I did.

Liberals are, for all their talk, in a Stockholm Syndrome kind of love with the DNC.

So your criticism of liberals is... they vote for the party the most closely aligns with their views? And this is somehow analogous to death cults and MAGA extremism?

It doesn't align with their views; that's the whole problem. Liberals carry water for the DNC even though they hate the nonsense it does as much as everyone else. At least I don't think I've seen anyone around here say that Biden supporting genocide* or not going after price gouging were good things. It's always excuses, "lesser" evils and false dichotomies to make sure the Democrats are always just good enough to not throw aside. That's why I likened it to the Stockholm Syndrome.

That's still not analogous to MAGA extremism, Democrats have much more favorable social policies, which is what most Americans care about. Voting for the party that does more about the values you care about is not a death cult unless you think basic LGBT rights are a death cult.
