As I noted in an earlier Post, I’ve come to see the Democratic and Republican parties as a “similar pair.” For over a year, I’ve been closely following political news articles and blogs, paying equal attention to their comment sections. This isn’t my first dive into their similarities, but over the past 4-6 months, this exploration has left me puzzled: why can’t two such apparent political foes see their own parallels—especially in the ways they criticize each other?!
