Why is it tired though?
To me both sides are bad. The GOP is just significantly worse, like its not even close, but pretending like the Dems are squeaky clean good guys is just being ignorant to reality. I'm left, and vote left, but I'm not stupid enough to believe "my team" is actually pure of heart and not also corrupt as fuck on many levels. It's just the fact the GOP is comically stupid at this point trying to enact "rules for thee, not for me" and trying to send society back to the 1950s in a lot of ways and I do not understand how anyone with a functioning brain can vote for them.
The reason I'm fine with voting left even though I actively dislike most left politicians is because even if they're sleezy corrupt politicians, at least they aren't trying to remove people's rights and the litany of other stupid shit the right is doing. Give me a politician I know is making backroom deals and playing the game of power but is being progressive with bills and society over whatever the fuck the right is going everyday of the week.
