There’s a time and a place for criticism, a close race between bad and worse is not that time,
The only reason why the two overlapped at all was because the ones aiding and abetting genocide have been refusing to even acknowledge any wrongdoing for over a year!
A blindingly obvious example of this “not listening to their base” problem I mentioned.
online leftist spaces are not that place
Where else would you suggest?
Far right places like Truth social where everyone will agree for the wrong reasons, wrongly thinking that it’s about making sure that Trump wins?
“Centrist” places where everyone will automatically disagree, wrongly thinking that it’s about making sure that Trump wins?
Just admit that there’s no time and no place where you would actually take constructive criticism from the left seriously and pretending that there is is a pretense for making people sit down and shut up.
Every leftist voter who chooses to abstain contributes to the fascists’ margin.
Again with the classics bootlicker role reversal.
It’s the job of politicians to earn the confidence and thus the votes of the people.
It’s NOT the job of the people to meekly go along with politicians with ethically and morally compromised politicians with bad ideas unquestioningly, even IF they’re still the least bad option.
The politicians failed the people, not the other way around.
The difference is that you don’t control the DNC’s strategy, you do control your actions.
The irony of telling the that I’m only allowed to voice dissent at specific times and places where it would be ignored and then saying I’m in control 🤦
Newsflash: the people is SUPPOSED to control the DNC’s strategy! They’re public servants paid through public means to enact the will of the people FFS! That’s literally what they’re there for!
What’s supposed to happen and what happens are two extremely different things. Only fools make plans based on what’s supposed to happen. The rest of us plan our actions based on the flawed reality we live in.
You’re “allowed” to do whatever you want. I’m just telling you it’s counterproductive. You are allowed to be counterproductive, it’s just a stupid thing to do.
You are allowed to be counterproductive, it’s just a stupid thing to do.
Such as insisting on doing a bunch of reprehensible things that your base hates while you’re running for public office?
It’s amazing how you keep holding the meaningful actions of the most powerful people in the most powerful country in the world to a much lower standard of responsibility than me, a regular poor person, expressing a reasonable opinion.
Do you REALLY not see how ass-backwards that is??
You are allowed to be counterproductive, it’s just a stupid thing to do.

Yes, exactly! That is a counterproductive action. And I levy my criticisms regarding that action to the actors themselves, in my direct communication to them.
Two things can be true: it is in the best interest of the DNC to more effectively court their base, and it is in the best interest of leftists for the lesser evil of the duopoly to win until we can break the duopoly.
That’s why my correspondence with my representatives is focused entirely on their failings, and my correspondence with other voters is focused entirely on their virtues.
It’s amazing how you keep holding the meaningful actions of the most powerful people in the most powerful country in the world to a much lower standard of responsibility than me, a regular poor person, expressing a reasonable opinion.
I hold them responsible for their actions, and I hold you responsible for yours. It’s not that my standard for them is lower, my standard for them is irrelevant to the actions of others.
