The far right criticises the Dems as much as the left.
You 100% have to make it clear where the critique comes from.
It’s easy to tell as the right’s criticism is they eat babies, they’re demon spawn, welfare queens, nothing true just emotionally applied rhetoric. Where as the left would say they’re barely better than Republicans in regards to wars and keeping them going in perpetuity, they could pass universal healthcare instead of what the ACA was but through either naivety or incompetence reached out to Republicans to help make a plan “both parties would be happy with” for the Republicans not to vote for it at all.
Where as the left would say they’re barely better than Republicans
Well, that and that they eat babies (just like the republicans.)
The other thing is that some people seem to only drag dems and anyone main stream calls “progressive.”
So many libs fail the “You hate pancakes” test every hour.
True, but i think there’s something to be said about moving past the democrats mediocrity and calling out directly the republican president leader of a global sex trafficking ring. Like yeah schumer sucks he’s pathetic. Let’s put that aside because donald fucking trump is still running the misnamed epstein child sex trafficking ring.
Given the majority of the US voted for Trump, yeah you kind of do. Maga’s continue to blame all their problems on Democrats. So if you criticize Democrats, who have no power in the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and Presidency, people are going to assume you are MAGA
Given the majority of the US voted for Trump,
Doubt. Without checking I would guess the majority didn’t vote at all.
The majority of voters*
Pretty sure he lost the popular vote
sigh The majority of electoral votes. Your semantic games are tiring. The majority of the voters that matter voted for him. it’s dumb and I’d love to change it but this is the world we currently live in. So unless you’re ready to violently overthrow the government (and good luck with that), deal with the problem as it exists, not as you wish it existed
so you would have a further rightward DNC?
just because you are not the worst thing ever does not give you immunity from criticism.
the democrats SUCK. wether the republicans suck harder is not relevant and does not make the critique less true, and voting blue no matter who has given us candidates that would have been republicans 10 years ago
It’s a public Twitter post, not a Lemmy post on .ml!
If a stranger in public tells you that Democrats are bad your first thought is that they are Maga, not they they are leftist.
No… it doesn’t. Someone on the right could use the same logic to say that criticizing anyone to the left of the dems is implied.
