Wait what? You just posted this… “criticism is the currency of progress. Embrace it, it’s helping, and it’s motivating Democrats to do better” - so it helps? Or it doesn’t? You just said exactly opposite things in the same thread.
My 2 cents: valid criticism is useful. What isn’t useful? Dissing Democrats in general terms (they suck, they are feckless, etc.), or based on false information, or unrealistic assumptions.
Yesterday an account with a huge following was upset by Trump, and decided to blame Mueller for not locking him up. Like… Mueller didn’t have the power to lock him up. The Mueller report was exactly what Congress needed to impeach and remove him. He put the entire case on a silver platter and handed it to Congress.
My point? Blaming Democrats for stuff they didn’t even do just because you are mad at Republicans is displaced anger. It helps nobody; use that anger by making an anti-Trump sign and going onto the street. It would be far more useful than saying “Mueller sucks” when he clearly doesn’t suck and did everything in his power to get rid of 45.
