The Democratic Party is most assuredly not without criticism, but my god, the amount of asinine criticism over the past two months has been insane.

It's essentially "How could Dems do this?" whenever Trump does something bad or getting upset when members of Congress are perceived as not doing anything. When going down rabbitholes of tiktok/twitter/reddit, you find the people really just expect some Luigi style violence as the absolute floor of what Dems should be doing (but not willing to engage in the violence themselves).

This is being spurred on the big media voices that Dems usually turn to (Jon Stewart/Colbert/et al) who will spend 75% of a segment jokingly making fun of Trump/Republicans, but then turning the final 25% into angry yelling at Dem leaders.

It's even more hilarious when many doing the criticism are white, upper middle or upper class individuals who speak from a position of immense privilege with their criticism, knowing they won't be hurt by the next four years.

White upper middle class are exactly the group that invented imagined grievances like non-binary to ensure upper middle class future Karens were still the center of attention ahead of poor minorities.

The current political winds are away from post Marxism and talk of privilege and power. If you want to win you need a new foundational myth.

the simpler question is asking when they will finally accept they are too far left to win anything. where does the poll have to come from before they will accept the results?

A credibility watch thread for a credibility watch thread. That might be a first, but I appreciate it!
