    And? Does this mean he is immune to criticism because he’s not Trump? This is a pretty big fuckup, even if it’s an accident.

      According to the Dem leadership, campaign strategists, and every “Blue No Matter Who” automaton?

      Yes. That’s exactly what everything means. About both him and his politically identical VP.

        It just means we didn’t want orange Hitler act 2. Ds aren’t good but they’re objectively better than any R. I do what I want in the primary then what I must in the general. If you can’t get behind that well… here’s 2025 hope one of y’all can shelter me when the new gestapo comes around.

          No, that part is self evident. Everyone sane and not the victim of intense brainwashing agrees on that.

          Where we differ is your false framing.

          To pretend that you either support one side unconditionally and never criticize ANYTHING about it no matter what or you’re on the other side is absolute lunacy. That or deliberate gaslighting.

          If you can’t get behind that well

          Again with that stupid false dichotomy strawman combo 🤦

          Arrogance and obstinate refusal to listen like that from the Dem leadership and obsequious serfs like you is how the fascists won.

            Ah the part where you pretend screaming GeNoCiDe for a year and pretended Trump being worse was irrelevant had no effect on elections. I’m sure that of the record number who stayed home, none did it because of the GeNoCiDe frauds.

              screaming GeNoCiDe for a year

              Yeah, because being at all critical about active complicity in the worst crimes against humanity possible is the same as advocating for fascism! 🤦

              and pretended Trump being worse was irrelevant

              Yet another strawman. I did no such thing at any point.

              I’m sure that of the record number who stayed home, none did it because of the GeNoCiDe frauds.

              And I’m equally sure that nobody stayed home because even the lesser evil refused to listen to the vast majority of the people they’re supposed to represent. That’s not at ALL something that could suppress voter participation! 🙄

        I feel the need to say I completely agree with you. Normally when people quote me I think they are arguing with me idk.

        fistbump

        Edit: Tell me why you are downvoting me, you cowards!

          Yes, really. That’s how they lost to the most unqualified, dishonest, and mentally unhinged presidential candidate in modern history. Twice.

            Sure, that’s what it is, because people said we should vote for Biden instead of hold him to a high standard while ignoring Trump acting like neo-Hitler.

              Again with the false dichotomy: it is in fact possible to vote for someone without holding them blameless no matter what they do or don’t do.

              You’re not just allowed but REQUIRED to hold the ones meant to represent you to a high standard if you want anything to improve.

              “Anything better than Trump is good enough” is not how you end up with people accurately representing the will of the people or even PRETENDING to.

                LMAO and yet you started this thread ranting about how if someone ever pushed back on you, it means they are fully intolerant of ANY criticism of ANY Democrat, ever.

                  Nope, sure didn’t. That’s just you projecting.

                  I can explain it for you, and I have, but I can’t understand it for you. Have the day you deserve.

                    All anyone has to do is scroll up to be reminded. You claimed your “enemy” is entirely incapable of nuance and in the way you did so, proved you aren’t.

                    Thanks for the weird threat to my day tho?
