Are you saying Democratic supporters rallied behind Biden during the election, then got more critical of him once in office?
Are you saying it was right or wrong to do so?
Personally I’ve always maintained that Biden is pretty average; but literally all I’m looking for during these days where rampant fascism and general bigotry is on the rise — and when our literal Democracy is on the line and trying to be actively thwarted by forces foreign and domestic — is stability. Average, stable sounds great relative to the guaranteed alternative. Such is the dichotomy we live with every election cycle.
Yes, post-election when fascism may be averted, pressure rises from both sides: (1) From the left to try to compel Biden to greater action, and (2) Pure mudslinging from the right-wing propaganda machine. That’s par for the course and would be no different if Bernie himself was put in office.
I want Trump to lose, I don’t care who or how that happens.
Im saying many leftists went on about how good he would be etc, so as to not lose momentum snd afterwards they went right back to being more honest about how shit he is.
All i want is the return to that truth, because then we can start pushing for the radical changes needed. Biden and lib dems cannot be “compelled”, they dont listen to the concerns of the people over corporate interests. The only solution is to get back to agitating for overthrowing the state and working on that goal.
It’s not long now until this election diversion is over and we can focus on more pressing issues, so I’m excited.
If that’s what you’re waiting for, then you really don’t have a grasp on the zeitgeist.
We’ll see.
Exact same thing happened last election on reddit.
Everyone rallied around Biden, straight after it was back to shitting on him, I expect little different here if he wins.
Sorry, can you please elaborate what you mean?
