(10,893 posts)seeing as how they are all created by humans. Also, one voter's definition of perfection in a political party may differ from another's. The perfect party for a progressive may not be so for someone who happens to be a moderate, and it may even differ from another progressive's perspective of perfection. For example, I have came across progressives in real life who have criticized the Green Party's emphasis on environmental issues over other issues.
Getting back to the image from the OP, the Democrats (out of all the political parties) arguably hold the most realistic vision of governance and the best shot for progressives and moderate voters getting what we want in the future. Democrats want to govern, while Republicans obviously do not. However, Republicans are becoming desperate as they are losing their ability to be competitive in presidential elections. There is only a matter of time before it's time for re-apportionment (which coincides with a presidential year), and the gerrymandered districts get redrawn.

(426 posts)for the part that Republicans don't want to govern. They want to control (very different thing). But they can't openly admit that so they say they are against big government. Probably what you meant?

(10,893 posts)They basically don't want government to do it's job in most cases, but they want to be able to dictate people's private lives.

(6,785 posts)I may not agree with the party line solution to a problem, but I can be pretty certain "exorcism" or "let's get a big stadium and pray in it" isn't going to be a part of it.

That is a very low bar.

(12,843 posts)In a sane country, that would be enough to give the less than perfect party control of the legislature.

(1,348 posts)& while it's true, it kind of gets to something Bill Maher was talking about re: Democrats and/or the ACA. We always start off with the, "No, this isn't perfect" - thing. It's like we're partially admitting defeat before the fight's even started. The other side never does that. They tell you about all the good aspects of it. They don't mention the bad. They're always on the attack. We're always on our heels.
