Their election position basically ‘vote for us or else the orphan crushing party will be in charge’. Not very inspirational and rather threatening if you ask me.

It's just a fact. They're not the ones putting the orphan crushing party in charge.

But they are in charge of the opposition they provide. They have chosen to merely be ‘not the orphans crushing party’ rather than something better.

I am pretty interested to see that me and @lolcatnip@reddthat.com explaining this tactic, did not do anything at all to deter multiple people from blandly employing the exact same tactic in replies.

This comment is also pretty fascinating, there's a slight but noticeable China through-line to this user's comments to go with the Biden/Democrats through-line.
