Why are so many people obssessed with their party alignment?


It's like many people have to support their side no matter how incompetent they might be and goes on a huge rant with anyone who disagrees with them, stating that they've done nothing wrong.

Not true. Democrats criticize other democrats all the time. Notice how Cuomo and Franken had to resign. And Progressives are very vocal against Moderates. And Biden was receiving heavy criticism.

Republicans expect more loyalty, therefore more likely to attack or pushout anyone with opposing views even if their actions are correct like Cheney or even Pence who refused to help install a dictatorship.

I'm hoping Moderate Republicans form a new party since the GOP is filled with extremists and crackpots like QAnoners and neoNazis.

"Notice how Cuomo and Franken had to resign."

Pat Meehan, Republican US Representative, forced to resign in 2018
Trent Franks, Republican US Representative, forced to resign in 2017
Tim Murphy, Republican US Representative, forced to resign in 2017
Blake Farenthold, Republican US Representative, forced to resign in 2018
Chris Lee, Republican US Representative, forced to resign in 2011
Mark Souder, Republican US Representative, forced to resign in 2010
John Ensign, Republican U.S. Senator, forced to resign in 2009

You really are clueless.

"Democrats criticize other democrats all the time. And Progressives are very vocal against Moderates. And Biden was receiving heavy criticism."
"Republicans expect more loyalty, therefore more likely to attack or pushout anyone with opposing views"

Sounds like you're saying the same thing about both parties.

Meehan wasn't running for reelection and chose to resign.
Franks chose to resign.
Murphy forced to resign by Republican leaders.
Farenthold chose to resign.

Only one example since the party has become extremist. GOP is supporting that nutjob Marjorie Taylor Greene.
