The point of contention between us, IMO, has been what you post here: "The world is not black and white."

I have seen that contention all my life where people say:" there is not difference between the Democratic and Republican party".

When in fact the difference has been stark for the last 100 years going all the way back to Hoover, Harding and Coolidge."

It is just that you apparently don't see it.

The Republican party has been the party of the rich, and the Democratic party has been the party of the worker and the party that has put forth almost all of the social programs for the workers, poor, and general public, and fighting the Republicans every step of the way.

E.g. The New Deal, Social Security, Unemployment Insurance, Unions, The Great Society and tried to get universal Health care and affordable education.

And the Republicans have fought them every step of the way from FDR, to the present day.

And the election of Trump was a forgone conclusion as the party kept pushing the moderates and liberals out of the party to the point a decent person cannot even win a Republican primary today. Name one progressive Republican!

I am in the position of Lewis Pasteur trying to convince you of something you cannot see-apparently!

koan; Now you are being dishonest. You are a Liar! I never defended "right wing bullshit"

I will also defend Scandinavian Countries since by blood I am 100% Scandinavian; I have family there and travel there. You constantly pull this complete bullshit out of your ass instead of thinking. You are every bit as crazy as trump and those of his ilk on the right. THINK koan - stop your mindless reactionary ideology. The world is NOT black and white.

I have supported Ukraine at EVERY opportunity and think Putin deserves to go straight to one of trumps jails and live in complete confinement for the rest of his life. My thinking here has never changed!! You are a moron to say I "defend right wing bullshit"!
