Except it literally was during the election.
Good. That's when Democrats should be criticized the most, because that is the only time you have the power to exercise any leverage over them. Why would you refuse to criticize them when you actually have a tiny bit of leverage and wait until you have no power at all and your criticism is completely irrelevant and will be ignored? That is just someone who wants to complain but doesn't actually want anything to change.
Pretty dumb question ask after this particular election. Let's see, if you had stock in a company who only sold a product once every four years, should you complain about the company and its products during the sale? Hmmm. Hmmm.
Only if you're privileged enough that the failure of success of the sale won't affect you. Yeah, we see you.
Ah yes, crying about "privilege" while you're here demanding that people shouldn't speak out against a literal modern day holocaust at the only time when they have the political power to make some sort of difference. Yeah, it's totally those people who are "privileged" and not your white pasty ass who doesn't have to worry about their extended family being slaughtered.
