I don’t think blue team good, red team bad is a very mature take on US politics. When it comes to substantive policy, voters do not get a choice. The same wars will be fought. The same lobbies will have their way. Just because one side will make tactless, self-deifying inaugural speeches about how the sea levels will cease to rise and the Earth will start to heal, that does not make it so.

I think that if these sensors were providing useful, actionable information more valuable than their maintenance cost is not well supported.

> Why save all the blame for the side that actually put up resistance

Resistance is one definition, I guess. A very loose definition.

I'd call it what it was. Career sociopaths decided to put a career sociopath on the ballot instead of someone the left's citizens would actually like.
