Something that I realized about the fediverse is that you seem to be able to criticize the USA as a whole, but if you criticize the Democrats you get downvoted. Democrats suck they are not sacred cows

I’ve seen plenty of folks criticize dems without getting downvoted.

I do agree that democrats are not scared cows? Maybe scared, but not cows.
