Something that I realized about the fediverse is that you seem to be able to criticize the USA as a whole, but if you criticize the Democrats you get downvoted. Democrats suck they are not sacred cows
I legitimately haven't seen anyone defend democrats. They're like the IRS: necessary, but no one likes them.
What I have seen is "democrats suck!" as a general deflection anytime someone mentions how bad this current administration is, how it could have been prevented, or what we need to do in the future...
Democrats are only necessary if your goal is to maintain the illusion that America is a democracy which serves the people while maintaining the status quo.
Democrats are a net negative. What is necessary is something we don't have and haven't had, a true leftist party. The lack of that necessary party is what has led us to this current situation.
The Republicans being bad doesn't make the Democrats good. Especially when they are complicit.
I have seen plenty and Democrats are not like the IRS. They are not necessary at all. They are just one right wing party that should disappear and be taken by an actual left wing party. The fact that you think that they are necessary shows how deep the ingraining of the necessity of a bipartisan oligopoly has run in the populous.
Is this leap because of the .ml on their name? I'm not trying to agitate you but it took me too long to understand how Putin was a part of this conversation. I could also just be dumb or missed something.
They aren't wrong that the Dems are a right wing party and we deserve better, especially when compared to European politics.
If you told a lib they can't drive because they're too drunk they'd tell you only a paid Putin troll would say it and drive off yelling about democracy
That's even worse. At least your politicians have shares in US companies and get bribes, what's your excuse for white knighting a corporate party from a country you can't even vote in?
It's exactly this racism as a first recourse to defend your oligarchy that has your settler country in the shitter. America can't die fast enough i stg.
