    Yeah, I’d never vote for the Republican party but holy shit I’m going to pressure the DNC to give us a non geriatric candidate every moment I can. I will criticize the failures of the Democratic party so loudly and publicly because that’s the only (non violent) way to get them to change. We need a better candidate, a better party, and a better country.

      Not only this (but also this), but Biden is literally the sitting president. We’re supposed to be able to criticize and pressure the sitting president into doing better, and it would sure be nice if we could do so without status quo defending establishment Democrats hand waving our concerns away.

        Which is conveniently what I have been being told since I started voting Democrat over 20 years ago.

        In their eyes, the best time to criticize the Democrats is never because there is always another election coming up.

          Yes, so much this! The moment Biden took office and immediately started opening more concentration camps, the Democrats were already doing this!

          It’s just a tactic used to silence leftists and progressives while trying to shame us into voting for whatever ghoul they prop up for election.
