Exactly.
But my point here is that the GOP being "worse" (depending on policy, of course) doesn't make the Democratic Party "good," it just makes them "better" (again, depending on the policy).
And that's why I'm not registered with either major party, I vote differently based on the election. If I think we need to shift left or I have a really good option for a Dem, I'll vote Democrat. If I think we need a shift right and I have a really good option for a Rep, I'll vote Republican. Recently, I've been voting more Dem than Rep because I want to send a message that the current signaling just isn't acceptable. But I'll go back as soon as the MAGA nonsense goes away and we start getting good GOP candidates again.
