They hate the Republicans because they do evil things.

They hate the Democrats because they do nothing.

They absolutely hate Biden, Harris. Shumer, Jefferies etc as having done almost nothing when they had power.
1. They did not blow up the filibuster in the Senate to get things through
2. They didn't pass legislation on student loan debt...an executive order killed by the sinister six us viewed as doing worse than nothing. You promised something and didn't deliver.
3. They didn't eliminate the trump tax cuts and tax the rich.
4. Every accomplishment (chips, infrastructure, etc) is so far in the future that they think none if it will happen because the Republicans will write laws to undo all of it and refund them.
5. Biden and his administration are complicit in Trump's evil because they slow walked all prosecutions and did not release the Epstein files. They think that there are a lot of dem and Republicans mega donors that are being protected by both parties.
6. They think that the Democrats are just as much bought and paid for by billionaires trying to ruin the world as the Republicans,...

I don't agree with a lot of that. But they do not accept the notion that making perfection the enemy if the good is the problem.
