When crapping on Bidey boi I’d recommend letting folks know that part.
Personally I can be tough on him again after the election. This is an unfortunate time to express certain entirely reasonable and truthful feelings. Feeling the way you do means you’re an ally to what’s good in the world. Expressing it right now could be counterproductive to those same sensibilities.
That’s all I have on self censorship for now :)
Sadly it's still a "both sides" argument that is either horribly misinformed. I am not saying people have to like Biden. But "they are different pieces of shit" still implies similarity to Trump. Which... no.
Comparison like that should definitely be avoided.
I get where you're coming from, but I disagree vehemently. Your comment invokes the same logic that has always been used to suppress the voice of the left. The US is never not in election mode, and people like you will, with all good intentions, always claim it's "not the right time."
I find it rather absurd to say that during an election is an inappropriate time to criticize a politician. If a politician is so weak and uninspiring that mere criticism of them from the electorate could cost them the election, they're a bad candidate and shouldn't be running. That sort of political ego is what got us Trump in the first place.
Already having a nominee is a big factor here. I hope you didn’t hear this kind of thing about Biden 2021, 2022…
!remindme after election for a response 😉
Have you been on the Internet in the last 8 years? It's been the same thing since 2016, without stopping. Online Democrats can't ever let anyone criticize the party, or take any blame for their own past failures. Especially the one that gave us Trump in the first place.
For the after the election smirk, I'd refer you back to the comment you first responded to. Not to mention, Democrats were similarly arrogant and entitled in 2016. The Democrats treat this like a race to the bottom and run the most centrist candidates they think they can get away with. And if they ever lose, they just scream at the left for not supporting them enough.
