So they would allow free and fair primary elections. They wouldn't conspire with social media moguls to police what we can say on line. They wouldn't lie through their teeth to justify war. They wouldn't instigate a coup in another country in order to control that country's government. They wouldn't use US intelligence officials to lie in order to influence a US election.
Well, since you say they're nice folks, maybe they'll stop doing those things.
Ah, yes, the Kremlin's old "both parties are bad" fallacy.
One side is imperfect, but trying to improve life for all Americans.
The other side is letting oligarchs buy power, defunding children's cancer research, lacks empathy, lacks any plan to better your life, is rooted entirely in fear, and is bringing back polio.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
