Please do not equate the parties. It is incredibly naïve to see two parties that aren't perfect and somehow wave your arms and say they are equivalently bad. They are clearly different both in terms of their policy objectives and their willingness to stay within the realm of truth and science.


Please do equate them. Neither stays at all within the realm of truth and science. I can't believe anyone still genuinely thinks either party does in the year 2022.


You are defining an arbitrary boundary and making a false dichotomy. Do you understand what I'm saying?

Stop putting them in the same category. This is useless and nondescriptive. Here's what I mean by that : if you were to build a machine learning classifier with a decision tree algorithm, what do you think some of the most important differentiators would be?

Tell me which party tends to acknowledge scientific evidence more often.

A fool sets impossible standards and moans that everyone falls short.

Accept reality. Choose from the better options. There is no perfect except in mathematics (and maybe some physics we don't know yet)


Are you legitimately "both sides"-ing Democrats and Republicans here? Wake me up when a horde of armed Democrats storms the Capitol.


If Democrats stormed the capital they would probably do an energy efficiency retrofit. HANG the chandeliers ... show them the LED ... lights.

Sorry let me be more polite.

Your attempt to compare the Republican and Democratic parties creates a false equivalency. This is demonstrated by the January 6th insurrection fomented by a Republican president and covered up by the Republican establishment, which has no analog in the Democratic space.

Democrats do bad things. The bad things they do aren't as bad as what Republicans do. It's like having both pancreatic cancer and a zit, one's worse than the other.


OK let's throw snowballs at each other and see where that gets us.

We're on hacker news and hopefully we've all read the guidelines. Please respond to a charitable interpretation of the other party.

I'm still waiting you for you to address the questions presented.
