There’s a habit angry people adopt online: Create one single entity based on multiple “infractions” from others. Then these angry people apply that schema to the next person that dares to breathe any dissent against their party/issue/person of choice. They channel that rage so precisely and yet it’s at the wrong target.

You seem well-intentioned but you’ve fallen into that trap. You’re also guilty of something else even more egregious: You’re equating my criticism of actual recent behavior of democrats with evil intent.

Look hard enough and you’ll realize you’re simply adopting the same strategy MAGA has for Dotard. We can all try to be better than MAGA. That seems an easy task.

I will criticize spineless behavior every single time I see it because I expect better from the Democrats. Lately they’ve not been living up to that ideal.

Look at this fucker act all high and mighty while screaming "blue maga". You're not slick, we see you for what you are. People like you empower the Trump admin.

Being critical of leadership is how you know you’re not in a cult.

DNC are elected by people. We are the leadership. We're critical of the DNC but blaming them for actions by Republicans, even falsely comparing the two, is stupid bullshit.

Where did I blame them? Point to the exact words.

I wouldn't criticize the DNC for the GOP holding the entire US government hostage before tax season, but I do blame the 7 and 1 Independent who voted in a way that gave up leverage for extending Medicaid tax credits. Again, though, this all happened because of the fucking Republicans in the first place.

I hope you’ll someday re-read these comments and realize I’m agreeing with you.

You're out here spreading anti-DNC propaganda. Maybe you're aware of it, maybe not.

Jesus Christ, you are an insufferable Eeyore.

Criticizing democrats for spineless behavior is not anti-DNC nor is it pro-RNC. It’s also not propaganda if the truth is what is spoken. Would you like a history lesson? It only happened a heartbeat ago.

I have you tagged as Obtuse/Stupe. Keep living up to that, I guess.
