I'm sure repeatedly telling people they need to shut up and never criticize The Party will really reduce apathy.
Criticize all you want. Just recognize there is a difference between a less than ideal party and literal Nazis
Genocide apologist
I hate it but it's happening no matter who is in power. Best we can do is a party who isn't going to throw immigrants in concentration camps.
If you think that committing a modern holocaust is "less than ideal" you belong in a concentration camp.
Voters: "Please stop bombing children", "Please stop backing a genocide", "Please stop handing out our taxes to your rich friends", "Please stop making healthcare the number one reason for bankruptcy", "Please stop sending people to torture prisons", "Please make minimum wage a livable wage"
I think you might have a warped view of what "less than ideal" means
I hate it but, until March or April (depending on the poll) a majority of the country still supported Israel.

Democrats regularly raise taxes on the rich and Republicans regularly raise them. Democrats regularly push for prison reform and things like cashless bail. Republicans regularly push for harsher sentencing and reductions in per-prisoner spending. Compare a map of state minimum wages to their political alignment.
If you want Democrats to act on these things more, we have to get obstructionist Republicans out of office.
