    But like he did help them though.

    But like maybe you should have read the article you posted. Then again, since you think that “we totally want to” is a policy, “we’re taking credit” is the same as an accomplishment.

    I’m not interested in being currency in your game of moral purity with the Democrats.

    You’re just interested in anyone who is even remotely dissatisfied with Democrats shutting up or being shut up, regardless of what Democrats do.

    You got your victory over the Democrats at the expense of minorities, but you want 2026 and 2028 too.

    Dude, I fucking tried to warn about what was going to happen and I wasn’t the only one. At least here on lemmy, it meant being called a trumper and a Russian every last time. But yeah, the party moved to the right and alienated the base and exactly what I was called a Russian for saying happened. Democrats stayed home. Your faith in the willingness of the Democratic Party to change for the better is misplaced. If they continue on their current course, they will lose 2026 and 2028. And despite your constant pollyanna insistence that if we just care bear stare at them they’ll change, I have no remaining faith in the party. Not after this election.

    Biden supported genocide.

    As did Harris, vague meaningless non-policy promises notwithstanding.

    Members of his own administration pushed back against him in open letters.

    Ooh. Were they strongly worded?

    It holds no material implications with you whatsoever or you would be railing against Trump’s promise of indefinite genocide.

    This thread is about Democrats. Of course Trump is worse. That doesn’t excuse selling weapons for an ongoing genocide.

    As someone closer to the chopping block than I would like, I am no longer phased by that bullshit. I’ve got the right screaming at me that they want me dead, and I’ve got people like you on the left screaming at me to be silent as they drag me the rest of the way there.

    I’m telling you not to be a damned fool. The party will sell you out. It’s what they do. It’s a pattern of behavior that you’ve been making excuses for.

    Your vote is appreciated. Your rhetoric is not.

    Who is screaming at whom to be silent?

    The Democrats are the tool we have at our disposal. I intended to use that tool for as much as it can be used for. Help me.

    They’re using you. Not the other way around.
