    That may be because you’re too smart to think of politics as team sports.

    Unfortunately, there’s a majority of people who see it as tribalism because they don’t have the intelligence to think about politics further than Red vs Blue.

        You can blame Jamie Horowitz for that…

        He used to run ESPN and brought the shouting talking heads 4square to “news” broadcasting when he moved to fox. He is the reason that the news is no longer the news, it’s because of him we don’t watch the news to find out what happened, and instead watch the news so that we can know how to feel about it…

        He weaponized the angry red-faced bald white men yelling over each other, it was great when it was coaches but it’s destroyed society and scrambled fragile voter brains

      You mean voting ‘responsibly’ doesnt mean voting ‘blue no matter what’ like some people thought the voices meant? Like voting to save a country from a fascist rapist who is doing the things he said he would do, doesnt mean you support GENOCIDE? What will they think of next…?
