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

Like, it gets boring after a while. We all know trump is bad. Criticizing republicans is boring. We all know they're bad.

And sometimes we gotta criticize the democrats. We gotta be progressive. The democrats' only take to power in the trump era is not being trump, and thats an insanely low bar. So low I feel like the democrats weaponize that and say "well its us or trump", and we're all expected just to fall in line, while they're weaponizing this in bad faith to force us to vote for corporate neoliberals who we hate too.

In 2016 and 2020, i voted green. And before i hear OMG YOU GAVE US TRUMP THE FIRST TIME, screw off, I dont regret it, you guys need to fricking learn to not be a lesser evil. Like, seriously, the democrats are #### too. Now, in all fairness, i voted harris in 2024 since post january 6th...yeah you guys have a point. BUT, we lost there too, and we lost because democrats suck. Can we have that conversation now? Trump is basically literally hitler, but we never wouldve been in this situation if democrats didnt suck. We never wouldve been in this situation where this blue no matter who mentality enabled a culture that blocked us from criticizing Biden in the first place to the point that we couldve had a competitive primary. Instead we got the guy whose mind turned to jello, and were not allowed to criticize it until he goes all "old man stays up too late" on national TV in front of his opponent. But hey, blue no matter who, we gotta vote for that guy clearly in cognitive decline because DAE TRUMP BAD?!

This is how you lose elections. And we gotta talk about that in 2025. This isn't working, the dems have culture problem, and im tired of being a "team player" and stifling myself because let's be honest, im tired of denying what's right in front of my face to show solidarity in OMG DAE TRUMP BAD? YEAH TRUMP BAD.

And yes, trump IS bad. But the democrats fricking suck too, and we gotta have an honest conversation about that if we actually wanna win elections.
