They are not equal in their disregard for the Constitution, for the rights of citizens, for their pursuit of liberty.
They are equal in their disdain for the needs of the American people.

Yes. But when neither of them are, my obligation is not to lend them any power through my vote. Doing so would only prove to be one more step toward the destruction of this country.
I did fulfill that obligation by voting for Trump in both elections.
I need only to produce one iniquity for the Republicans that allowed that list of iniquities you brought forward to come to fruition:
Sheer and utter inability to act to stop such inequities from occurring.
They preached and lamented about the policies being enacted and did nothing to stop them. They did nothing their constituencies asked of them, and when those policies took effect, they preached and lamented some more.
It has led me to believe we are living under a uniparty system, under the guise of two competing party agendas.
In what way?You are making my point.
Unfair. You are using the weakness of the Republicans as equal to the list of Democrat iniquities.
Proved ineffectual at stopping Obamacare, and gay marriage/religious rights (on which my views have evolved since). They all proved ineffectual when it came to the most monumental issues facing this nation over the past 20 years, save Heller.That's not true......Scalia, Alito, Thomas.
I disagree. Neither is a subsidiary of the other. They work in unison to destroy this country.Only one side is actually advancing evil....unless you are claiming that the other party as a whole is a subsidiary of the Democrats.
Whether you vote or note, only one of two parties will win.
I believe you have admitted that there is no equivalent list for the Republicans that balances the one I provided for the Democrats.
In what way?
Because they are. One iniquity can carry the weight of many. When you have lost faith as I have, you will soon come to view both parties with the same lens.

Evil thrives when good men do nothing, which implies the men were good to begin with.
Meaning the only other thing left is complicity, which is in and of itself an evil.
"In what way?"PoliticalChic said:
You are making my point.
Of course. But my moral compass will remain true. I should not be participating in something that does not benefit me.
The 2022 and 2024 elections will be the last time I give any of them the benefit of the doubt.
I will once again reiterate that one iniquity can be so much so that it carries the weight of many iniquities.
All sins are equal in the eyes of God.
"In what way?"
You chose the party closer to your wishes......the parties are not equal.
But you did participate.
Twice, as you posted.
It isn't true
I chose a president, not a party.
A common assumption here is that I favor a party. I don't. Not anymore.
Might I ask what bearing this has on my overall premise?
It is a mistake to claim that they are.
They are equal in their iniquity until they prove to me otherwise.
"I chose a president, not a party."
Now....why would any thinking adult do that?
Policies matter not personalities.
Here is a visual of what voting for persons accomplishes:

Policies matter not personalities.
So be it.That's just silly.
And....counterintutive.
There might have been a time when one party surpassed the other in overall iniquity, PoliticalChic , but all it takes is one iniquity to surpass many.
The failure to stop evil is in itself an iniquity. The act of permitting evil to flourish despite having the means to stop it is an even greater iniquity that surpasses all others.
It can happen because they tried and failed, attributable to overall weakness.
Or it can happen because they stood by and did nothing.
Which one is it?
What I have seen the Republican establishment do is tantamount to the latter.
So a depositor standing in line is not up to stopping a bank robber......and that makes the two equal in your view?
Stop being silly.
Well, as we continue jailing the extreme right wing terrorists, that crime rate will decrease.
Most of the emergency spending by the government, which is the leading cause for the inflation, came in 2020.
