I literally do blame the Democrats for Trump, and if you don’t, you weren’t paying attention.
Plenty of us were critiquing Clinton’s campaign on those merits and were consistently talked down to in shocker the same way we’re being talked down to now. Shocker, she lost. I remember saying a few weeks before the election “We’re about to get Brexited.” I put my vote down for Clinton, because Trump is fucking insane, and that was clear before he was President. It was clear in the fucking 1980’s.
Being able to critique our leaders is supposed to be what is the difference between us and conservative voters. They’re the cult who unquestioningly believes all the bullshit that comes out of Trump’s mouth and diapers. I find it weird that people think we should be more like them in regards to our leaders like that would be a good thing.
Knowing how MeFi works, I have a hard time believing you read all the political threads post-2000, post-2008 and post-2016 already. They’re not neatly threaded like here, and many of them are hundreds of comments long, but sure, you “don’t see any.”
What you’re more likely to see is a message from a MeFi admin “a couple comments removed” while usually leaving the stuff that impugns progressives in the thread, removing any pushback or discussion of pushback.
I’m literally on Lemmy right now, one of the most leftist sites on the internet, and I’m still dealing with this bullshit right now.
So I don’t know where else you want me to go where I’m not overrun with it?
I’m starting to think the problem may just be you.
