Really? Then why are Republicans able to win elections despite all the criticism against them, or does it conveniently only work in the one direction that supports your argument? This is such a ridiculous take.
The dems criticizing republicans aren’t their voter base. The republican voter base doesn’t criticize republicans.
Why does that need to be explained to you?
So you think we need to be more like the Republicans and fall in line to reject any and all criticism of our leaders, and that's the path to fighting fascism? Buddy, that is fascism.
These warped ideals are exactly why the Democratic party is in the position that it's in. Criticism isn't the issue, it's the shitty politicians pushing Republican ideals through the lens of liberalism and giving people reason to criticize. Sweeping that under the rug just to win an election isn't solving anything. It just leads to more Trump-like candidates holding office while people continue to suffer.
There was enough criticism of democrats to get Trump and his cronies into office twice and now there may be no more elections.
There are no criticisms that are worth getting Trump elected.
Every little nitpick is just anther talking point to be amplified by foreign bots and GOP propaganda.
