You and I both know those who identify as democrats on this board are conveniently quiet when the shoe is on the other foot. You know, the same folks who claimed Trump and the Republicans were dividing the nation, all the while throwing out the race card like a blackjack dealer in Vegas.
 
'We need to build dialogue and understanding!' Yet, when one of their own is caught red-handed perpetrating the most egregious of racist actions (one that would trigger an avalanche of media coverage and condemnation from the people I refer to on this board) the dialogue and understanding, or even the willingness for a simple mea culpa, disappears.

Isn't it the same with the Republicans on this board?

I'm not a Democrat, but I do know that many times when I could have contributed "Oh, that is terrible..." I don't bother because it's already been said 10 times, and yet another one doesn't add much to the discussion.

Nope. Republicans are far more engaged debating the issues, whether that be defending or agreeing. The left on this board pissed and whined while Trump was in office but almost refuse to engage when it's the policies of their own party in question. 

As I asserted before, why should they when there is almost an entire estate dedicated to their cause.

You're editing as I'm responding.

Mea culpa is not the most accurate of terms, but you understand the premise.

I think you're a good guy, Marty, but as I stated before, you tend to take the path of least resistance. You want to maintain a centrist position and that's understandable, but I just don't get the impression you're a guy who digs his heels in. Being stubborn and persistent doesn't imply prejudice.
