The Democrat elitism and smugness you're exhibiting just makes people clutch harder to the right.

---

D. Criticism can lead to change for the better.

---

Hard Deny. That's a moronic argument that otherwise says "I don't want to drive to be the best, just not the worst."

Like a kid defending a D- because it isn't a failing grade.

---

D. But criticisms are themselves subject to criticism and if your criticism is "SAME THING BOTH SIDES" you deserve to be ridiculed.

---

the democratic party is full of angels who only want to build an enlightened future free of strife, economic woe and conflict for their fellow humans whereas the republican party is a party of evil manipulators who want to destroy all that is good and righteous in our world by sacrificing minority infants in exchange for the infinity stones

TC is probably being sarcastic but #PoesLaw

also everyone is rightfully saying Deny but in practice that's not really what happens. See the front page of the Politics subreddit and the top comments on reddit political posts. Or do the same for the subreddit The Donald

If you are criticizing Democrats in a topic about a Republican, you are probably deflecting.

I admit I don't like criticizing Democrats but you should if they deserve it. We should focus criticism on Republicans though because of their racist policies like concentration camps.

---

Ofc. That is why Hilary won.

D, easily.

D, criticism is healthy, dont just shut up and accept whats given to you, criticize it for improvement.

Democrats get away with a lot of vile shit because people are too focused on the bad Republicans like the entire two party system isnt a mess

Why did you put quotes? Republicans are pro concentration camps.

Deny, and youre a fucking loser with zero principles if you cant give anyone rightful criticism simply because they share your preferred alphabet letter next to their party affiliation.

TELL EM

Just because Republicans are human garbage incarnate, doesn't mean can't call out another group with massive issues.

---

It's a common republican deflection and projection. It's like arguing with a broken record, pretty pathetic.

D, democrats are definitely worthy of criticism. Remember what the DNC did to Bernie in 2016, and you have a lot of archaic old democrats who are assholes but who still get the DNC vote despite younger generations gravitating towards more progressive candidates. The only way a Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden can have their way nowadays is by trying to ignore the voice of the 18 - 30 demographic, which continues to grow - but by God, do they try to ignore those voices.

Saying that, if you're criticising democrats in the same breath as republicans, I think there's a lot more to criticise with the republicans. Not a fan of "hurr durr both sides" when the left at least has a smattering of unique figureheads while the right slides into authoritarianism, and when just about every democrat gaffe can be matched by some Mississippi senator changing the voting zones in their jurisdiction to try and make it harder for black and disabled voters. Democrats aren't above criticism, but very few of them reach the level of "absolute scum" that the bottom of the Republican barrel is caked with.

democrats are basically philosopher kings and republicans are essentially ignoramus despots
