    Criticism of antidemocratic behavior from the Democratic Party ≠ propaganda telling you not to vote.

    Claiming that it is IS, on the other hand, is the equivalent of “vote for the lesser oppressor without comment. Dissent is treason.”

        the fact this shit only ever really comes up is noticed right before an election against republicans…

        Fixed it for you. I call out the bullshit of both parties all year every year. So do most people who aren’t party loyalists with blinders on.

        bad faith argument is bad faith

        Yep. That’s what the “you’re only criticizing Dems to help Republicans” deflection is. It’s a a bad faith argument and a strawman.
