Issues where 'your side' frustrates you

[Coolface Sock #42069]

The fact that they nominated Donald Trump for president.

Hypocritical criticism of Democrats for spending so much taxpayer money and then spending even more than the Democrats when we get full control of the federal government (2003-2007, for example). Also, claiming to want small government but being totally OK with mass surveillance, banning early-term abortions, banning gay marriage, and spending the absurd amount of money that American taxpayers spend on defense every year.

Harboring of bigotry, particularly racism and Islamophobia.

Outright, blatant demagoguery and spewing falsehoods to get votes. I understand that most if not all politicians do this, but I'm just criticizing my own party for now. You wouldn't believe the kind of crap that comes to me daily via email. Just ridiculous, hateful conspiracy theories to incite hatred against the left.

Refusal to make any type of meaningful investment in outreach to groups that are currently underrepresented in our coalition. I hate identity politics, but we can at least try to meet these people where they are (in other words, come to their communities and make our case and show concern and interest in their situations). Paul Ryan wanted to do this in 2012, but it got shut down.
