"Democrats are not doing enough to encourage people to vote for Democrats." is a warning, not a threat.
People who make and post memes like this seem to think that the people complaining about conservative Democrats and pointing out problems in the party are not voting for Democrats. I think they largely wrong about that. We are voting for all Democrats all the time, but warning you that your messaging sucks and you are not going to get the turnout you need. It is not our fault we were correct.
Wrong! ANY criticism of the party means you’re a secret maga Russian plant. The democrats are perfect and don’t need to improve in any way!

I mean, you certainly argue like a MAGA.
Exactly. "Back the blue no matter who" is great and dandy in the months between primaries and the election, but at any other time it's a straight-up nonsense phrase. We're now well into the "Who'll be the new blue?" stage, and the last thing we need is to let some ancient, entitled, dem politician shuffle in and take "their turn" and for democrats to just go with it again. Now's the time to build a movement against the dnc establishment and for the progressive wing.
I also don't really see the point in the meme and ones like it. The election already happened, and whether you personally blame voters or the dnc, either way it's the dnc's problem to fix or they're gonna go extinct.
No. It’s your fault you’re not doing anything about it.
Create a community for every state and win the midterms (where applicable). Start there.
We are trying. I volunteer for campaigns and knock on doors for progressive candidates. And they get attacked by the kind of democrats who take most of their campaign contributions from property developers and car dealerships.
If you are voting for the establishment and attacking anybody who brings up valid criticisms, YOU are not doing anything about it.
Lemmy tradition: assuming everyone else is a keyboard warrior with no direct action.
