I do believe the requirement is that you just need to be specific. Republicans generally suck all around right now so that’s a valid statement.

However, if you’re going to complain about Democrats you need to say something like, “the leadership sucks” or, “there’s too many rich people influencing the party!”

That’s been my experience so far 🤷

Democrats suck and are ineffectual at accomplishing their (generally decent) goals.

Republicans are trying to turn the US into a dicatorship. I hope this was a hyperbolic statement, but it seems like this is where we are now.

Why can’t we be critical of democrats by being selective in the primaries? I think that a protest vote for an independent candidate, especially if you were in a swing state, has proven to have been a very poor choice.

Edit: To add to my initial point, I think that we are seeing a lot of post-hoc rationalization from non-voters and protest voters.

You would have to be crazy to prefer the outcome that we got over having Kamala, and if you contributed to our current situation, fuck you.

Umm… Even us on .world agree that Dems are controlled opposition and useless if we want any actual change.

It’s a symptom of our two-party voting system. I lost faith in the Democratic party’s ability to do anything effectual a long fuckin time ago, the game is rigged for the rich and it will be until we wipe them from the face of the earth.

Nah. Both parties suck. Repubs damage, Dems half ass do damage control, then sit around making minor changes and act like they’re saviors. The geriatric fucks that hold seats have no semblance of understanding the current world and so we fall behind the curve further every year. Easy things that are obvious never get passed because those get bribed. Sick of the whole system obviously.

You would think committing a genocide would’ve settled the whole “lesser evil” thing, but the Blue MAGA cult insists there’s a way to commit lesser evil genocide now.

Obama and Biden said they’d legalize weed. They didn’t. They failed to put abortion rights into the constitution. I mean I can go on these are just off the top of my head.

They are not immune to legit criticism, however it seems like people get the idea that if you criticize democrats that means you are a die hard Trumper or something…

The Democratic Party as a whole is like milk in your fridge that’s a week past its “best by” date.

The Republican Party is milk that a dog vomited on a Texas in July sidewalk.

We’re drinking one of them, because no alternative is possible in the near term.

It’s possible to vote for Democrats in 2026 and '28 and '30 and '32 while we build an alternative that can have electoral success, or takeover the Democratic Party from within or heck turn the Republican Party into a party worth supporting…

Yeah Democrats sucks, but to in any way imply that Republicans are the solution is just bootlicking at this point. One is a political party and one is dismantling the country for profit.

Liberals think Democrats aren’t half to blame for this shitty country being the way it is.

What I constantly hear is deflections about how voting doesn’t matter, but it fucking does, yes the Democrats suck but they are better, it’s not even close.

Fight back and do everything you can to change what’s going on and blame Democrats but don’t sell out an entire election cycle to literal Satan to make that point

all that does is irreversible damage
