I love that Lemmy would rather blame Democrats than Republicans for what's going on. I'm sure the Republicans love that, too.
I absolutely blame the Republicans more than Democrats, but there's no point in arguing with fascists. There's good honest people in this thread who are just wrong.
— Jean-Paul Sartre
So what, you think the Democrats in Congress are on Lemmy and will see your post so you can argue with them?
No. When you say Democrats, do you just mean congress people and not registered Democrats in general?
I specifically said Democrats in Congress in my previous comment
Right? It's like when people get angry at the police for not trying to stop crime, they should be directing their anger at the criminals.
Yeah, I get it, the police not doing their jobs is bad too, I just feel like I see more people expressing anger at Democrats' ineptitude, and reporting on "the administration" rather than seeing specific anger directed specifically about Republicans. I'll sometimes see that directed at Republicans in comments, but I feel I see more memes and posts about how Democrats suck, how trump and his cronies suck, but not a lot about how Republicans suck.
Luke with your metaphor, it's like there's a slasher killing people in the street and more people are mad at police not doing anything effective than saying the killer is bad.
If we've got to stop the killer ourselves, then what difference does the cop make?
I'm not saying not to complain about Democrats, I'm just saying I don't see people ragging on Republicans as much as they are ragging on Democrats. And some of the same people saying that we need a united front and not to divide the opposition.
