I feel like their point was that if being told that democrats wont save us sends you into a doomerism spiral of misery and despair, that’s maybe something you should work on yourself. And a more sober reading of our current situation is not that one should lose all hope, but that they should find it outside the democratic party.
A better way to say that would be to include even the faintest reference to something that would save us, rather than just, as my former coworkers would often say of their shitty manager, “swoop and poop”. Basically meaning dropping by to casually say “this approach is shit; no further notes”.

I don’t find any less validity in saying “That’s a bad idea” vs “This thing should happen” if both have no offered substance.
