we're not asking for a "love-in", we'd just wish Republicans would stop threatening people's jobs and stop impeding people's right to vote for one thing. Tu quoque this as much as you want, it doesn't make the extortion and foul play any more right, and it doesn't make any of the bigotry right either.

Like it or not, the GOP has come associated with anti-women, anti-gay, and anti-minority policies. Distancing themselves from that is their responsibility and until they do that they can expect more losses in future election years. That is neither the voter's responsibly or the Democrat's responsibility.
