The left has a right to demonize the opposition as reparations for past oppressions.
I retract this.We need to avoid getting overly attached to this notion of "both sides -ism." Becoming attached to one's identity as a centrist is no better than becoming attached to one's identity as a leftist or rightist. Any such attachments ultimately serve to impede one's capacity for rational thought. The reality is that the Democratic and Republican parties are two separate organizations with two very different histories, and as a result, each has developed its own unique set of problems over time (although there is undeniably a lot of overlap).
Upon further consideration, there's so much overlap between the Democrats and the Republicans that they're essentially mirror images of each other.
