This is objectively false. One party deals entirely in culture warfare with no idea how to govern. The other at least tries to interface with real world problems.
All this "we" shit smacks entirely too much of cis het white middle class privelage
Nah, it's just the usual "both sides are bad" false equivalence bullshit.
Both sides are bad, but they are not equivalent, and we indeed shouldn't flatten the landscape.
In the interest of being constructive, what do you propose is the best way to voice this opinion off-handedly?
"Both sides are terrible, but at least one doesn't wanna kill me."
Or similar. Just damn the Dems with faint praise.
It smacks of a belief that to pull through this, the majority of us need to figure out how to get along.
