    Everyone with a D by their name is in the same group. That is what a two party system means. There are no moderate or progressive Democrats. There are just Democrats. Sowing division amongst Democrats only helps Republicans.

        When you look at the ballot to vote, It just says Democrat. In other countries there are more options, but here it is just D and R.

      Having standards is sowing division!

      Manchin and FDR are exactly equals!

      If there’s a D by the name we must support everything they do!

        Get the Republicans out of power. Then you can criticize the Democrats all you want. That is all that matters. They are an existential threat.

          Don’t criticize Joe during the primary!

          Don’t criticize Joe during the general!

          Dont criticize Joe his first two years, he’s still getting things going!

          Don’t criticize Joe year three, an election is coming!

          Looks like that’s it for now, but I have a pretty good idea what comes next

          Either we repeat those steps again, or you’re actually right and Republicans are in power, then we still can’t criticize him.

          When exactly are we allowed to disagree with our politicians again? I knew Republicans stopped long ago. But I honestly missed the memo democrats are doing it now too.

          Think I’ll pass tho, it looked to work out pretty bad for Republicans

            This thread is getting really cultish huh? If you just change a few terms around its uncanny… I bet there’s like a right-wing thread out there, a bizarro version of this one.

            A Republican poster writes, saying they are gonna vote third party, cuz ‘fuck dems’ and also ‘fuck the increasing fascism in the R party’

            (It’s probably out there, right? Bear with me).

            In that possible/probable posting i wonder if we’d see responses like these?

            Get the Democrats out of power. Then you can criticize the Republicans all you want. That is all that matters. They are an existential threat.

            I feel like I’ve even read that on FOX news.

            Everyone with a R by their name is in the same group. That is what a two party system means. There are no moderate or far-right Republicans. There are just Republicans. Sowing division amongst Republicans only helps Democrats.

            Not as bad as the first one, but still shuts down thought.

            I got long winded and i also don’t know how to end it so hey, i appreciate you.
