It feels like there's been a real uptick in these people recently. Just had to mute and block a bunch in the last two days.
Sure, criticize Dems, but if it's not quickly followed by a much more robust beatdown of the Republicans, fuck that.
Bothsidesism is a genuine illness.

Congratulations and good luck with that.
I'm waiting for @governor.ny.gov to follow suit.

Literally NOBODY's arguing that Democrats are perfect, flawless or pure. But they are, to repeat the analogy from earlier, the fire brigade that we have right now.
And the more time we spend circle-jerking attacks on Dems, the more cover Republicans get as they lead the country to authoritarianism.

I've muted the account you've replied to for the very reason you've described.
If you're spending most of your time shitting on Democrats, you've gone beyond good faith critiques and you're just actively trying to weaken the party and give people reason to vote GOP.
I won't participate in that.

People like you who are only capable of seeing the Democrats as failures while ignoring their critical achievements are actively sowing despair and a sense of hopelessness, which ultimately helps Republicans.
I won't join you in that. And I feel no need to engage further with you while you do so๐

I was an Independent in between these periods, but realized I could no longer sit on the sidelines. I took Winston Churchill's famous quote very much to heart:
"I decline utterly to be impartial as between the fire brigade and the fire"

I have have my own complaints about Democrats, too, and I don't fault people for being critical.
But having been both a Republican and a Democrat I can assure you that the GOP is much, MUCH more dangerous to the countryโand to my life & healthโand that's why they get 90% of my focus & ridicule. 2/3

My beef is not with people who vote Democratic in the general. It's with people who bitch and moan about the party, try to equate them with the GOP, and ultimately sit out the election, which gives Republicans a pass to continue on their path and do much worse. 2016 and 2024 demonstrated this. 1/3

I think itโs far more harmful to pretend both sides are equally to blame then have a tantrum, sit on your hands, and not vote for the Democrat.

it's that your tone, your insults, and your trollish devotion to Crockett showed me that no further conversation was warranted.

Dueling polls. New ads. Uncertain momentum. Our panel breaks down the CrockettโTalarico primary battle.
Also as one of these analysts notes, Crockett brings a lot of enthusiasm but also suffers for negative partisanship, in that she's likely to bring out a lot of people to vote against her.
The sad reality is that a Black woman in 2026 Texas has a higher bar to scale

She's a vocal progressive, sure, but their differences in policy are extremely slim, so you have to ask, who would be the most electable in a state where a Democrat hasn't won statewide in decades.
I think it's the guy who's repeatedly won in a very red district, while she's in a +25 D seat.

Or tried glib, lazy excuses for not voting by claiming "both sides" are corrupt/lawless/indifferent/incompetent.
Those people are every bit as bad as the chumps in red caps.

One critic on X said Fetterman's claim was "so absurd."
.@fetterman.senate.gov claims not to be MAGA, but lying about Trump's record is about the most MAGA thing one can do.

Talarico is the only American politician who quotes from the Bible and it doesn't make this atheist feel nauseous.
He does so stressing humanist principles in a way that doesn't feel exploitative.
My main concern about Beshear isn't that he's religious, it's that he's incredibly boring.

The polling lead between Crockett and Talarico has shifted back and forth throughout the campaign, showing a very close race.
And let's not kid ourselves: the attack ads have gone both ways.
What I do know is that Talarico has proven he can win in a solidly Republican district while hers is D+25
