People will tell you "if you can't criticize Dems are you in a party or are you in a cult?" You know #BlueMAGA and all that

But mufucka you've been doing this sh*t for six years. Every got damn thing they do it's not enough or you hate it

Think this is as more than "criticism."
You was mad over ice cream.

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8…
Then you were mad over Kente cloths. Which the Congressional Black Caucus asked them to wear.

cnn.com/2020/06/08/pol…
Then you were mad that President Obama had a birthday party.

city-journal.org/barack-obamas-…
Then you were mad Vice President Kamala Harris put hot sauce on her collard greens.

wonkette.com/kamala-harris-…
Then Biden joked "you ain't Black" and you lost your minds.

washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
Then you were pissed off about Juneteenth.

cnn.com/2021/06/19/pol…
Then Manchin said no to $2,000 stimulus checks and you blamed this on Biden. DO SOMETHING you said.

axios.com/2021/01/08/man…
Then Manchin and Sinema said no to filibuster reform and you blamed that on Biden. DO SOMETHING again. What one would say? I don't know but YOU'RE PRESIDENT GET IT DONE!

Ok.

Seems like your anger is misplaced.

usnews.com/news/politics/…
Mind you people have been calling Kamala a "whore" on this bird app for years but no one of you said jacksh*t about that tho.

mediaite.com/tv/fox-news-gu…
Did not say sh*t when people were saying Kamala laughed at refugees, which was obviously a lie.

reuters.com/article/factch…
Then you were mad that Biden wouldn't extend the eviction moratorium because he knew the SCOTUS would strike it down. He asked for legislation. It didn't happen. Cori Bush did her performative campout thing and lo and behold ... Biden was right.

americanbar.org/groups/busines…
Then you decided to spend two years yelling at Biden that he "promised" to cancel all student loans when he absolutely did not.

forbes.com/sites/zackfrie…
Then you decided to yell at him that "he's not listening" when it comes to climate change policy or that "there's no urgency" when that's not been the case.

insideclimatenews.org/news/05052022/…
Then you cracked jokes about "where's Kamala?" like she disappeared when mufucka she's f*cking everywhere. Been everywhere.

Then you laughed at Kamala Harris when she said Trump's Twitter account needed to be suspended.

Then you went on this whole stupid rant about "vote shaming." STOP TRYING TO MAKE ME FEEL BAD ABOUT NOT VOTING IN 2016! Ok.

sfexaminer.com/the_fs/forum/v…
But guess who you blamed for the right-wing Supreme Court Trump appointed overturning Roe? It wasn't your non-voting or third party voting ass. It was everybody but you.

scheerpost.com/2022/05/14/oba…
So I guess my point is this. At some point we have to realize this constant "criticism" of the Democratic Party is not on the level. It's being done in bad faith.
And once we've established that we can stop framing it as some altruistic endeavor. It's not.
And after we've done that we can stop framing opposition to it as #BlueMAGA or #VoteBlueNoMatterWho or #KHive or whatever stupid epithet y'all decided to call us.

We're just noticing the obvious.

The paradigm is not "old vs new politics" between progressives and Democrats. That's not the appropriate dichotomy. It's "effective vs. performative." For all the criticism of incremental progress I don't see any progress from progressives. It's all esoteric praise for "fighting"
Or it's blame-shifting. Or taking all the credit while refusing to take none of the blame. I see that too much from certain progressives. Everything is everybody's fault except theirs. That's something to consider when considering the nature of their criticism.
For example progressives blamed liberals and Obama for the overturning of Roe. They blamed him for not forcing RBG to retire (as if McConnell would've allowed him to fill the seat anyway) and then they cherrypicked a comment from a random press conference

Starting a random music thread because today has been a lot. The infighting against certain progressives and voices on the left along with Republicans trying to subvert our democracy has us burning both ends of the candle. Let's chill with some good tunes

The only thing I hate about AOC is her attempts to sabotage and sandbag the party. All her other extracurricular stuff doesn't bother me. It's the fact she's trying to force Bernie's platform down the throat of a party that doesn't want it. She's just doing it in a subtle way.
And I've lost many followers for that. Many people think she's the best thing that hit politics in a long time. I can't see it. And I can't look past that. I don't care how smart or how savvy she is on social media. She's an interloper.
I say this because she positioned herself as some political consultant to the party and the President. This is not a role she's qualified to be in. She's also pretty resistant to learning from more experienced politicians. And that's a big red flag for me.

Since we're talking about @Jerone4Congress and his pretty hilariously stupid ad about defending himself from "Democrats in Klan hoods" I'll just point out the KKK endorsed Trump for President.

reuters.com/article/us-usa…
The KKK's former leader endorsed him again in 2020 and everybody's favorite white nationalist Tucker Carlson for VP.

independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…
And a 4th generation Klansmen, Republican and Trump supporter just tried to run in Georgia.

The party should always be evolving and it is. It is filled with smart women, Black folks, LGBTQIA. People willing to work. The party is not perfect but it does not need to bend to the will of disaffected Bernie supporters. And that’s what this fight is really about.
This not about “fight” or a “plan” or “meeting the moment” or none of that shit. This is about a calculated effort to take over a party that rejected them. It’s happening on multiple fronts and either you get that or you don’t. Either you see it or you won’t.
I do not want a "fighter." I don't want politicians always on Twitter "fighting" about something. I want workers. People willing to put in the time and sweat equity. Don't tell me your plans. Get in there and work for them. Show me your history of turning your plans into action.

We need to make “Vote Harder or Fuck You” shirts.
Or maybe “I Vote as Hard as I Fuck.” Does that work? Just brainstorming here.
We also need "I'm in #KHive. Do I look like a mufuckin' Karen?" shirts.
