    I have a laundry-list of problems with the Dems, from their civility politics to their economic policy. What do you want to hear? That Dem leadership is a bunch of spineless, feckless out-of-touch geriatrics who sway with the political breeze like a palm tree in a hurricane? That the Dem urge to not make waves has steadily eroded the status of labor since the 90s and only now, with increased awareness and mass activism, are we recovering any ground? That Dems are quick to jump on PR solutions instead of fixing fundamental problems? That Dem politicians have been increasingly beholden to special interests since Citizens United?

    Sorry for finding “Oh, you dislike the Democrats? Name their five worst albums” a terribly juvenile way of acting.

      Does it sound reasonable for me to dismiss all of this as “fuck the Democrats”? Because that’s what your meme does.

      I think the same about people who whine that all criticism is unfair, then pretend they didn’t.

        … uh…

        … obviously, it’s not there, as the flowchart is quite clearly trying to demonstrate the absurdity of a particular mentality, not give all possibilities for all mindsets?

        … did you forget that you read this, or did you just not comprehend it?

        Well, my guy, I don’t really have the patience to deal with someone who has a chip on their shoulder about slights they invent against themselves, so I think I’m gonna end this here. You have fun playing with yourself.
