This kind of stupidity HAS to stop

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Whenever I see an article or tweet that begins with “It’s time for the Democrats to…” I stop reading. It’s just pundits trying to make themselves look clever by dishonestly bashing the Democrats. It’s pure clickbait. Unfortunately, liberal activists always get sucked in by it.

Are the Democrats above critique? Of course not. But these kinds of articles are always just an exercise in bashing the Democrats for not trying some kind of magic wand solution. It’s always dishonest “criticism” aimed at riling up liberal activists and getting clicks.

The kicker is that if you try honestly critiquing the Democrats for the more subtle things they might be getting wrong, there’s no audience for it, because it’s drowned out by all the “why won’t the cowardly Democrats just wave a magic wand” clickbait.
