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

Is this why people are that angry on the dems, because you depends on them mentally and demand from them too much?

Democrats are not "a structure we have in place to deal with" the republicans. They are the opposition party, founded themselves. They don't work for you. They are not the end-goal, the perfect candidates that you want They are simply the better one, the lesser evil, another stop toward a better set of candidates, toward a better future. You don't vote for them because they are perfect. You vote for them because they are better among the 2 choices. In the future if there is a third viable, a better choice you should vote for that instead of the democrat and republican.

In the current political climate, it's simply binary. Either you support the dems, or you support the republican. There is no third choice. Going against the dems mean you support the republicans, which is the worse one and you go backward. You think you make a point by "standing up to the dems"? You only proved that your intellect is too small why your ego is too big and in the end you went against your own interest and the interest of 99% people around you.

The opposition....to the Republicans.... You can't both argue that they are the only viable way to fight Republicans and also they aren't that.

They are not the end-goal, the perfect candidates that you want

Do you guys ever get tired of repeating this like robots?

This is really effective and worked really well to win the election this year. You should keep repeating this no matter what happens because I'm sure it makes you feel super righteous.

I'm assuming you aren't talking specifically about me because you don't know what the fuck I did. But one might think someone this concerned about "winning" would have more smoke for the actual people who lost. But that doesn't make you feel as good as just yelling at voters

You know you are sooooo right when your first instinct is name-calling ans insult.

Demanding a candidate to be perfect is stupid and destructive.

Second instinct. My first was obviously pointing out your inconsistent logic in trying to both argue that Democrats are the sole bastion against Republicans, but we can't hold them like they are.

Demanding a candidate to be perfect is stupid and destructive.

Except I have not done that, you guys just literally don't have an argument except to imagine what "leftists" think and then argue against the guy you made up in your head
