      You can be critical of the democratic party and still have voted for them. You can think they have their heads so far up their ass that they are walking around inside out, and still have voted for them.

      Some of us hate the Democratic party in it’s current state and want nothing more than to over turn it and “drain the swamp” but realize they are unfortunately the only safe option. That doesn’t mean they don’t need to change.

        Even if you didn’t vote Democrat, you have every right to rip their proverbial heads off and shit down their proverbial necks.

        They are the opposition party… and they’re doing nothing.

      Don’t get me wrong, I supported and voted for the Democrats. But currently? They seem like a bunch of pussies letting the Republican party cuck them of our democratic nation because they’re unwilling to be more ruthless. Uncivility and the breaking of precedent by the Republicans, should be met and pursued by with absolute cold efficiency and opportunism by the current Democratic party, in order to protect us, their constituents. They aren’t doing that though, and seem to even be capitulating and bending the knee to Republicans.

        If there were like 87 Al Greens yelling during the SOTU address, getting thrown out, yelling things that everyone cares about like “you’re crashing the fucking economy you moron,” then maybe the dems would have earned a little respect. But no, they brought cute polite ping pong protest paddles.

        Let’s be clear here: they were like that before we voted for them, too. But we held our noses and did it anyway, because – unlike the “genocide Joe” concern trolls – we both understood what was at stake and weren’t covertly supporting it.

          That is a major accusation, you think I covertly support a genocide?

          What the fuck are you smoking?

          Why the hell would I want mass amounts of innocent people to get slaughtered?

          Provide evidence of your accusation or stop making it immediately and indefinitely until you find actual evidence. I consider someone casually representing my position or others with similar views as being pro-genocide as a serious, reportable behavior on lemmy. Especially since it has become a pattern.

          I do not condone genocide, of anybody, period.

      Yes, anyone who has a problem with the Dems is automatically the bad guy. Democrats are perfect and never deserve criticism even from people who voted for them every damn year

        Who said that? I said the people and non protest voters are hanging themselves. Nice strawman!

      The only way the democrats could have won is if they changed direction. Nothing I did could have made Harris promising to build the wall popular.
