I feel like their point was that if being told that democrats wont save us sends you into a doomerism spiral of misery and despair, that's maybe something you should work on yourself. And a more sober reading of our current situation is not that one should lose all hope, but that they should find it outside the democratic party.
I don't find any less validity in saying "That's a bad idea" vs "This thing should happen" if both have no offered substance.
