I legitimately haven't seen anyone defend democrats. They're like the IRS: necessary, but no one likes them.
What I have seen is "democrats suck!" as a general deflection anytime someone mentions how bad this current administration is, how it could have been prevented, or what we need to do in the future...
I have seen plenty and Democrats are not like the IRS. They are not necessary at all. They are just one right wing party that should disappear and be taken by an actual left wing party. The fact that you think that they are necessary shows how deep the ingraining of the necessity of a bipartisan oligopoly has run in the populous.
Let me guess, a left wing party that sucks it up to putin?
What's your take on putins brutal invasion of Ukraine for example?
I'm a socialist. Fuck Putin, free Ukraine.
It's that easy.
Thank you! Yes, IMO it is that easy
Now SausageCat avoided the question ...
Yes, deflecting is THAT easy! Now you can turn any criticism into your own minute of hate and avoid engaging in self criticism.
Hey, it's worked out so well for your country!
Be easier to just post the entire bag of thought terminating cliches you have instead of doing it one by one so everyone can save some time.
We can even pretend we haven't seen all the same ones with the same wording from every other milquetoast lib.
