    It’s sad that we’re in an era where any accountability at all is considered hostility to party. Even nuanced, well thought out takes get shit on. It’s as if everybody wants to be subjected to worse and worse times. We all need to realise that the flaws of the corporate Democrat world are holding us back, and no that is not to suggest the crimes of corporate Democrats are comparable to those of the virtual entirety of current Republican leaders who are actively trying to dismantle the system itself, but status quo politicians of any party have got to get put in check or we’re only going to continue to suffer as a whole.

      You’re missing the point. Allowing credence to criticizing the Democrats undermines their ability to take up Republican seats in Congress, which is what people need to avoid the fucking Trumptards taking over and killing everyone else.

      I agree it’s stupid and we need a third party, but this is what other people want. They’re probably not wrong.
