It's not "as though." It's, "they don't." Period.

They don't. I've heard too many interviews with influential Republicans lately who all but say (well, one did, Dana Loesch) they don't care about policy or the character or past actions of their candidates/members, they just want control of Congress in Nov. That's shameful.

Right or Left it's all just political labeling & branding. They are all the same bad product because in the end of the day they all go to the same country club together on weekends. Voters need to educate themselves on the issues & get involved in their democracy

If you start calling cato far right, you may realize your entire way of defining political ideologies is completely off. It’d be better to live in reality than to mislabel things.
