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)

Why can't we be critical of democrats by being selective in the primaries?

Because half the time they don’t have primaries and the other half they call anyone making good arguments “unelectable radicals”

Don't just "call them", they actively sabotage them in a way they never do with a reactionary. Labor did it to Corbyn as well, this is deeply ingrained in bourgeois "democracies", if you can vote for somebody who will try to bring change, they've already fucked up a bunch of times.

This is funny to me, because in many red states there aren't even Democrat candidates to oppose Republicans.

There were four republicans running unopposed on my ballot in 2024.
