You posted so much, every time, all the time, in threads related about Omar about how we should 'unite' as if you want people to always obey your directive about what level of criticism is acceptable when directed towards the Dems themselves on how they treated her.
Of course I want the Dems to be united, don't you? You're not going to beat Trump or the Republicans with a shattered left who are divided on issues like this. Deescalation between sub-groups is crucial to heal and lower tensions so when the time comes they're still on the mindset of being up to 11 emotionally and saying screw Democrats to anyone in earshot (this has been an issue since '16) isn't helping this process, it's maintaining the escalation. What's missing here is not that I want to obey my orders, it's to have an open mind to listen to what I have to say and accept that it's not in a bad faith. This is a massive barrier I've encountered on this forum between the Leftists and everyone else. Even in this paragraph your first instinct is to think in binary terms when I'm offering more than that in my arguments. Which comes back to unity, why would people believe you'll vote for Dems when you couldn't be bothering showing signs that you'll listen to people in the same party who you disagree with?
When the criticism entails agreeing with the Left or Republicans and no in between, yeah, I'm going to call that out as bullshit and erasing the Democrats (who are too often seen as collaborators or identical to Republicans, when all they've done is suggest maybe Omar needs to word her statement a bit better). It gets exhausting and it's not a recipe for genuine dialogue between groups.
In fact, you posted about 'unity'so much that despite your claim that you're okay thar people are criticizing the Dems over how they treated Omar, what you really want seem to be for people to not say anything about it at all, as it seems like right now ANY criticism towards the Dems are so quick to be pointed as BREAKING THE UNITY by you.
Regarding posters reactions benefit of a doubt is really running out for me in relation to whether you're unaware of how aggressive in your "critiques" or this is simply projection over how you know they're going overboard but are pretending to ignore the implications as admitting this people are not offering genuine criticism is a blow many posters on the left can't afford to their reputations on the forums. I've emphatically posted with depth, grey areas and occasionally testing black and white view points with variety and in good faith but I continuously get reacted in pure binary ultimatums for political questions few people know all the answers to. You're doing it right now with this paragraph.

Framing my arguments wrongly as agree with me or shut up when that's rarely how I engage. This encapsulates all my arguments about criticism of the Dems as being a non-starter when that wasn't what I was arguing at all, aside from extreme circumstances.
Breaking the unity is another subject which we're clashing over, when unity is a strength in politics. Everyone does this, you're doing this right by building solidarity with Leftists posters in here. But when it comes to Democrats, this isn't a concern - despite the fact many of my opponents engage in scorched earth tactics at a drop of hat and you're asking me why I'm concerned about unity? Why wouldn't I be? The country is at stake yet your framing this as though we're all calmly discussing quaint concerns over a cup of tea when that's far from the case with these discussions. So of course I'll occasionally defend myself when it gets overwhelming, anyone would.
What's truly amazing here is that I agree with plenty Leftists have to say on the Democrats, how the system needs reform, regarding white supremacy entrenched through America and the racial injustices being perpetuated by the system. The main crux of the debate is how we go about fixing those problems, which is too regularly seen as defending this system when I'm just acknowledging the boulder in our path that people are ignoring.
Added bonus by saying condescending stuff like 'you're helping Trump here!' or by saying like you know what's best for Omar and that you have her best interest at heart and how anyone disagreeing with you is supporting Trump or hurting her. Fuck that kind of rhetoric is aggravating. You seem to always want to dictate how people are feeling and responding.
First off, I'm not the only one in these conversations who believe disagreeing with opinions is helping the GOP. Plenty on the Left act like this, as well, yet I don't see you berating them for it. What gets me about this response is that you think the left is blameless for emotional manipulation here when they do to a vastly higher level than I ever have. Now, I'm saying everyone does this but plenty do and again, not a word from you on this. Just business as usual. But when you think a centrist does it, then it becomes unacceptable.
How we got here is tactics. Do you consider every political fight/argument to be fought with scorched Earth solution? Because I don't.
Frankly, I found your patronizing, grandstanding, and posturing to be really tiring and unnecessary. You always seem ready to do this in each and every thread about her. What makes you the sole arbiter of acceptable level of criticism towards the Dems over how they treated her anyway?
Ok, I haven't been doing this in every thread about Omar, while I have been in a few I haven't posted in all of them. I'm just a single person with an opinion, and I'm not the only person on this forum with that point of view. I never said my opinion should be the sole point of authority on this subject yet conveniently I never hear you commenting on why you think your side has all the answers but anyone who isn't a leftist should obey without question.
There's plenty of judging going on here, that's just human nature and everyone does it.
