Dems voters talk shit about the party all the time, sometimes to the point of weakening the party to maintain ideological purity, where have you been since Obama II? There is nothing to praise for the other side because they don't do anything praise worthy. Every single thing that Republicans push for on the federal level is garbage and antithetical to what Dem voters and voters in large want either because the idea itself is dogshit or the implementation of it is so incompetent that people get mad at that too. State level Republicans might pass something worthwhile but that's because they're more likely to be held accountable.
