Shadi Hamid wrote Monday, "I’m more critical of Democrats precisely because I expect more from them."

Ok...

On the other hand, "Democrats consistently fall short of the very ideals they profess to champion."

With you so far...

Examples of Democrats' "hypocrisy," according to Hamid, include, preaching tolerance and inclusion "while marginalizing pro-life Democrats, talking down to Black and brown voters, ignoring religious conservatives and dismissing the growing ranks of Americans who felt the party had become too radical on issues such as gender identity. On policy, what was once the working-class party chose to prioritize things such as college debt relief, which disproportionately benefits the wealthy."

Who knew the problem with Dems is actually they need to be more conservative? Really what we need is there to be absolutely no distinction between parties at all, not even relatively minor ones. Instead of an ineffective resistance, we, the American public, demand Chuck Schumer to actually give Donald Trump and Elon Musk a blow job live on C-SPAN. Thanks Hamid. Fuck you.
