    No, they literally aren’t. Liberal Democrats are intellectually bankrupt. Kept purposely ignorant like all Americans. Cause just about as many problems as they solve. But they can be reasoned with, are generally rational, and mean well despite their repeated mistakes. Calling them evil belittles what actual evil is.

    Modern Democrats gave us marriage equality, the civil rights act of 1964, the ACA for all it’s flaws etc. They’re the modern spiritual continuation of those who fought for women’s suffrage, and against the south in the civil war. (Though don’t get me wrong. I can still offer a ton of criticisms about Lincoln and his Republicans of the time.) Yes they’ve weakened everything they’ve ever touched and caused plenty of damage as well. But they can’t even approach the depths of depravity, inhumanity, and abject malice of conservatives/Republicans and those who fund them.
