Democrats often display they same intolerance towards republicans though. Both parties have a habit of attacking rather than supporting. I thought this election might be different with the democrats, and I think its improved, but they still fight in the mud far too often for my liking.
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.
