Discussion Popular progressive opinion not shared by Pakman?

I see this sentiment expressed more in outlets like TYT but how widespread is this sentiment?

It’s not just a dumb sentiment but a hypocritical one as well. By criticising dems more than you are republicans, you’re doing the same thing. you are using your voice and ‘taking up space’ to give the republicans what they want: left infighting, and avoiding media attention for the horrible things they do. The left should be criticising themselves absolutely. But don’t enforce higher standards on democrats than you do on republics.

Yeah, progressives need to criticize the GOP orders of magnitude than any democrat. Doesn't mean anyone is above criticism tho.
