So first off, fuck republicans and MAGA Nazis. But when can we criticize Dems? Couldn’t last year bc election year, couldn’t before bc it was hurting Biden, and can’t now because it would hurt 2026 and 2028 odds… so like can we never criticize them???

this was historically a big issue for dems but tbqh I haven’t gotten that vibe since Trump won this time. I think the vast majority of democratic voters (not elected officials) have come around to the idea that something needs to change

Nobody. But just listing off reasons Blue MAGA and libshits usually give for why we can’t critique the Dems in a given moment

Oh absolutely. But the party and its core base is still towing the line

even Kamala hinted at it when she was on Colbert this past week. I think if mamdani wins NYC mayor that will be the first domino

I definitely don’t think Harris has any part in any solution. Either Dems need to clean house, especially at the DNC and Senate, or toss them imo.

So you’re complaining about a problem that isn’t actually impacting you or preventing you from doing anything?

yeah sorry, I’m not trying to say she’s a good option. But I’m saying if the most establishy establishment Democrat is saying “oh shit democracy is broken here, something’s gotta give”, that gives me hope that we might be able to put better people in a better direction

there’s criticism that falls on deaf ears, and there’s criticism that causes meaningful change. The latter is what gets blocked and why dems are frustrated.
