I think his point is you don't have to love and agree with everyone under the tent, but if you're criticizing or sabotaging them publicly, you're working for the benefit of the opposing party. That needs to stop if we're ever going to get rid of MAGA.
Can't help notice a Ukranian flag in your bio but not a Palestinian flag. Is it because dead Ukes are "white" and Palestinians not so much? Genocidal blue maga needs to be destroyed as thoroughly as genocidal red maga.
Not really- we have to form the new party, get behind it 100%
That's just acceptance of the status quo which has helped Trump get elected. People don't like the same old shit the Democrats are serving up. On cue, when the people are getting excited, up steps the chronically stupid & lazy, blaming anyone that speaks out & voters. 99-0
Criticising our genocide policies helps the enemy! Criticising millions in foreign donations helps the enemy! Maybe you might think of dropping AIPAC, and get people to vote for you because you have civilised, non genocidal, policies, unlike Maga?
What a load of crap.
So how do we force them to be better
Steel sharpens steel. If you can't stand up to criticism, the only recourse is to do better.
Shitty analogy because nothing you do makes you shape as steel.
It's an idiom, not an analogy.
Call it what you like, you’d be better off with the GOP dickhead
Ahh, got it. Scratch a liberal
Criticism or a differing opinion is not the same as tearing down.
Sure, true. But how often do people on the receiving end, like Jaime here, make that distinction?
I just reread his post. He does make that distinction. Pissing on something is not criticizing something; it’s degrading or destroying something.
Again, how do you think he would draw that distinction? He can say it as a hypothetical all he wants, we all know how these politicians react when you criticize them.
I didn’t say he was speaking hypothetically. He makes a distinction. What do you mean by “these politicians?” I don’t presume that you mean “all” since that would be a logical fallacy.
Sure, it's not all of them, but it's certainly most. Do you think, upon receiving valid criticism, a generic politician is more likely to take thay criticism in good faith, or lash out at the critic?
Do you think they're open to criticism? Or does it map more closely to reality that ANY criticism, constructive or otherwise, is lumped into one category?
Non stop shitting on Dems is actively helping MAGA so stop pretending that yall are being noble when you criticize incessantly
I dunno have you seen that guy from Maine lately? He's getting people pretty excited and happy. Oh and have you seen people's reactions to Pritzker? Absolutely shining. The problem is 100% the party leadership of losers.
Elevating Minneapolis Mayor Frey (techboy) instead of the VOTER CHOSEN winner of the Dems primary: Omar Fetah. jumped through hoops & official procedures to REVOKE endorsement of the voter's candidate. Elevating abuser Cuomo instead of voter chosen Mamdani. Dems leadership sucks. stop being awful.
Dems are helping MAGA enough as it is by being lukewarm coward enablers, they don't need our help.
Oh boy, are you even listening to the Dems speaking out???? Direct this energy to white people who gave us Trump again.
That's all they do: talk. Write angsty, pearl-clutching social media posts. Maybe request someone to do something. In the past few months, the most crazed lunatics even dared utter a few imprecations. Meanwhile, the cheeto reich continues without so much as a speed bump. Enablers, the lot of them.
You're replying on a post to the guy who was the head of the DNC for the 2024 election. You SHOULD have more heat for him, IF any single individual is responsible for the outcome of the election, he's top 3.
If you run a shitty national strategy and say “you cant call me out on it because the other side is worse” then you are a craven loser.
I didn’t say that. Learn how to read. Non stop bashing and slamming is completely different than a thoughtful callout. Now go and get your reading comprehension checked because I see it’s non existent
And how would you draw that distinction? Or is it just a reflex to refer to all criticism as "bashing?"
They are doing nothing, haven't most any of them saying anything. They need to get out and fight, if not move over and let people who will!
Fuck off. What are YOU doing?
no. shitty Dems empty talking points instead of decisive clear action is taking themselves down.
You can’t read, can you? I never said they can’t be criticized. I said the incessant bashing and ugliness is unnecessary. Now kindly go direct your anger at white voters who are responsible for this and leave ME alone.
Seems that no one can explain the difference between criticism and bashing to me. I've asked several people now, and they all ignore the question. Which is a big deal, because they tell me criticism is okay, but bashing is bad.
The conmen fascists in Blue leading the party into a ditch on purpose because they are #boughtandpaidfor by The Oligarchs & their #TechBoys is more than a criticism, it's treason. They should also be removed from power instead of on your team.
Can you come up with something substantial instead of dumb idioms and cliches?
