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)

I legitimately haven't seen anyone defend democrats. They're like the IRS: necessary, but no one likes them.

What I have seen is "democrats suck!" as a general deflection anytime someone mentions how bad this current administration is, how it could have been prevented, or what we need to do in the future...

Democrats are only necessary if your goal is to maintain the illusion that America is a democracy which serves the people while maintaining the status quo.

Democrats are a net negative. What is necessary is something we don't have and haven't had, a true leftist party. The lack of that necessary party is what has led us to this current situation.

The Republicans being bad doesn't make the Democrats good. Especially when they are complicit.

See, this is people defending the Dems lmao. Not a single falsehood, but it's downvoted all the same.
