You have no basis whatsoever for believing this. All you’re doing is weakening the opposition and demoralizing the left. You may as well be working for MAGA.

First of all, yes I do.

Second of all, the DNC is a sorry excuse for a supposed opposition and they’re certainly not the Left.

Third of all, people like you reflexively vilifying everyone who criticize the corruption and ineptitude of the DNC leadership are who may as well be working for MAGA, as you’re keeping them in power by shielding the ones who lose eminently winnable elections to them from accountability.
