The other side tolerates almost ridiculous levels of leftist behavior in their party, so much so that they have a moderate Democrat as their candidate this year. Just look at how a 1% candidate for the Dems is now touted with great conviction to be the most important candidate they've ever had. No one spoke out against Kackela, not even a few of all those millions of voters who didn't (and wouldn't have) vote for her. Because they are all just brainwashed into the leftist cloud.

Lol.

You can LOL all you want but there is serious validity to FSG’s post.  Take a step back since you proclaim an analytical approach to things.  The 1960’s democratic party may have been an open tent for ideas and the republicans were in the McCarthy camp but the script has definitely flipped by 2024.  If you cannot see this flip in script then you have become part of the establishment and need to turn in your analytical thinking credentials.  Today’s democratic party demands fealty, you can acknowledge it or not. It’s up to you.
