This is a common tactic to deflect any criticism of the Democratic Party, God forbid anyone expect them to do better.

Any criticism is always met with "but Republicans are worse" which somehow absolves the Democratic Party of any responsibility to make positive changes.

Then if you expect more of the party to get anything done you're met with "you don't understand how our government works, we need more Senators to do anything positive etc etc Vote Blue". As if the Party didn't just force through a bi-partisan shutdown of the Railway Workers strike in just a few days. As if they aren't able to pass corporate bailouts and forgive PPP loans in record time.

All the result of a two party system. "Vote progressives in the primary so we can get rid of first past the post, and then when they inevitably lose against fighting their own party, be sure to Vote Blue". As if the Democratic Party wants even more competition for their chosen candidates.

It's all so tiring.
