The time to criticize Democratic party is when you run, support, canvas for a better candidate, (better candidate in the framework of Democratic party, since US is a two-party system at the moment). If you're doing nothing for a year and just start shitting on the party when it's close to elections, you're a willing on unwilling conservative supporter, it's simple as that.
If you believe that you will be able to just get third party going, not only you're braindead, you actually don't care about lives of other people, and optics are more important than people to you, which makes you a bad person with bad morals.
If you just sit around, waiting for a good candidate to materialise before your eyes, you're just braindead.
That's why Dems only run establishment boring candidates and don't want to change anything, because their support is steady and consistent.
Your lack of awareness does not extend to everyone else and you seem to be waiting for others to do enough work to give you an easy candidate that already has everything figured out.
Well we are trying so you can stop complaining and ignore us till we do then. I do not need nor care for your input or lack of effort.
My lack of awareness about your effort shows that your effort sucks and you didn't achieve shit. So the same way you criticize Democrats of not listening to you, I can criticize you for not being loud enough so they can hear you.
You are responding right now. The conversation is being had. You hear plenty.
