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. ”
Did I say Democrats are good?
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.
Because we don’t provide critical support for 99% bad and 1% good.
You're just doing reddit shit. Not engaging the substance of a comment in favor of dumb little quips and nitpicks.
Doing Reddit shit like defending a genocidal pro-colonial Yankee group?
Doing reddit shit like ignoring the many times I've explained that's not remotely what I'm doing.
I wonder what the rhetorical device for "I'm not touching you is called", because you CERTAINLY come juuuuuuuuuuuuust shy of defense just about every time you open your mouth about the party of jackasses, and I'm kind of disgusted by it. Maybe you're the one 'doing reddit shit' trying to cudgel even the slightest iota of respect for Dems out of the people who won't give it; that sure as shit sounds like some ESS, AHS, Tankiejerk-adjacent muleshit.
Oh fuck off. Acknowledging that people/parties/countries do both good and bad things should not be novel to any communist -- look at the CPC's stance on Stalin or Mao.
Applying another country's conditions and viewpoints to an Amerikan context and expecting it to 1:1? How very typical of you. Real shades of Rainer Shea there, my boi.
I'm applying communist thought on a communist forum. You're applying reddit slap fighting and obstinance.
Claiming that’s not what you are doing. It doesn’t means that’s not what you are doing
"Democrats are not good but Americans care about whether they can get an abortion" is in no way defending genocide. This is just obnoxious reddit contrarianism.
