Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

Too bad Harris was so . . . whatever it was she was. At least we don’t have to deal with incremental progress.
Did she even run on it? Didn't do much to prevent the abortion bounties https://www.npr.org/2022/07/11/1107741175/texas-abortion-bounty-law
She did not, in fact, run for office in Texas. Good news there too, trump created more house seats there to ensure continued ratfuckery. And she didn’t run on that either! Gosh. So terrible.
She also didn't run for incremental progress forward, or the Biden administration do much to stop anti abortion laws.
Just like how dems never did anything to make Roe v Wade into law
The only progressive things that have ever happened have been through the Dems. (Social Democrats? No. Greens? No. Piggy Party? Uh, no. ONLY the Democrats.) You want me to go dig up the various efforts to make it into law? I would except for one thing: You're a bad faith actor with nothing to stand on, and it'd just waste my time. Again. So Pffthhhthth.
Excellent rebuttal. Really showing great arguments
As if any would ever make a difference to you. You're open to nothing, bad-faith debating only with the single purpose of keeping republicans in power.
And we're back to critics of the dnc are just republicans!
No, no not at all. Working to advance any concrete political goals is not the Lemmyleft™ way.
It’s just that you support the republicans at every turn by undermining any Democratic progress. Not that you are republicans. That would be too much investment.
So again to you being critical of the flaws in the left party in the usa means that person is a republican supporter?
What amazing logic. And any attempt to disprove this will still be ignored because I don't like how similar the dems are to the republicans in their policy.
Impeccable
Yes, and here’s the empirical proof you conveniently refuse to cop to despite knowing how true it is: you do not support the only party that is in a position to stop the republican fascist agenda. Not on social media, not irl, and sure as shit not at the ballot box.
So you’re part of an imaginary “left” party, great. It doesn’t matter a single bit. Be a monarchist for all it fucking matters to anything. You’re not stopping the billionaire handmaidens, and everything you say is designed to ensure they will never be stopped.
Again showing if at all critical of the dems/dnc you can only be a republican.
Continue to think that as we watch both parties happily continue the fascist agenda.
Not “at all” critical - ONLY critical.
As if you’d ever deign to support them. Ha.
And we are back to insults and inhiblity to see why people don't like the democrats and aren't republicans
No we’re back to open lies, obfuscation, and a complete unwillingness to help defeat republicans. Don’t clutch the so-called-lefty pearls and pretend any forward motion in the political world was ever possible, because it wasn’t. Democrats bad, we sit on our hands, The End.
Please list the lies.
Sure, you hold the football and I’ll come running up and kick it.
Not at all surprising. Want to throw out attacks on others but as soon as challenge no you'll just use my words against me
You won’t use my words against me because they’ll be simple facts. What you will do is gish gallop and cry about other made-up shit and it’s no wonder no one wants to “discuss” anything with you. It’s pointless.
Again facts please. Love them. And especially funny when you've only been going around going the gosh gallop when people show how disappointed they are in the dnc.
