There are 212 Democrats in the House and you're blaming all of them for the actions of 4 of them.

You are literally no different than the conservatives who blame all black people for crime based on some small percentage of the group who commits a crime. Same argument.

Racism is not remotely the same thing as legitimate criticism of a political party not whipping its members.

This is literally an expectation in nearly every liberal democracy.

Yes. Because the other 208 spent the last few decades setting a norm in which 4 of them thought that it would be a perfectly ok thing to do without being ejected from the party. Any of the 208 who don't take action now are complicit in their silence.

Your analogy is specious because black individuals don't automatically bear the responsibility to distance themselves from other black individuals who commit crimes, but becoming an elected representative of a party does VERY much come with the responsibility to make sure your party doesn't get infiltrated by corrupt politicians on the payroll of foreign powers.

It's a memes page, you're not supposed to think about it being political propaganda, you're supposed to laugh and be propagandized without realizing it.

Hakim Jeffries refused to say in an interview DSA has a place in the Democratic party, and then had a picnic with Jared Kushner. That's the Democratic leadership colluding with the faction that literally seeks to unmake democracy in the US.

So yeah, I think there's legitimate cause for DSA to be a bit cross.

Literally the same argument the Klan makes.

Congrats, dude. You're with them.

Speaking of culty, fascist thinking.

Oh I read quite a lot. Maybe you should give it a go.

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

honestly mate at this point I think user BillCheddar is either trolling or frothing, either way it's time to block and move on

Eh. If what I have to say informs or allows me to link to something edifying, then I do it. I write for the readers of the thread as much as for the conversants.
