It is simple. You are either for Democracy, or you're not. You're either for the Rule of Law, or you're not. You're either for free and fair elections, or you're not. You're either defending the Constitution, or you're not.

Both sides Don't!
The Dems don't try to take away the rights of women and IPOC. They don't try to take away our right to vote or say (openly) that we should have no right to vote. Dems don't vote to rip food out of the mouths of the poor, nor take away our medical care. Dems don't propose measures to sell of public land to rich oligarch land papers. Etc, ad nauseum.
It's the stupid sell-out corporate owned McGreedia that insists on both sides.

can never provide peer reviewed empirical data to support their assertions.

dead on Interesting.. TY in it to win it!

Bookmarked... Anyone who says Both sides is braindead".

he was a writer for Slate.com. It was one of my go-to references, bookmarked and everything, but sometime back the site seemed to make a change to less politics and more coverage of cultural, entertainment, other news. Haven't referenced the site in quite some time. But Jamelle's work was always spot on.

Jamelle is brilliant!

"As conservative plutocrats gained greater power, what had been a relatively mainstream conservative party came to embrace positions far to the right of both its historical stances and the positions of conservative parties abroad. Nowhere is this clearer than in economic policy. Political scientists have developed rigorous measures of the ideological position of elected officials based on roll-call votes in Congress. According to these indicators, the cleavage between the parties centers on economic issues, such as tax policy, regulation, and the size of government. These indicators show that Republicans became sharply more conservative in the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s. Over this same period, no comparable leftward movement can be seen among Democrats.

"Polarization, in other words, has become 'asymmetric.' According to one widely used measure ... about one in five congressional Republicans and a similar share of congressional Democrats were 'ideologically extreme' according to their left-right voting patterns in 1990. By 2000, three in five of Republican members of Congress, were, with no change in the Democratic share. A decade on, more than four in five Republicans in Congress were -- again, without any parallel movement among Democrats in Congress."

The "both sides" narrative is a LIE.
