Something that I realized about the fediverse is that you seem to be able to criticize the USA as a whole, but if you criticize the Democrats you get downvoted. Democrats suck they are not sacred cows (lemmy.ml)

As in criticizing Democrats on their merits or criticizing Democrats as equally bad as Republicans? Big difference between the two.

Let me try! Democrats who don't support ranked choice voting are selling us out.

For real. Democrats criticizing their own politicians is as old as the modern Democrats. That's part of the problem, everyone marches in lock step on the right and the left argues about every action their politicians take.

Have you never heard of "RINOS"? Republicans attack Republicans they don't agree with just as hard if not harder.

The problem is, the Republican party actually rallies around what their constituents support because they know they need their base, while Democratic party expect their constituents to rally around what their leadership supports because they take their base for granted.

Democrats are not "our politicians"
