And good ones too, by my lights. Especially that last about homogeneity, identity and the resultant susceptibility to authoritarian sway because of it. It could happen to the Ds, to be sure. Everyone on both sides is human, and in possession of the flawed nature that comes with being that. But the diversity of the 'natures' in the D's party makes it less likely, I think.
My biggest gripe with the D's as a party currently is they seem to be unable (or unwilling) to 'manage' their various factions well enough to overcome the noise they often make that, because of the hyper partisan nature of the times we now live in, drowns out the more palatable positions of the moderates that may actually be acceptable to 'persuadable voters' if they weren't distracted by all the gloss and hype of the rest. But as noted, I'm not a 'party' guy. And I was never a single-issue voter. Until 2016. And since you guys have had my vote basically by default since then, I don't guess I need to explain what that issue is.
Yes, the left can "be a little annoying". Well, a good bit more than a little to me. A lot, actually. But there's a big difference between being annoying and outright dangerous. And I'd have to say annoying is the better choice.
