    The evil of the right is self-evident.

    But I count it more evil to pretend one is progressive and then do exactly the same things the right-wing people are doing.

        Not at all.

        Democrats, by and large, don’t accept any criticism of their party, preferring instead to make excuses or feign powerlessness on the part of their elected officials. (They share that trait with Republicans, in fact.)

        And then an instance happens where having the same position as the Republicans means you either have to accept genocide or pretend in your head that you’re still morally superior while the president you want us all to vote for sends the weapons over to make it happen.

        It’s like that meme with the red button. Your cognitive dissonance is impressive.

          See? This is where the problem is. Your inability to read for context, instead of fulfilling some need for your ideology to be correct- regardless of reality.

          No one said you can’t or shouldn’t criticize the Democratic Party. This is a right we have and is necessary to exercise. The problem is- people like you seem to think that by criticizing YOU- and your decision to yell at people to not vote… is somehow a declaration to deny your right to criticize. Criticize all you wish- just don’t be foolish enough to think that not doing something (voting) will bring change. It’s a mistake that every generation seemingly always makes when they’re young. Mine included.

          And note what is going on here. YOU seemingly whine that everyone is being mean to you, while you simultaneously accuse others of shit they’re not doing. And all the while- you assume no one notices this.
