Hell yeah. Nitpick away. Push for actual left politicians. Go canvas for a candidate who better meets your ideals. Don't forget to vote in primaries and local elections.

Also don't forget that we need to actually make it to having elections for the next 4 years to even start trying to turn this ship around.

That's what pisses me off about these tribalists coming out to parrot the post-defeat "it wasn't our fault for not trying to be appealing, it was the fault of the plebes for not supporting us" DNC propaganda.

"Always blame the peasants, never the kings!"

It's hilariously subservient and the avoidance of change inside the Democrat Party that this "let's not criticize our leaders" aims to achive pretty much guarantees a similar result next time the Democrats face a Republican populist - Fascism - and that part is the very opposite of hilarious.

It's also seriously hypocrite to cloak yourself in a "we want to protect trans people" cloak whilst fighting against the criticism of the Democrat Party that can change the very leaders whose choices and strategies resulted in the current situation where trans people are getting harmed: if they genuinelly wanted to protect trans people from harm, they would not spend their time trying divert criticism away from their holy cows.

Nitpicking ain't the same as doing the work to get a more progressive candidate through primaries of a major party & onto the ballot.

And you have shit libs still clabbering about how the 2024 General ended up.

Can we not pivot and look to the future? Are Democrats secretly wanting to Make Democrats Great Again, like they once were?

Ffs

And our nitpicking and low approval of the Democrats is now a key talking point for Republicans. I may be ignorant but I'm not seeing changes in leadership which is why the approval rating is low. We want something locked and loaded and with sure footing by the midterms so that, at minimum, messaging is on point. But so far they haven't done anything to appeal to people and actually create a platform that energizes people. They need a leftist issue that makes people as irrationally angry as trans girls in high school sports does for MAGAts.

Two different things, "nitpicking" and then, you know, voting (for Dems).

What does that have to do with what I'm saying?

Where did I say "Don't criticize the Dems!"

I'm saying "Next election that comes about, maybe don't fucking purity politics us into literal Nazi death camps like you did this time, you twats"

also time to nitpick fundamentalist beliefs and deradicalize before the inevitable bullshit wedge issue campaigns in the run up to the next elections
