    They don’t want it gone. They don’t believe their team will actually hurt them. Despite many years of the GOP promising to do it.

      I used to believe the 2 party system made it into teams like sports, but I am thinking it is actually far worse these days. The vast majority of NFL fans for example will shit on their team players who make mistakes or make poor decisions. Drop a pass, keep missing tackles, get a drug charge… fuck that guy, cut him. When people do fantasy football, or pick football pools of which teams will win or gamble online on games, they won’t just pick their players or their team to win if they think they will perform bad and hurt their winnings. People will have bias, but if the Chiefs are playing the Raiders and your a Raiders fan, your still picking the Chiefs to win that game because it will benefit you more at the end of the day.

      Party cuts your medical coverage, increases the age you can collect social security (your money you lended the government essentially), or downright deports one of your friends/family, and people still “pick them” to win.
