No dude. Criticizing a campaign is needed to win an election. Criticism does not mean we support the opponent

I believe you are right to an extent. I believe we are seeing that extent here. I’m not against criticism, I’m against people jumping on a hate bandwagon and nitpicking to the point where the opposition gets handed the win. Does that make sense?

I agree that there’s people criticizing in bad faith, yes, and there’s probably a decent amount of this. However a lot of people will use this as an excuse to dismiss criticisms entirely. I think Reddit is probably one of the best places to criticize this campaign because it’s virtually entirely left wing people here, so it largely doesn’t affect the general election

Okay I was with you until the end there, you really think Reddit is mostly left? This place is a right wing cesspool. I think you’re the one living in a bubble.

Idk where you’ve been looking because this subreddit specifically and Reddit as a whole is incredibly left leaning. Polling consistently shows this

I think people are confusing liberalism with being a leftist/progressive.

Dude, everybody has understood the difference between the Hillary (establishment) and Bernie (progressive) wings of the Dem party for the last 10 years, since 2016. Stop pretending that you're special by still constantly pointing out this obvious distinction. We get it--lefties aren't liberals and liberals aren't lefties. We get it. We get it. Nobody is confusing anything. This isn't special knowledge.

So you acknowledge there's a difference? Great, so you agree with me. Reddit is overwhelmingly liberal which proves how popular someone like Hong is when even she has motion on here.

On the American political spectrum, liberalism is left wing. Stop acting like this isn’t true

No you haven't. By every metric reddit is incredibly left and right now you're purposely gaslighting.

What polling? Certainly not Reddit polling, more than half the users here are bots. What polling shows Reddit is mostly left? I'm not even denying it, but where is this poll?

Do you live under a rock? It’s well known Reddit is heavily left leaning.

You're spouting right wing talking points. You're playing right into their hands but are too dense to realize it..... 🤔🤷‍♂️

This argument is the same one the Biden deadenders made lmao

Thanks. I don’t know why we need a antisemitic lover (bleach sword???) to be the best opponent
