    It’s wild to me how someone can say “I voted against fascism” and still be accused of “letting Republicans keep power”

      That’s exactly what they want, if you don’t vote for their approved candidate, you’re against everything they stand for.

        No, what they want is for everyone to stop shitting on their candidate. It doesn’t matter (to them) who the candidate is or if you vote for them - if you’re drawing attention to how shitty they are then you’re just as culpable for their loss as the opposition.

        The emperor has no clothes.

          This is exactly it. They view the person pointing out the problem as the problem. Not accepting that if we can see the problem it doesnt matter how much you scream at people to ignore it.

      TBF you can vote green and say you voted against Trump but that still means you let Republicans keep power, for example. You never said who you voted for.

      It also doesn’t really matter if you claim to vote against it via secret ballot and then you turn around and accuse the DNC of being an arm of the newage nazi party.

          Your words have an impact. You’re telling people not to vote for them, telling them voting doesn’t matter, and then pretending you’re not causing actual harm by following up with “actually I voted for a different undisclosed thing so I’m not part of the problem.”

            So do yours. If you want to admonish people for expressing their discontent with democratic representatives, then good luck I guess. Hope you’re getting paid for that sisyphean task, because it sure as fuck seems like a hopeless one.

              So you think I shouldn’t be able to admonish people for degrading and dragging through the mud the only opposition to the nazis, but simultaneously that you can admonish me?

              That’s about what I expect from you Republican Bootlickers.

                So you think I shouldn’t be able

                No, you certainly are able. I just think it’s exceedingly stupid, even from an electoral perspective. People can very well see that there are huge problems with the democratic platform, whether or not they are nervous they’ll be accused of favoring the fascist party for acknowledging them.

                Democrats would very much like to pretend as if the fascists are an isolated problem, because otherwise they’d be forced to entertain the possibility that their majority coalition has collapsed because there is something seriously wrong with their platform and not - as some are suggesting - because people are mad at them for no discernible reason whatsoever.

                  If it walks like a duck.

                  The only people who benefit from labeling the DNC as evil nazis are the only other party in the USA, or other enemies outside of the USA.
