That’s funny, because I would have said the exact opposite; Democrats have been taking the “they go low, we go high” approach for far too long, and it has historically allowed republicans to blatantly lie while remaining almost entirely unchecked. By this point, denying reality is an engrained part of conservative culture. This election is the first time in recent memory that I have seen democrats actually stop pulling punches and start blatantly accusing the republicans of lying.
And honestly, it’s a welcome change. “The tolerant left” was a term coined by the right, to be able to cry when liberals called them out for intolerance. Democrats have finally started ignoring the crocodile tears and calling them out for what they are.
Its a matter of perspective in my opinion. From my groups perspective, they usually do go high. From other groups perspectives, its rare they do. Its unfortunate democrats have taken advantage of so many groups of people, that’s what I mean by going low. They have gone low with republicans, and they have gone low with third party voters and uncommitted voters as well. They have tried to take the high road in most other places it seems though, which actually wasn’t the norm. Anti-corporate policy is relatively new.
How is that relatively new? I’m pushing 40 and since long before my lifetime it’s been democrats supporting unions, breaking monopolies, and placing regulations on industry.
You probably know more than I do for being older, but I don’t recall the democrats being earnest about any of it. Obama was a nightmare depending which sector you worked in at the time.
Maybe they do what you say but the net result is things have gotten worse from an inequality standpoint.
Perspective is important because it helps you view a situation from multiple viewpoints. Not everyone is white and upper middle class.
And by the way, focusing on the representatives and what actions they take, is considering their perspective. Perspective is immensely important in politics because who someone is and how the represent themselves is just as important as the policy they profess.
I’m defending Jill Stein because not a single person has shown me one thing she has done wrong. Sitting at a table with Putin, and a Russian news station promoting her, all have nothing to do with HER actions. If she was going to make an underhanded deal with Putin and their tv station heads, they wouldnt do it so publicly.
She has a clear statement about Putin being a war criminal, but whenever she criticizes America everyone loses their minds. We aren’t the greatest country, we are the most destructive, and the one that causes the most suffering. I appreciate her for bringing these topics up.

It’s a matter of actually knowing each parties stance and voting records. Not anything to do with perspective.
Do you agree with the way representatives have voted and bills they’ve supported?
Or do you only care about “perspective”?
Or are you just a month old account that only talks about voting for Jill Stein?
I voted for Harris already.
