I legitimately haven't seen anyone defend democrats. They're like the IRS: necessary, but no one likes them.

What I have seen is "democrats suck!" as a general deflection anytime someone mentions how bad this current administration is, how it could have been prevented, or what we need to do in the future...

What I hear is a lot of complaints and very few ideas of what to do about it. The Democrats can be forced to suck less.

This thread kind of disproved itself

this is ragebait. democrats constantly criticize their reps, to a fault. obv spending time criticizing dems more than repubs rn is tone deaf and actively harmful. if theres some point to be made like 'jeffries is a sold out dark money lobbyist' plenty would agree; but if someone says 'democrats suck' as a blanket statement rn, im gonna assume theyre a russian bot and block+ban✌️

You get two options with a history of nepotism and complacency. Independent parties stand no chance due to the funding.

Yes, democrats suck, but it's still better than voting for soulless fascists.

The problem with American democracy is the voting system. A party that isn't either thre democrats or the republicans will never win because people know if they vote for anything else there vote will be pointless.

America needs preferential voting but will never implement it because it would mean the two party system will be demolished (which is in neither of the two party's best interest.)

Naw, It totally depends on how you downvote Democrats.

The majority of the anti-magats know the Democrats suck. We also know that the magats suck worse, and then the green and libertarians worse yet.

If you give any form of indication that you think the Democrats are worse than the magats, That's a downvote.

Most of the existing Democrats aren't particularly cozy with the Democratic leadership, or honestly even with the full scope of their intent, But the f if we're going to not download you for promoting something worse.
