I do agree that they’re not all bad. The governor of Colorado, Jared Polis, is a Democrat and I happen to like some of the things he’s done there. He didn’t go into full blown lock down during Covid like most other Democratic governors did. And he’s got some interesting ideas on taxes and the role of government.
But politicians like that are few and far between. In the political system here in the US, you get the top jobs by toeing the party line and raising a shit load of money, not by making things better for the citizens you represent.
I’m not a big Tulsi Gabbard fan, but look what happened to her when she strayed off the reservation a little bit.
