EDIT: I find the article interesting, but not in the good sense. I'm glad to know, but it only leaves me feeling achy.

I also find the down votes for this post interesting. The source is trustworthy and accurately reflects the US American populace. Perhaps the negative votes simply reflect how many, including myself, feel about this news in general.

From the perspective of the left: I think a lot of that is coming from the fact that, you know, he and the DNC failed to stop the fascists from winning

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 weeks ago

Yes, this would be my largest gripe with him

[–] K1nsey6@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago

The role of the DNC has never been to stop fascists from winning, or even win elections for that matter. Their role is to prevent leftist organizations and movements from gaining a foothold that could threaten their positions of power among the right wing oligarchy

Yeah, I remember 2020 with a pandemic all over us and thinking to myself, this Trump guy did all he could. /s

It makes total sense as all the right leaning people already hated Biden, and he disillusioned many on the left. Trump never lost support of his mouth frothing racist morons.

I'm glad people are starting to see him for who he truly is instead of what his campaign managers and pr consultants wanted us to see

[–] K1nsey6@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I saw Biden for who he was decades ago. And many leftists warned of this in 2019/2020. But Democrats in their arrogant hubris ignored us

fwiw: i don't think it's hubris, i think it's ignorance of the both the innocent and willful kind.

having been one of them in the past; i can understand why.

It's hubris, they are 110% certain their way is the only direction forward, and any other suggestions are only helping their opposition.

they've been propagandized to believe so and they know that they will suffer social and professional ostracization. i don't blame them; especially when they have families to feed and friends to protect within this system.
