Not fielding good candidates for bad reasons and giving the election to @#$%ing Trump is on the Dems.
Forcing grant applicants to include irrelevant DEI language in applications is on the Dems.

Pointing out to the Dems that they really have to fix themselves will.
This would help us avoid things like swathes of progressives getting sold on this message that dems are the real problem and subsequently not voting, voting third party, or deciding to support the loons, causing the loons to win.

Your confusion here might explain why your comments are apparently being viewed by so many others as low value (just observing here, not making that judgement myself), and why you're being so consistently corrected by others in this HN post. Try to take our constructive criticism constructively. Don't fall into the common right-wing trope-trap of thinking anyone who disagrees with you or downvotes you is an enemy plotting against you who must be defeated. Open yourself to changing your mind based on overwhelming feedback from many others. Don't "dig in"/"double down" like the current president of the usa [0].
I say "confusion" because I have good faith in you, and don't think you're engaging in tired whataboutism in an attempt to redirect criticism away from those at fault intentionally. I imagine the reason you're doing it, is likely just a mistake on your part, hence the helpful advice above.
