I yearn for the days SNL and comedians were not political hacks in disguise.

I mean, one party lacks an actual platform and the other has a wide spectrum of members. Political parties in this country only exist to provide a structure for elections and members are not beholden to any sort of party positions. The majority of voters only have ad hoc policy positions and are not ideological other than the superficial things we see with the most ardent followers.

Democrats had better do as much as they can if and when they defeat Trump, because once he's out of the picture, many never Trumpers that held their nose when they voted Democrat will be gone from their ranks. It's not a good sign when the other party is temporarily losing members to your side and you can barely beat them.
