[–] Corn@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 child) They lost to Donald fucking Trump, twice. Do you think Trump is a uniquely gifted politician? You have to have exceptional distain for your constituents if you can't get them to come out when the alternative is the republicans. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 1 year ago* (1 child) I'm not a fan of the Democratic party, I just hate the obvious bullshit double standard that's everywhere. The left just can't not shoot itself in the foot. Always snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Care more about bullshit purity tests than stopping the literal fascists from destroying our republic. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Corn@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago Our standards coincide with what a candidate needs to do to win. By pretending otherwise, you allow the DNC to maintain the delusion the can win without doing what their constituents want. This is basic politics. How thrilled would you be if the republican politicians behaved like the DNC and told their base "haha eat shit, what are you gonna do, vote Democrat?" permalink fedilink source parent
