Which is exactly why the Democratic party stagnates around indecision. Every issue is "yeah, but..." Where as the Republican party just ignores literal crimes in their midst, because he's "their guy". This isn't inherently an American problem, it's a political one. Who is cheerleading? Both things can be true too, one is less evil but still needs to be fixed, it's a lot better than literally chopping your own foot off with a blunt shovel and blaming the other guy. I've always been taught and discovered myself that one must always challenge authority, and to beware anyone promising you exactly what you want to hear.
