Let us simply use the standard that is frequently applied to Trump. If someone says something objectionable then you should counter it, no? How often do we hear about white supremacist patriarchy? How often do we hear attacks on law enforcement? You have members of Congress comparing law enforcement to terrorist organizations. I don't hear a lot of push back for any of these assertions. If I'm missing it please let me know, I'd prefer to be wrong about this. As it stands I see a Democratic party that is catering to the absolutely worst aspects of the current zeitgeist and I want zero part of it.
I’ve seen a 70-something y/o man get a skull fracture in Buffalo and a Navy veteran in Portland require surgery for protesting. I’ve seen reporters body checked for no reason. I’ve seen home owners shot with non-lethal munitions just for being on their front porch. I’ve seen protesters tear gassed for a photo op.
And I don’t even watch the news. And I don’t want to have anything to do with a president who will misuse military troops against US citizens due to stupidity and ego.
