      Minnesota recently used their tax on billionaires to expand education and provide free lunch to children so while the party isn’t perfect they are not at all comparable.

      What makes them so similar is first pass the post it guarantees a two party system and the practice of gerrymandering creating safe seats. The worst Democrats are the ones with the safest seats. If you want positive change start there.

        We’re talking about trying to pass legislation in the name of “think of the children” logic. KOSA is a fairly recent one that is from the dems.

          What’s tipper gore got to do with anything in the last thirty years? And kosa was bipartisan and died in the house.

            30 years is a blink in time. You do realize laws don’t magically stop being potential issues after a few years right?

            The Patriot Act which was bipartisan was passed almost 30 years ago now (25 years ago) now.

            KOSA was introduced by a Dem.

              You’re reaching to pull a both sides. Regardless republican platform positions harm children, Democratic ones feed them.

      You’re mostly correct, but Dems are not left in any political paradigm with the slightest awareness of the existence of non-American countries.
