* Reads a post pointing out our party’s glaring failure to do more, which it easily could have.

* Decides to deflect the sense of unease by claiming it’s giving the fascists a pass.

Yep, that doesn’t work. It’s not working in the halls of congress, and it’s not persuasive here. We can, and we must, do more. The party itself must do much more, or continue losing credibility.
