I'ts possible to acknowledge that Democrats Suck while simultaneously acknowledging that electing one was the only chance to avoid a Trump presidency.

You know, you say that, but in my experience, virtually none of the people advocate for voting blue were actually willing to fully acknowledge how evil the Democrats are. Almost all of them inevitably fall into apologia and denialism.

During a campaign isn't really the right time to criticise your only opportunity to avoid what we have now.

And that's another thing; all the "vote blue" people always ends up shifting from "you should vote for the lesser evil" to "how dare you criticise the party!" when even slightly pressed.

Evil was sitting in the white house last year, too.

Good thinking, lets run a mediocre out of touch genocidal centrist for the dems again, and why dont we just skip the primary, right? This time lets get even more republicans onstage to cheer them on. Liz Cheney was not enough to get the republicans to vote for us, and we wont make that mistake again.

I think we have a plan now everybody. We'll need to run it past Pelosi and Schumer and we should be good to go.
