It's wild to me how someone can say "I voted against fascism" and still be accused of "letting Republicans keep power"
That's exactly what they want, if you don't vote for their approved candidate, you're against everything they stand for.
No, what they want is for everyone to stop shitting on their candidate. It doesn't matter (to them) who the candidate is or if you vote for them - if you're drawing attention to how shitty they are then you're just as culpable for their loss as the opposition.
The emperor has no clothes.
This is exactly it. They view the person pointing out the problem as the problem. Not accepting that if we can see the problem it doesnt matter how much you scream at people to ignore it.
'It doesnt matter how you vote if you end up speaking ill of my party'
Ok bud.
So do yours. If you want to admonish people for expressing their discontent with democratic representatives, then good luck I guess. Hope you're getting paid for that sisyphean task, because it sure as fuck seems like a hopeless one.
No, you certainly are able. I just think it's exceedingly stupid, even from an electoral perspective. People can very well see that there are huge problems with the democratic platform, whether or not they are nervous they'll be accused of favoring the fascist party for acknowledging them.
Democrats would very much like to pretend as if the fascists are an isolated problem, because otherwise they'd be forced to entertain the possibility that their majority coalition has collapsed because there is something seriously wrong with their platform and not - as some are suggesting - because people are mad at them for no discernible reason whatsoever.
How is anything they said Republican?
