    That’s why I’m incredibly skeptical of some of the “leftist” accounts that constantly go out of their way to exclusively demonize the Democratic Party.

      As one of those leftists, it’s sad but understandable for people to be skeptical at this point.

      I have a lot of issues with the Democratic party, but its because I don’t have another party to vote for. I could waste my time critiquing Republicans, but they’re so far off the map of rationality that it feels silly and pointless. Democrats are still at least offering positions that can be critiqued outside “that was an outright lie” which is all you can say about Republican “policies.”

      I try to frontload those comments to make clear nothing could ever convince me to vote Republican or withhold my vote when they’re trying to fucking roll over democracy into autocracy.

        Existing studies and comprehensive reviews often find only limited support and only under certain conditions; they generally contradict the theory’s central premises.
