I do believe the requirement is that you just need to be specific. Republicans generally suck all around right now so that's a valid statement.

However, if you're going to complain about Democrats you need to say something like, "the leadership sucks" or, "there's too many rich people influencing the party!"

That's been my experience so far ๐Ÿคท

well said. you can pretty much extrapolate this line of thought to every soc-dem, left-of-center, liberal party in the world. they make a wiener water government, blame people when they lose elections and are left wondering why people didn't called their wiener water government a bouillabasse or an onion soup.

The blue MAGA types are moooostly on .world, but they have the most users, so... .ml are mostly CCP with the same degree of dedication, and blahaj is that but with Likud. I just block .world and blahaj because they are right wingers beyond saving.

Yeah Democrats sucks, but to in any way imply that Republicans are the solution is just bootlicking at this point. One is a political party and one is dismantling the country for profit.

A democratic that is average at democracy is better than a conservative who is great at authoritarianism.

Genocide deniers suck, including the uyghur and tibetan genocide deniers, including the american native and middle eastern genocide deniers... They all suck...

If you REALLY want to receive some righteous hate, criticize the people who boycotted voting because none of the choices measured up to their standards. People will defend the moral correctness of refusing to vote more than they'll defend their right to vote.

What I constantly hear is deflections about how voting doesn't matter, but it fucking does, yes the Democrats suck but they are better, it's not even close.

Fight back and do everything you can to change what's going on and blame Democrats but don't sell out an entire election cycle to literal Satan to make that point

all that does is irreversible damage

Vote Green when you can, and push on your representatives in between elections.

if a third party was possible under current electoral governance the green party would absolutely not be better
