I disagree. The online left is OBSESSED with dunking. It's all they do.

But the “online left”, as Color Me Skeptical pointed out, is NOT the DNC nor any particular caucus within the Democratic Party at large.

The “online left” and the House Freedom Caucus are NOT equivalent in any way! One is a bunch of people on social media doing what people on social media do, ie complain and troll, while the other is a caucus within the House of Representatives of the United States! THAT’S what strikes me about this: the Right has fundamentally changed the way our political conversations take place and the tone that they take.

Chris, can you actually give an example of THAT sort of childish behavior from an organized Democratic Party source? THAT would be equivalent.

Yeah, I'd love to see any official communique or tweet from any Dem committee, caucus, or elected official crapping on Boebert over this. I haven't seen it. But then I left Xitter a long time ago for a reason.

The online left is not the base of the Democratic Party.

Is anyone of the Democratic Party leadership or any of the Congressional Democratic Leadership dunking on McConnell? I suspect they are not.

Is President Biden dunking on McConnell? No, most certainly not.

Is the Chair of the Democratic Party dunking on McConnell? I don’t believe so.

You are criticizing the online left and equating them with the Democratic Party. They are not the same.

Meanwhile, the Freedom Caucus, the main body of the Republican Party IS dunking on McConnell. Trump, the absolute leader of the Republican Party, is dunking on McConnell.

You are engaging in false equivalence. And in doing so you are helping the forces of darkness who are intent on destroying democracy in the United States.
