Truly reasonable people can’t identify with either party as they operate in DC or elsewhere. They have become meaningless elite whores.
DC is its own ecosystem. Of, by and for itself.
The so-called reporters and media elites are co-dependent organisms. Basically a condition of mutualistic symbiosis.
They exist to perpetuate the system and benefit themselves. The media also serves as a defensive mechanism to protect its fellow inhabitants of the Swamp.
