Consider where the fuck we're at. Lemmy is filled with leftists, many of whom were utterly uninterested in a 'united front' against fascism.
Out in the real world, my critiques are leveled against low-information 'swing voter' cunts who were fine with fascism as long as they don't have to think about it too much.
Dem leadership sucks rocks. The DNC is a constant target for vitriol and deserves the vast majority of it. But elections are ultimately decided by voters in this country, and we have to fucking square with that.
Hey, I got great news for you Pug; Political Memes is actually full of a lot of centrist Democrats, so this would be a great place to break out those critiques of the Democrats you keep talking about.
Political Memes has a large population of people who were willing to vote for Harris to stop fascism, which many, like you, assumed to mean 'centrist Democrat' instead of 'against fascism' - you know, against fascism, unlike the kind of people who stood by and couldn't even be bothered to cast a vote, the easiest political act imaginable, to stop it. If you actually read anything that was said here, you'd find no shortage of criticism of the Dems - but that's inconvenient, so instead you lot would cry "BLUE MAGA" whenever a "BOTH SIDES ARE THE SAME AKTUALLY" post was rightfully pissed on.
