    So you think we need to be more like the Republicans and fall in line to reject any and all criticism of our leaders, and that’s the path to fighting fascism? Buddy, that is fascism.

    These warped ideals are exactly why the Democratic party is in the position that it’s in. Criticism isn’t the issue, it’s the shitty politicians pushing Republican ideals through the lens of liberalism and giving people reason to criticize. Sweeping that under the rug just to win an election isn’t solving anything. It just leads to more Trump-like candidates holding office while people continue to suffer.

      There was enough criticism of democrats to get Trump and his cronies into office twice and now there may be no more elections.

      There are no criticisms that are worth getting Trump elected.

      Every little nitpick is just anther talking point to be amplified by foreign bots and GOP propaganda.

        The criticism is what prevented Clinton and Harris from getting elected and not their own words, actions, and campaigns? Same with Biden, too, and his extremely narrow victory in 2020? These three individuals who couldn’t manage to be more appealing than a failed businessman and reality TV star who’d been a laughing stock in this country for nearly 3 decades preceding his victory?

        Your comment reads like propaganda, and your ideals mirror that of fascists like Putin. You want a dictatorship in this country where criticism is silenced and leaders do what they want, and it looks like you finally got it with Trump. It makes sense why you’re so opposed to the DNC doing literally anything differently than their nearly thrice failed strategy of mimicking the right. You want them to keep losing.
