without trying to silence the voices saying the Democrats must do better
I genuinely don’t understand where this comes from. I haven’t seen a single serious person argue that we shouldn’t criticize the Biden administration or the Democrats. What does get pushback is the idea that we shouldn’t vote for them in November. When someone is suggesting the solution to the very real issues the Democratic Party has is to enable the GOP and give them more power they absolutely should get chastised.
Agreed on everything else though. If everyone who was upset about Biden actually got involved and voted in the primaries it would be much easier to get representation that actually serves our needs. The DNC only has so much control.
