    why are we so horny to say JOE BIDEN GOOD or JOE BIDEN BAD?

    I’ll 100% agree with this – I actually feel pretty weird coming in and saying all good things about any establishment Democrat like some kind of faithful CNN viewer. For me I actually try to make a deliberate effort to air criticism of Biden where it’s due (bottom comment here or talking about his support for Israel), although I can kind of understand the desire to respond to “Biden bad Biden bad Biden bad” in this sort of endless drumbeat with saying he’s good on everything, just to sort of “counterbalance.”

    But yeah there’s nothing wrong with just saying it the way it is, good or bad.

    go unionize your workplace. go help out your neighbors and friends, go and participate in local government. vote for biden to minimize the violence that will inevitably occur. plant a garden for your community. support local artists who might be disabled or unable to work. tip your waiter. be decent? be kind.

    1,000% agree. Internet is nice to be able to communicate about interests that maybe people in your real world environment don’t share. But nothing about real political and social change will happen from typing a comment.

      You’re the very first person on many threads to accuse Biden’s critics of being Russian shills.
