      Yes, really. That’s how they lost to the most unqualified, dishonest, and mentally unhinged presidential candidate in modern history. Twice.

        Sure, that’s what it is, because people said we should vote for Biden instead of hold him to a high standard while ignoring Trump acting like neo-Hitler.

          Again with the false dichotomy: it is in fact possible to vote for someone without holding them blameless no matter what they do or don’t do.

          You’re not just allowed but REQUIRED to hold the ones meant to represent you to a high standard if you want anything to improve.

          “Anything better than Trump is good enough” is not how you end up with people accurately representing the will of the people or even PRETENDING to.

            LMAO and yet you started this thread ranting about how if someone ever pushed back on you, it means they are fully intolerant of ANY criticism of ANY Democrat, ever.

              Nope, sure didn’t. That’s just you projecting.

              I can explain it for you, and I have, but I can’t understand it for you. Have the day you deserve.

                All anyone has to do is scroll up to be reminded. You claimed your “enemy” is entirely incapable of nuance and in the way you did so, proved you aren’t.

                Thanks for the weird threat to my day tho?

                  I was employing obvious hyperbole to make a point. That you chose to take it literally in spite of that in order to build yet another strawman is on you.

                  Thanks for the weird threat to my day tho?

                  Wishes aren’t threats. If I was powerful enough to wish things into existence, Trump would never have become president and we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

                  Now go bother someone else with your bad faith nonsense.
