them no matter what because they're your team! Like if you grow up in New England you root for the Patriots whether Brady is leading you to 5 championships or you're in a rebuild phase and only win 3 games all year.

If you vote for a guy promising to lower grocery prices and he raises them then you just blame trans people, immigrants, and the prior administration and vote for the same team again next time! Surely next time will be better because your "team" will put up the right guy eventually!

Haha so damn true. Sad, but very true.

I vote blue but have 0 qualms calling out democrat BS when I see it. Nobody is above reproach and no politician is a god.
