    so you would have a further rightward DNC?

    just because you are not the worst thing ever does not give you immunity from criticism.

    the democrats SUCK. wether the republicans suck harder is not relevant and does not make the critique less true, and voting blue no matter who has given us candidates that would have been republicans 10 years ago

      It’s a public Twitter post, not a Lemmy post on .ml!

      If a stranger in public tells you that Democrats are bad your first thought is that they are Maga, not they they are leftist.

            either enough to be responsible for the democrats to need them to win elections and so criticism is warranted, or not enough to warrant attacking them, you can’t have both

              I asked your estimate for the percentage of Americans that are leftist/marxist/anarchist.

              Do you guess 20%? 40%? More?

                fourteen bajillion and one percent.

                what you are asking is not quantifiable, a thought terminating cliche, and is not a useable metric on policy nor politics. i don’t identify as anything other then outside left.

                the demand to vote blue no matter who is an admition that the chosen candidate supports unpopular policy. the attempt to pivot away from criticisms of the democratic party because republicans are worse is a political strategy, manufactured by the democrats, to push obviously unpopular candidates.

                you disagree with a criticism of the dnc? the honest interlocketer answers that criticism. the dishonest bastard labels them a maga plant because they don’t want to be seen arguing for the benefit of corporations over people.

                  This isn’t about policy.

                  I asked any easy question and you won’t answer it because you are entrenched in an argument that no one made.

                  The argument isn’t about the need to criticize Democrats.

                  So stop with the dodges and address the likelihood that a random person on the street is leftist.

                  14% of Americans are favorable to communism. https://www.cato.org/blog/young-americans-socialism-too-much-thats-problem-libertarians-must-fix

                  That means if you criticize Democrats, there is an 86% chance a random American is not going to know where your criticism comes from. Because Trump is constantly criticizing Democrats.

                    i haven’t dodged a single thing you said. attempting to demand a percent of labeled progressives was a dishonest deflection away from demands that the dnc answer to valid criticism.

                    the criticism speaks for itself, if the dnc will not answer to it. so the question is what criticism of the dnc would point to republicans being the preferred option to the politically illiterate? because if the criticism is valid, that is a problem. a problem THAT SHOULD BE CALLED THE FUCK OUT PUBLICLY.

                    let’s have an example of a criticism of the dnc that you think requires a no maga sticker?
