Not every time!

But why do I do it? I get sick of reading uneducated attacks on the right.

I didn’t vote for Trump but all I see on this board is nasty ad hominem attacks on Trump and those who support Trump. Now, I couldn’t vote for Trump for many reasons. But I’m not about to bash those that did. It’s unproductive to do so in the long term. However, there may be some productivity in figuring out what the best elements of the left are and cleaving them from the worst. The Democratic Party has many good and useful ideas and people but they’ve made, similarly to the Republican Party, a crazy coalition to get power.
