What frustrates me is people who look at it as joining a team. Like sports. You root for your team, regardless. If you win a game on a terrible call, that's fine. If a guy on your team injures another player with a cheap shot, it's justified and forgotten...
IMO not enough people think for themselves. Neither party is always right or always wrong, and there are (or should be) differing opinions within each party. If something is wrong, and prosecutable on one side, the same standard should be applied to the other side.
The 2 party system dumbs down the country, and creates unnecessary acrimony. If people who think they are on "different sides" sat down over a beer or two, more often than not, they'd find a lot of common ground.

right easy to say that but unfortunately most of the media and culture already biases one party so there is less pushback on those polices...the other party will at least receive big pushback if theres an issue, even when the issue may be proven to be ok there is initial pushback like tik tok for example.. the problem is when there is no media or any push back and one party can do things more unchecked then the other party..it should be equal both ways..
