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'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.
