Name me one label where everyone who subscribes to that label agrees on everything all the time. Even as atheists we don't always agree on all things all the time.
We are human beings first. I hate loyalty oaths and guilt by association. Having said that, BOTH parties are NOT the same, and saying something is flawed is all you are doing. There is no such thing as a utopia, but the Democrats ARE trying to correct 30 years of the extraction bubble market the Republicans allowed Corporate America to set up.
There is no "lesser of the two evils", there is the republican party which is the arm of the robber baron class, and there are the Democrats who actually care about the health of our economy and increasing the stability of more NOT LESS people.
Both parties kill people overseas in mass numbers, Bill Clinton's policies on Iraq killed 500,000 people. Fuck you if you don't think that's evil. LBJ started Vietnam. Every Democrat, including Obama has continued the drug war, and plunging the economy into debt has hardly been just a Republican occupation.

It's odd, I almost made a thread about this, I think people who use the phrase American Taliban have no idea what the Taliban actually did. I'm not a Republican but no Republican is calling for the stoning to death of women and the mass execution of homosexuals. I don't think anybody who uses this phrase can ever complain about someone else making a false comparison. It drives me crazy, living in the most Republican part of Texas is not the same as living under the Taliban, where you personally would of been killed a long time ago for being who you are.
