More "dems just as bad" stupidity

There's that tired whataboutism we know and loathe 🙄

Criticizing the Dems ≠ saying that the fascists aren't worse than them. Just like decrying the Israeli genocide of Palestinians ≠ saying that it's worse than the Holocaust was.

And nope, I criticize the Dems (and the fascists and every other politician I'm aware of deserving criticism) EVERY year. It's not my fault that YOU only pay attention during election years.

    Every other year is an election year, ironically I haven't seen anything out of you in 2025 and now that it is an election year, here you are.

    I'm not saying you weren't but its funny that I remember you posting alot in 2024 and your post actually made me think about it.

    Because you haven't been CHECKING in 2025. I've been criticizing them for their cowardly compliance with the fascist regimes of the US and Israel more times in 2025 than I've posted pictures of my two cats The Fabulous Staredycat Sisters and that's SAYING something 😁

    Lol I believe it! its just the first time I noticed was all. I think there just more active users than when I joined Lemmy so your posts were a much larger chunk of visible posts back then.😆

    Based eternal criticism! I'lll take your word for it, as I don't track individual posting habits. I just notice a general uptick in "dems bad", "don't vote", and similar when we get closer to an election.

    I just notice (...) when we get closer to an election.

    That's my point. Claiming without any proof that any criticism is based on it being election season and therefore might be false flag bottery is a classic deflection tactic not unlike many that the fascists use when people on their side criticize the Mango Mussolini.

    Hahaha buddy, pump the breaks, you may want to live up to the username and enjoy some nature. Pointing out meme trends without cyberstalking every poster on the Fediverse first isn't cryptofash tactics.
