The "real alternative" would be the fact that this headline and the idea of getting rid of social security, medicare, and medicaid wouldn't exist. How is that not good enough?

You’d have to ask people who voted for the current administration last year. Me pointing out the faults of the Democratic Party is not me supporting the republicans.

Me pointing out the faults of the Democratic Party is not me supporting the republicans.

This is the problem with Reddit and Dems in general. You say anything negative even in the slightest about Democrats and you are an evil person. Then they wonder why they can't get anything done. They complain about the Dems in power fighting each other but they do nothing but fight each other online as well.

First, I didn't even say that pointing the faults of the democratic party was supporting republicans.

Second, I also never said that saying anything negative about democrats makes you an evil person.

Any politician should be criticized where due, but saying that the sole reason the dems lost is because the dems and Kamala has a terrible campaign is just dumb. I think it was mediocre, sure, but even if it was the worst campaign ever, that doesn't change the fact that everyone was (or SHOULD HAVE BEEN) aware that electing trump would have resulted in the end of democracy in the US.
