Something that I realized about the fediverse is that you seem to be able to criticize the USA as a whole, but if you criticize the Democrats you get downvoted. Democrats suck they are not sacred cows (lemmy.ml)

The Democratic Party as a whole is like milk in your fridge that's a week past its "best by" date.

The Republican Party is milk that a dog vomited on a Texas in July sidewalk.

We're drinking one of them, because no alternative is possible in the near term.

It's possible to vote for Democrats in 2026 and '28 and '30 and '32 while we build an alternative that can have electoral success, or takeover the Democratic Party from within or heck turn the Republican Party into a party worth supporting...

If all the milk in my fridge is spoiled, I throw it out. Maybe try that?

Aye, we need a new system.

Great. Now you're dying of thirst and the only milk left is the dog throw up vomit.

You can't game the system by just saying you would do it better. That's not how it works.

80 million Dem voters (depicted as "crowd of NPCs" meme): "We are voting for Democrats in the near term because there is no other option"
