    Sure. Doesn’t mean people can’t have feelings about it though. The dems have done very little to effectively fight the GOP. Doesn’t mean OP won’t support them but expressing a little frustration is not undermining anything.

      This isn’t expressing a little frustration. This is promoting apathy and inaction, which in the past has been part of coordinated election interference schemes by the Russians.

        One of the big reason Democrats have lost is that they have this toxic impulse to label any criticism as a Russian or Republican conspiracy. There’s a “speak no evil” mindset that pretends that squashing criticism actually helps. Instead it just makes people bitter. The Dems tried the “sit down and shut up” approach in 2024 over Gaza. There’s nothing voters hate more than being told they have to shut up about the issues they care about. It sends a crystal-clear message:

        We want your votes, not your voices. Sit down, shut up, and do what you’re told. If you don’t vote for us, the bad cop over there will win.

        And the toxic positivity “the more you know” crap is also a trope repeated by Democrats that love losing elections.
