"do better" this phrase usually comes after someone is shaming you or trying to give people advice is it a little condescending?

"do better" this phrase usually comes after someone is shaming you or trying to give people advice is it a little condescending? Not too familiar with this. Could you give an example? I just went to Twitter and searched "do better" it's very popular there. Here is a few examples from just the past hour California schools? What the heck does that have to do with anything? How do you know I’m from California and didn’t just move here? How do you know I didn’t go to school elsewhere. The assumptions are trifling. And your “sarcasm” is insulting. Do better. You said it I didn’t. Sowell is Sowell, a tool to be used as blunt instrument by people such as yourself who are working almost exclusively from your anecdotal experience, BS libertarian and GOP fed talking points. Do better. “Fired”?! Gimme a break. You’d have to be a trump supporter to think he wasn’t threatening physical harm. You know, like the physical harm of protesters he openly advocates at his rallies? Do better All of the people you’ve been arguing with here have taken multiple forms of chemo at different times for autoimmune diseases, some of us since children, and we were all told and treated as though it was chemotherapy. You are not trying to see both sides. & if you are, do better i CANT stand ppl who play victim!! we all going thru shit!! own up to ur mistakes!! admit u were a shitty person and do better!! the newest episode felt like yall were queerbaiting us. There was so much subtext for a relationship between Clover and Qrow and then you did that. I'm not dropping the show, but I am extremely disappointed in how that ended. Please do better Mfs think it’s sooo funny to disrespect women , until it comes to their own daughter, sister, etc. do better |

Thanks. I never do twitter so I was not familiar with the phrase in this context. It certainly is condescending in every example that you gave.

I've never seen it. It must be a Southern thing. Do better. Yeah you didn't really use it correctly so I guess so. I don't think it's a southern thing I think it's probably like a Twitter thing I think it comes from the left |

"do better" this phrase usually comes after someone is shaming you or trying to give people advice is it a little condescending? If someone says "you can do better" just move on and don't care too much, unless it's said too often

If someone says "you can do better" just move on and don't care too much, unless it's said too often yeah that's totally different, if any word comes before do better it's usually a positive thing, but I'm just talking about those two words on their own like in the examples I gave |
