(A political analogy.)
For decades, one thing has been clear: Democrats are just too damn nice! If you're looking for a smidgen of open-mindedness, an occasional willingness to compromise, and semi-honest advertising, look to the Dems. On the other hand, if you seek rigid dogmatism, my-way-or-the-highway ultimatums, and fact-free, ends-justify-the-means ad campaigns, then the GOP is your bunch.
But despite getting repeatedly fleeced, fucked and lied to by the R's, it seems the D's are always ready to trust, play nice, and give up many things they want, hoping in vain the R's will someday return the favor and behave reasonably. But they never do, and the D's live in a state of constant amazement at the tactics of their opponents -- "Can you believe the shit they just pulled? That sucks! We'd never do anything like that!"
Republicans are Lucy VanPelt holding the football.
Democrats are Charlie Brown running up to kick it.
