      Flattening every conversation about U.S. politics to “you idiot, the U.S. does horrible things to other countries!” is stupid. No one here is arguing with you on that. We have a hundred posts about U.S. crimes abroad, we can talk about what goes on inside the U.S., too.

        This was a part on the domestic policy I wrote earlier “ They increased police funding which absolutely is contributing to attacks against African American populations as well as the Democrats ignored and downplay(ed) Covid-19 which has killed so many Americans. The Democrats didn’t mandate vaccines when they had control. They haven’t done anything to control the mass deaths during Covid. They let it run rampant and kill the poor people who couldn’t afford good medical care and the elderly who were at increased risk. The Dems are letting immigrants be killed with barbed wire on the southern boarder. They let many people get sick because of the train crash in East Palestine. They’ve actively worked against union power. They still operate concentration camps for migrants. ”

            Yes, you kinda did. You argued that that they were doing something for the working class which to me does kinda sound like that

              “Democrats have done a few good things” is not remotely the same as “Democrats are good,” especially when I go out of my way a bunch of times to say Democrats are not good.

              You know what critical support is? You know what the CPC line on Stalin is (70% good, 30% bad)? Then you know “they’ve done some things good” is not a blanket endorsement, even if a person has done a whole hell of a lot more good than Democrats ever have.
