    A criticism of the Democratic party is not automatically part of a right wing tactic, you’re making that assumption. That’s in your mind only and not in reality.

    Chastising people for ever giving criticism to the party you support makes you insufferable and makes your party seem like a cult where no questioning is ever allowed.

      Holy fuck. I didn’t say criticism of the democratic party is automatically a right wing tactic. Get some goddamned reading comprehension. I swear you’re just trolling me at this point.

      In case you’re not, I’ll give it one more shot. I said there is a specific right wing effort to get left wing people to not vote by calling out issues where the Democrats aren’t left enough (but where the Republicans are much worse) in order to convince people not to vote. If your posts look like that, for example if you post a typical “genocide Joe” post, you need to be downvoted, because there is no way allowing another Trump victory is the right answer to “the Democrats aren’t left enough”. This in no way stops anyone from posting nuanced criticism or even just “I wish the Democratic leadership had more courage to fight Israel we should support Bernie Sanders’ campaign to withhold funding and petition our representatives to support the motion”. Anything with ANY nuance, or genuine desire for improvement of the democratic party will be VERY different from this tactic. If you don’t want to be downvoted all you have to do is include the slightest bit of additional thought, information, input, nuance or advice. If you don’t, not only does your post look exactly like a right wing voter suppression post, and should be downvoted on that basis alone, but also clearly has no real new thoughts to offer and would be downvoted on that basis anyways.
