  One party does it based on reality and the other based on whatever they made up that is getting traction with their userbase.

      Vance literally said this. “I will make up whatever story is needed to draw attention to a subject that is important to my voters donors”

        I wasn’t suggesting that Republicans don’t do this

  I never really cared for politics until very recently, so i always thought its discourse would be grounded in logic and not logical fallacies. So i am quite shocked.

    Sorry that the reality is that most humans who are pursuing power are doing it simply for powers’ sake because they’re self-centered garbage.

    At one point it was more grounded, but that was before Rush Limbaugh.

    You should try reading actual political theory. You’ll find that western politics isn’t and has never been grounded in reality. It does not have a material basis and as such it gains support through the people’s emotions, especially fear and anger.

    Here’s some easy reading to get you started

    • The Communist Manifesto[Text][Audio]
    • Blackshirts and Reds[Text][Audio]
    • The Principles of Communism[Text][Audio]
    • Introduction to Political Economy[Text]

    I don’t expect to shove books like this in your face and actually have you immediately read all of them. You may not be at the part of your political developement where you have any motivation to do that. So here are some youtube channels that cover the material in them and apply that material to modern reality in a more easily digestable way.

    • Second Thought
    • 1Dime
    • Balkan Odyssey
    • Bes D. Marx
    • F.D Signifier
    • Fredda
    • horses
    • Andrewism

    None of these people get everything perfect all the time but they are generally good in my experience. Best of luck learning.
