I literally do blame the Democrats for Trump, and if you don't, you weren't paying attention.
Plenty of us were critiquing Clinton's campaign on those merits and were consistently talked down to in shocker the same way we're being talked down to now. Shocker, she lost. I remember saying a few weeks before the election "We're about to get Brexited." I put my vote down for Clinton, because Trump is fucking insane, and that was clear before he was President. It was clear in the fucking 1980's.
Being able to critique our leaders is supposed to be what is the difference between us and conservative voters. They're the cult who unquestioningly believes all the bullshit that comes out of Trump's mouth and diapers. I find it weird that people think we should be more like them in regards to our leaders like that would be a good thing.
woosh
Hey just so we're clear you do realise the primaries are right now? So in your own words this is exactly the time to be critiquing.
and the progressive replacement candidate that you're all campaigning for is definitely real and an obvious choice. that's why you're all campaigning for us to vote for them instead in our totally not cancelled primaries precisely because there has been no such challenger in time and definitely not just relitigating old mistakes and common criticisms of the incumbent candidate.
oh wait.
Right, and we've immediately circled back to 'there is no time where it is appropriate to criticize the presumed candidate.'
I'm sure the DNC saying they wouldn't hold primary debates a week before Biden announced he planned to seek re-election didn't have anything to do with no one running against him. I'm sure all the one-term president talk we got to make us step in line back in 2020 didn't set up any expectation we might have a voice in who we ran in 2024. I'm sure you wouldn't be trotting out the exact same garbage even if someone serious was running against him.
Oh wait.
I think you might be the woosh since you don't think actions demotivate people, only people talking about those things.
Also, assumptions that we don't take part in the process has been going on for over twenty years as well. But I guess you don't give a shit enough to find out if I'm actually involved, do you? Easier to just assume I'm not, right? Than to have to actually engage with the point?
