Imagine having no knowledge of more than a lifetime of legislation and still being so sure you know the DNC's true colors.
EDIT: You know what? I'll make it easier for you

2022 Midterm Election Note: Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and other House Republicans have openly declared that THEIR legislative priorities include none of the above. Instead they will say they will focus on: a) Impeaching President Biden, b) Impeaching Merrick Garland, c) Investigating Hunter Biden and d) Making all abortions illegal throughout the United States.
The Republican and Democratic Parties are NOT the same. There is an almost total difference in policy.
For the record, I am against fascism. I voted against it.
There. I will now await full credit for fighting fascism. After all, I've now done as much as the Democrats have.
Edit: actually, I think I've voted against fascism more than Schumer has in the last year, so I guess I should get more credit.
Volunteer for the DNC, contact your reps (and Schumer) and ask them to shut down the government next budget reconciliation. Then maybe I won't assume you're acting on behalf of Trump, Russia, or China spreading Anti-DNC propaganda.
If you want better from the Democrats, you're anti-American!
If your method of wanting better from the Democrats is letting the Republicans keep power until everything is your ideal, you're assumed to be an anti-American operative.
FTFY
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.
'It doesnt matter how you vote if you end up speaking ill of my party'
Ok bud.
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.
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.
How is anything they said Republican?
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.
lmao My vote doesn't matter at all where I live. Do you expect me to storm DC and take them out? Grow up.
Normal people have absolutely zero power over this gross fascist system.
America has been anti-me since I was a child, so
Yea that's fair. We aren't very kind to Russian and Chinese agents until maybe recently when you bought a few of our politicians.
So you're literally a Republican?
By claiming the DNC are an extension of the fascist party you are asking for better fascism?
Nice mental gymnastics there bud, gold medal.
Holy shit you're fucking stupid.
That's banjo. 3rd grade reading levels but pretends to be around college level.
I dont block them just so that they dont get to say their stupidity without some reasonable response, and give them the downvotes they deserve but thats finitebanjo for you.
Near infinite free time from their post history and none of it spent on expanding or growing as a person.
