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...

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 🤷
