Yeah. I’m giving it a hefty scoop of benefit of the doubt, and dealing with it at face value in terms of “how do we get better behavior from the Democrats as pertains to issues like Gaza,” because there is a valid complaint about how shit the Democrats can be in congress and as a general rule. But I also won’t disagree with you on the bigger picture here.
If you’re an activist trying to get better results out of the American political system, that sounds like a fuckin fantastic idea. Trying to get there by denying credit to the Democrat’s tiny progressive wing whenever they do something in the right direction doesn’t sound like a real good element of that strategy.
I am sure, also, that I will also be able to find some inaccurate criticism here of the Democrats for something they actually didn’t do, but I stopped reading and started skimming long before reaching that point.
You’re a better man than I, mozzga din.
I’m not giving it any benefit - this is straight up garbage. “Screw the Democrats for being the singular party able to give us everything we want”. WTF indeed.
